[mattkim85]

Finallyyyyy i hit 1200 miles and got to let the car loooooose..
first time a freeway on ramp felt so short..
so yea on my way home from work .. just got off the freeway and i see a modified cobalt SS chasing me and "luckily" got a red light side by side. me and the guy talked for a couple secs and turned green.

i thought it would be a close race but.... wow....
my first kill and it had to be a SS.... lol jk

[Crash]

LOL! Nice... Cobalt SSs are funny. Their stage 3 hardly kept up with my Trans Am when it was bone stock.

with a new super charger pulley and a reflash they take out STIs from a roll..

power to weight and awd vs fwd from a roll. seriously who do you think is gonna win?

sti's and evo's are not great highway cars. if you want a great highway car thats awd look at an Audi S4, Nissan skyline GTR or a 3000gt VR4.

Why aren't the Evo's good for the highway?

[TerribleONE]

i was speaking from like a 30 roll... not a highway roll.. thats obviously not a fair comparison.. and because when you think about it they really do not have much HP and TQ for their weight.. the AWD robs a lot of power and traction just gets them out of the hole insanely fast.. even a stock G37 runs with a stock STI from a roll..

Because AWD but even after tune and with exhaust system the car lose its power on the 4th and 5th gear i am talking about the factory twin turbo .
but if u change the turbo it will be another story
the evo = V8 Killer

Well, the G37 and the STI are around the same hp stock for stock of course the G is going to stay with the STI. The STI runs out of steam around 4000rpm because of a small turbo, so the top end for them aren't so great. In the Evo that's a different story it has a slightly smaller displacement than the STI by about .5 liters but has a bigger turbo to help it on the top end.

I had a 04 modded out stock turbo Evo 8 and it took out alot of cars from a 30mph roll. My last race was against a Gallardo on the beltway going over 100+mph and he did not pull an inch away from me on top end, and at that time my car dyno'd only around 376whp @24psi around 5500rpm. Though the reading was low that pull was done in 3rd at 5500rpm, the car pulls like a beast up top for a stock turbo. I can hit 120mph in 4th at extactly 7200rpm. So that's why I don't agree with the above statements.

Nobody twin turbos a 4 cyl. As far as I know, the Evo is a 4 banger.
