:twisted: Heres a good one: Just happened about 1 hour ago in Sacramento.
I raced a STi and Walked him.
STi had a turbo back and boost controller - how much boost hes running i have no idea.
So heres one good kill for us Evos.
I was cruising to get my taxes done and I see this STi (silver) near my house, he slows down and waits for me. I get to him side by side and we both punch it, I pulled on him a little but slowed down. Did that a few more times and each time I pulled on his ass.
Then we finally got to a sweet spot, two lanes and a Stop sign.
We both lined up at the stop sign.
He rolls down his window and counts to three.
He takes off launches his car.... nice launch by the way, and I semi launch my Evo (i'm still babying my clutch).
Off the line he pulls a little less than half a car in front of me, then my car starts to wake up and my turbo spools, I'm still pulling in first gear and I hear him shift, I look at my tach i'm hitting 6500rpm and still going, then I powershift into 2nd gear (praying the whole time I dont miss the shift), by the time I shift into 2nd I am neck to neck with his car, then I hear him shift again, and I"m still pulling, by this 2nd shift the race is over cuz he loses some time in the shift and my car starts pulling away, now i'm a little 1/4 of car ahead of him, then i power shift again into 3rd and the race is really over cuz i'm pulling and pulling on him by the time I slammed on my brakes, I am more than a car length ahead of him.
You can imagine the surprise look of his face, he was mind boggled. and also he was the one that kept asking me "come on man what you got, lets see what you got". My response after I won was "my tail lights".
After he loses he's cool and pulls over to bullshit. I told him all i have is catback and he was shitting his pants. He said he got a turbo back and MBC and he thought he was invincible but apparently today, I showed him otherwise.
Also I got really lucky, within the distance we raced, there were at least 2 cops. One was parked on the side of the road but no cop was inside.
On the last race there was a cop going the opposite direction, I thought i was gonna be a goner.
Just another thought tho, this STi owner, doesnt know crap about tuning, why? because i asked him a few questions and he couldn't answer etc.. and plus hes never heard of vishnu or any other company tuning ecus, he's all about the bolt on stuff.
So Xflash and HKS catback, made me feel really good today, I know not all of it can be accounted for by the mods, and some maybe to the driver error of the STi, but now I can gladly say I killed a STi
Oh yeah, before we left, the STi owner commented, man its my 6 speed, if i was on the freeway or we went any longer I would've killed you.
Hhhahaha yeah right biatchhh!!! I was still pulling on him before we stopped.
Power to the Evo people!!!!!!!!! and also I'm giving mad props to Vishnus Xflash, you've made one Evo driver hella happy.
Peace out.
