I hate coming on this site now because its ran by a bunch of stupid kids or stupid adults that act like kids now, but the air obviously needs to be cleaned up.
Let me just stop you right there and tell you to shut the fuck up because you obviously don't know what the hell you are talking about. Evo's don't need aftermarket half shafts FYI.
Always ignorance coming from you..
Yes you do have to "LAUNCH" an Evo if its going to be ran from a dig. Its not like a Corvette that has a lot of torque at a low RPM and can be eased off the line and still be quick and fast. Evo's need to build boost off line to get a good start. Big turbo Evo's don't start making torque until about 4500 RPM's. I don't know if you've ever been in a big turbo car, but they take time to spool up and won't be worth a damn if it was eased off the line. They can be fast, but not quick. Completely different cars from any N/A LS car.
Traction isn't much of an issue with these cars so they don't need tires unless you're running around on all seasons.
Also I don't know where you got this "driver" idea from? No one is his driver. Yes I did drive his car one night because he hurt his hand earlier in the day, but that was a one time occurrence and wasn't going to be the case for that night he wanted to run you.
Evo's clutch, transmissions, transfer cases are all not cheap if something goes wrong or breaks. Which happens quite often when you make tons of power in a car that only came with 286hp crank from the factory. Why risk breaking something for a fun run?
I'll race anyone at mostly any speed, but I won't do any digs. Been there done that at the track and split the casing of my transmission. It wasn't fun paying the $3k+ bill to fix.
And I won't not do digs because I can't drive from a dig, but because its just not worth it to me or some other high HP Evo owners. I've done plenty of Dig runs in the past when I was only pushing 400HP and beat tons of people. I ran a 11.8 @ 110 with a shitty 1.7 60ft fighting for traction. That should show you what kind of driver I am right there. Its not always the "driver mod" when people won't run a certain race. There's always different factors.
