1/2 mile race between a C5 Vette & Evo
- Thread starter SillyCobra
- Start date
I saw some smoke from the vette's tires which looked like way too much smoke to call your self racing. Even if you spin a little you dont have a cloud that big. Were the cars modded. I dont believe the vette was racing at all.
You would have to have the reaction time of a dead person to get left by that much in a half mile.

yeah that was a terrible launch by the vette driver
Yeah, and the "bolt on Evo vs Bolt on c5" could mean just about anything. The vette might just have an upgraded CAI while the Mitsu has that plus ECU and a better downpipe. Definate ownage for sure though.
wow that was horrible
LOL the flag guy ran all the way off the road before the vette left the line:sleeping: , he probably could have run in front of the vette to exit and done so safely.
In fact he could have put at least 1.5 to 2 carlenghts on the vette running.:lol:

AWD owns and all but it shouldn't own that much. I have a hard feeling the driver of the vette was competent.
It was a 1/2 mile race for money. After the race the owner of the C5 said he was on it the entire time but was "fishtailing" a lot off the line. He was on regular street tires and launched it at 4,000rpms. :shrug:
Evo has most of the bolt ons including a flash, intake, exhaust cutout, cams, etc. Still has a stock turbo and runs on pump gas without alcohol injection.
The owner of the C5 had at least an intake and exhaust.
That's about all the info I have for ya guys. They wanted to do it double for nothing from a roll this time but we had problems getting it off due to the 5.0's.

He launched it way too hard and then stayed in it as it spun. Oh well.bluestreak89 said:
im not makin excuses for the vette but that guy should get some tire... who races for cash on DailyDriver tires? 4k rpm clutch dumps dont win races with his setup 
He was definitely racing. Afterwards people asked why he didn't wanna do a burnout to heat up his tires and he just shrugged.fastkars.com said:
The Evo has lost a handful of races in the last year including one to a Z06 and another to a Talon. Do a search on my username and you should be able to find them. I post most of the vids on this site.
Shit happens I guess. I have witnessed otherwise though. My g/f's bro has ( well had before he totalled it) an evo with full exhaust, IC, HKS 272 cams, etc... stock turbo no meth tuned by Turbotrix in NJ. Put down 321awhp and 300 tq or s0. My car dynoed 317/330 stock. All it had when I raced him was a lid and catback. From a 70 roll I pulled half a car right off the bat and held it until mid top of 5th where I began to pull more. If that vette has any mods at all I dont know how he could not catch him in a 1/2 mile race. I am only speaking from firsthand experience but anything can happen on the street obviously. :shrug:

Thats weak for those mods.......bigtime. I have all that MINUS an aftermarket IC while using only 264 I/E camshafts, and I ran the time in my sig in the summer. I should beat that by a large margin this winter and I expect my trap increase a large amount as well due to the horrible way my stock IC handles this Alabama heat.

, I said the same thing before..For this very reason too...It's funny these cars are both considered "bolt-on cars" in the video even though the EVO has 3X as many mods and is gutted. It's all for bragging rights.Users who are viewing this thread
