Nice organized site, you guys have a huge group of local enthusiasts from the looks of it and that is amazing. By all accounts i have heard, the Evo is a fun little car and a great blend for the street. Personally, i have never been in one but am eager to see what its about.


Do any of you drag race your Evos, i only managed to find road racing related stuff, which is understandable.

:), drag racing sounds good you know...i try to limit myself speeding on the hwy's....but i never took my car to a drag strip...i dont think my car is fast enough to be on a drag strip, but if it was for free id try :)

Come now, who races for free :wink:

I ask because i always see a few Evos at the street races in the valley. Never seen one at the local qtr mile tracks yet however but i am familar with what some of the east coast guys run in them. I'm sure this board has a few drag racers.

We have been to California Speedway for the Street Legal Drags. Have you been there F1? What kinds of times have you posted?

thats the only bad issue with this type of cars , that there are not able to hold on drag racing . Unless you upgrade to clutch and also take a chance on the tranny going out .
I use to drag and use to go to pamdale ( i know the track sucks but its great to practice your reaction time and 60ft times )

This guy is spreadding lies about the EVO and is ignorant to the AWD drag scene.

I own both a mustang and an evo.

AWD is very famous in drag. Ask Buschar Racing.

However AWD is better for twisties. If you are a daily driver the evo will do fine in drag. People are running 11's with a small amount of money.

To simplify things AWD is better off the line and RWD is better from a roll.

Awd is not as good for draging if you look at 90% of drag cars they are either fwd and mostly RWD, just because one person drags an awd car dosent make it good, thats level one thinking. Yes obviously AWD is faster off the launch but after that rwd is better. Not to mention that the best drag cars have a solid rear axle. And if your going to argue that a evo is a better drag car then a cobra your wrong.

RWD is better for a race car. For pulling in off the street and running fast and driving home, AWD owns all. I just ran 7.960@89 on 91 octane, full weight tonight! 1/8 mile track obviously
