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

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 :tup:

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.

3) Evo's and STI's have very very short gearing. I, for example have an STI, and on the highway 80mph means 35-3700RPM in 6th. Also the fact that it has a small turbo for response means that the turbo can't flow enough CFM to make big power on the top end means that it is NOT a top end highway run car.

4) STI's advertise 300hp when in reality they make around 230WHP stock. There is a BIG drivetrain loss.

5) G37 Should keep up with an STI stock for stock, but at stage two, it will not.

I am shocked about the authority with which some of you speak when you don't know enough to make accurate statements.

As far as racing cobalts...come on lol..a cobalt? Were you really that surprised?
