should I?
 
my friends bro has a 2004 evo 8(or whatever there on now) and he wants to race me, he says he runs like a 14.2. i think i can beat that but i thougth those cars where faster. idk if i should or not

imported_Sincere 02-17-2005 09:29 PM

You can only find out how fast it is one way...

Just do it..There's no shame in losing, as long as you use it as inspiration to mod more! :D

69z-28 02-17-2005 09:31 PM

well he's modding moer even if he beats him by 10 car lengths.lol

SLPowerZ 02-17-2005 10:47 PM

do it...i thought they ran better than that too but whatever...like sincere said, no shame in losing, if u do.

1BADVETTE 02-17-2005 10:52 PM

race him from a roll, from a dig, you'll get stomped, i highly doubt that car runs 14's.

Mike Jones 02-17-2005 10:57 PM

14.2?! I'll race him

camaro94 02-17-2005 11:30 PM

Go ahead. Never hurts to try. And if you lose, when you make your car better, race him again and whip him. lol.

Only one way to tell..... LINE EM UP!

Race him from a stop and borrow somebodys drag radials. Donno this nonsence about racing from a roll when you have more torque. Least i think u do what the hells an evo lol. Racing from a rolls not racing anywayz.

69z-28 02-18-2005 08:08 AM

if he has drag radials wont he have to warm em up first?lol, his transmission is baout right where it cant take any more abuse with the motor, so i dont think he will want to launch the car, id say from like a 20 mph start.

I agree. Isn't that where the term ricer fly by came from?

97z2801ss 02-18-2005 12:18 PM

"dude man ill race u from a roll"

JesasaurusRex 02-18-2005 02:33 PM

hey i do that all the time...lol

Z's may have more torque, but that also means less traction if your not runnin some descent rubbers. Those evos can launch at like redline w/ little if any tire spin.

SOMBirdV6 02-19-2005 12:57 AM

racing from a roll isnt really racing. A dead stop start is a real race, in that case the evo would probably jump on you due to AWD. But in the long run shuld be intresting.

I remember telling somebody to borrow some drag radials :banghead:

niceroc 02-19-2005 12:39 PM

idk if im going to race him anytime soon because i got a bent axle i have both nw axles sitting in my garage but i need the tool to pull the bearing out of the housing :(

97z2801ss 02-19-2005 08:17 PM

ouch, well like some1 said before there aint no shame in loosing, because some1 will always have a fster car.

i know...i heard ya

SLPowerZ 02-21-2005 07:54 PM

how often do you switch tires before you run against someone, thats like sayin hold on i'll even this out by borrowing somones nitrous etc....run what you brung

What do u mean how often, if its a daily driver that makes perfect sence. Street tires when ur driven around. If you know ur gonna race throw on the stickys. Y cant u borrow somebodys nitrous? Run what you brung...exactly my point.

SLPowerZ 02-22-2005 03:50 PM

ok i'll give ya that one but not worth arguing about anymore...i just hope he decides to race him regardless of how it goes down cause i would like to hear the outcome

niceroc 02-23-2005 09:04 PM

the axle was bent when i got the rear end... stupid swap meets

Be prepared to play catch up cause his awd launch is guaranteed to be better than yours.
