My supposed slow Evo has out-accelerated more than one Vette from 1st-4th gear. The power and torque on the Vette really come into play above that, and I will be the first to admit that, but no street racing stories here.

I personally like the typical "American thinking" going on in this thread. I know it is hard to comprehend a 4 cylinder sedan outperforming a big v8 "supercar"





Did you read a single thing sigma wrote?! American thinking...right. When did you start turning japanese?!

You really haven't grown into the car you have purchased, or well you are just a ricer with a faster car now. Your posts about racing are based on your personal experiences and nothing outside of that. IMHO...you are the one thinking like a typical AMERICAN!

And my slow contour has kept up with some pretty fast cars and it dyno'd poopy!

All this coming from the one who at EVERY opportunity bashed DSMs.

I am the ricer? I don't drive around a hackjob like your car, so give me a break.

I base all of my conclusions on real life....not what someone says online, a magazine, etc. Like I said before talk is cheap.
