At least it should be a 12 second car. I haven't ridden in anything faster than a high 13. Well I went srapping today (cutting copper and AC coils out of old changed-out commercial AC units for money), and one of the guys there borrowed his buddies Evo. It has 5 lbs more boost than stock and a tune and exhaust, not sure what else. He dynoed at 325 HP to the wheel. I know they are low 13's stock and come with 300 at the crank, so I guess it very easily should be 12's. Anyway, he took me down the road and
1: Holy sheet that biatch was fast, if definately held you back in the seat, plus the turbo sounded pretty cool.
2: I wasn't really too impressed. I knew it would be fast, but I thought 12 seconds felt faster than that. Granted it pulled hard, but not like what I expected, I figured warp speed. Honestly, it didn't feel that much stronger than my truck from 0-30 mph, but I know it would have kept pulling on me in a race while my truck fell on it's face.

It was fun to be in a fast car, but does not make me re-consider racing my truck at all. I like the torque better. But I bet the owner has fun in it!

ride in a vette with a 98mm turbo. Thats torque

 

[O-FiveCC]

Yeah that's good ole V8 torque. 4 cylinder boosted HP isn't as fun IMO.

 

[Toomnymods]

i dunno if that evo would be in the 12's with only 40-50 hp more than stock..

here is a link to a mainly stock evo 9..

add 40-50 hp and i see it doing 13.3's at most

 

[O-FiveCC]

OK, so thats why it was fast, but not surprising fast. I could have sworn they ran low 13's stock (13.2-13.3). OK, although he will beat me, now I want to race him LOL. He and his dad (the boss) said he wished I had brought my truck (I was in the van) to race. But I have to wait till I get tuned again with my old tune.

Took a ride with a guy in a '83 Malibu at Union Hill drag strip here in Tn...He has a 383 stroker and all kinda coolass mods in that old car!!!
Track is only a 1/8th mile and he is pulling 6.25...
That was some torque!!!

 

[O-FiveCC]

Shhhhhhh....Thats a fast 1/8th!! I bet you were pinned to the seat!

 

[BuckeyeTitan]

The only thing that matters is that you had fun no matter how fast it really was. I drove my friends 11 second Camaro for a bit and it was pretty cool. I never ran it on the track but I did some what felt like 0-60 or 70 runs on the street in front of his house though. I couldn't really tell how fast I was going though cause it isn't street legal and doesn't have a speedometer though. I've ridden in some 12 second stangs (one kenne bell supercharged with nitrous and another with a turbo) from the speed shop I live by and there is definitely a difference between a fast car in a straight line to a fast daily driver on the street though...lol

 

[bj2007]

i rode in a 500 hp truck that sucker runs 11's all motor. keeps me stuck in the seat lol

 

[RFFG]

4 cyl turbo cars are nothing to laugh at...plenty of my friend's imports whoop my notch a new @ss...

the stang does cause some head trauma sometimes, lol

and the AWD on the evo helps a lot to put that power down...

 

[O-FiveCC]

It was def fun! Thsoe little boosted 4 bangers can out run a lot of vehicles especially when modded, but they just don't fell the same a some raw heavy *** truck torque lol. I'm glad I got to rid in it though. I kow their one of the racing bad boys, those Evo's and STI's, so it was a good experience. I think the owner is more into off-roading in it though. I guess their are a bunch of off-road trails he takes it on

I "off roaded" my 04 sti, fun fun fun!

the fastest car i have ever ridden in was one of the old pony car mustangs. it started life as an svo but has since been gone through about 3 times and sports full race adjustable suspension, driveline, and a 351 crate, stroked and poked to 393. add to that the 100 shot of nos and the drivers lightening quick reflexes and shifting (5th degree black belt and instructor in taekwondo). it was like a tilt-a-whirl at full tilt. We only did a couple of pulls since we were on a public road, but we went from a slow roll to 100 faster then ive ever seen. keep in mind this is a full street legal daily driver with A/C and interior.

I went to the track one night on open track night and watched him lay down low 12's and a high 11. he stopped after that since he didnt want them to shut him down as the rules state anything lower then 11.49 requires a at least a roll bar.

he did however beat a roush mustang that was either supercharged or turboed. and a couple of other cars that were trailered in and only used for bracket races.

It Is, watch the video closely, look for the solid white stripe of smoke at the center of the rear tires. It makes so much power the dyno cannot keep up with the acceleration of the 15" wide rear tires.

 

[themaildude]

The fastest car I've been in is my buddies Subaru Imprenza WRX STI. I can't wait to take it to Bithlo, I'm sure he'll be in the 11 sec range with the mods he has.

 

[Dirtytitan]

holy sheet that GN is bad A$$. i love those cars

 

[Blownbayou]

WIsh I could give you a ride in my 12 sec ride..........TORQUE makes everything better!!!!
