What's more impressive to you... making a 17.5 ET car run a 15.5 ET... or... running a 12.0 ET with a car that runs a 13.4 ET stock?
In my opinion, a 12 sec car is car more impressive than the amount of effort it takes to shave 2 seconds off of an already slow car. I don't take into account what a car runs stock when its modified unless I wanna do comparisons.
but think about it.... when you say "make an evo run 12's" that could mean a 12.999998. she ran a 12.02. barley missing the 11s mark. now THAT sir, is impressive.Quote:

i say you guys settle it in violence. Violence solves everything.
i agree with random guy, record it too...need some nice videos
for sure... we could sooo create a 2-3 page thread in the videos forum. That would make my week.Quote:

but u musta forgot the most crucial formula:Quote:

but any GTR > evo ...Quote:

its just the attitude, that they have. Some of them think they can hit 11's 12's in a evo they are the ultimate tuner. When people been doin it for years overseas. If i had a evo it woudl prob do 12's also. Its awd it takes a zillion pounds of boost.. great car great motor, but its like a supra, u got to do something extremly oustanding to make it any different form the hundreds runnin around.Quote:

I personally never really cared too much for evo's, something about the 4 doors that doesnt turn me on......i would much rather have a dsm than an evo....but thats just me.... Evos are bad ass cars, but i think for the money you can have a much "badder" car. Supra, mr2, 300zx, 3000gt vr4, rx7,Nsx,Skyline...basiclly the cars that started it all, and are still doing there thing 14 years later down the road....I like the old lancer evolution better than the new ones.....Quote:

Getting a 12 takes a lot more if you were running 13s before. The faster you get the harder it is to squeeze time off your E.T. Wait 'till you get into the 12s, Paul, you'll find out, heehe. You can build 2-3 civics to what the evo cost, yeah - because parts are cheap as hell, who cares? If you like civics, build a civic. If you like evos, build an evo. If you wanna spend 30k on a car and get a 10-12 year old car, get a supra or an RX7.Quote:

But I'm gonna wager a guess and say that Mike never called Clark last night to set up a race, hahahahhaa.
Same concept. Spending 30k on a car that's 12 years old and has over 100k miles on it is stupid. They're not "badder" they're "old".Quote:

considering my car doesnt even run, your correct, and i was at the dyno last night till 11pm.Quote:

But i run him from a dig, from a roll is retarded , 1000whp supra will destroy me, thats his territory, mine is 1/8 mile run were TRACTION plays a factor

Yeah, cuz for one hopefully nobody in their right mind will try to sell a 100k, 93-94 Supra for $30k, unless its already single etc. and even then it's likely ragged all to hell.Quote:

comon, you know that the civic can nevar lose! haha
"yea man, we got like $200 in there, aint that right Deebo"
"I got like $200"
Unfortunately, I have seen it. But this was a few years back when I was looking for a supra - ended up with an N/A one because I couldn't afford a TT. There weren't any under 30 grand - any one I saw for sale that had under 50k miles was going for at LEAST $40k.Quote:

Oh I know, I've seen it too. But like I said, those people weren't in their right minds haha. I was about to buy a 94 with 35k miles on it for $32,500 so not everybody is insane when it comes sales time haha.Quote:
