EVOs in a drag race? You might as well drop the car dub style and slap some neon lights under it... Yes, drag races requires a certain set of skills, but with a 2.0L (or 2.3L modded) 4 cylinder 4G63 engine? There are WAY better platforms our there for drag...
None the less, props to the owners on the video doing 10s~ Just .2 cents from an EVO IX guy~
you all do realize the z06 is not just a drag car right? it's actually a very fast car on road courses as well. It's considered the best deal for a super car. It is more than a regular sports car.
@intj123 Vette about ready to crash...? What in the hell are you talking about?
I think it should be fair for rear drive only cars to run street slicks if running awd cars, otherwise pointless for launching. Even still, this Z06 had nearly 10mph higher trap speed and tripped lights first... we all know which car is much faster here, it ain't the EVO.
Yup, Vette won even with the higher 1/4 mile time....look at that trap speed..that is pretty fast for a standard C6. Imagine what a Z06 could do. BTW, I love evos..this one needs a little more top end.
Evo IX MR rockz!!! ... Before the EVO X and EVO IX runned I knew that the Evo IX would Win!!! ... yeahh! ... when I finish studying engineering the firs thing I will do is buy an EVO IX MR FQ-400 or FQ-360.... :D
as much as i love Evo X. i honestly like evo 9 and Vii best because it looks more like a tuner. also the evo x now people use as family cars and dont understand its for racing. you hardly see evo 9s with random old people driving it
amazing what a jump you will get with all wheel drive. Saw even with about a 3 car jump that Z06 about had him at the end. That Evo 9 is far from stock running in the 11's
this is dumb. evos were not made for drag. they are rally cars for crying out loud. drag racing is for those who have really powerful cars but don't have much skill (pseudoracers). rally is for pros.
@azimangoez so true but in the quater mile they do make for awesome drag cars with there AWD systems allowing them to handle a lot of power at the wheels
@azimangoez They are production cars made for the street, not for any type of racing. No production car can handle a rally. Now I feel dumb for commenting on a dumb comment
ahaha another pseudoracer. then i guess the WRC is a joke because all cars in the WRC are rally cars based on production cars which make them in essence production cars. you go einstein
@azimangoez Oh are we talking about million dollar modified racers and comparing them with the stock production models. Who cares what the cars are used for, but i can tell you what they're made for
yeah and i can tell you the evo was made to be the platform for mitsubishi's rally car. that's why the evo x was even made before they came out with the lancer when traditionally the lancer was the platform for the evo.
uhh must be ill informed. I hope you know pretty much a lot of racing cars are based from their original stock design which is the street model. For pro racing they just mod the stock into a racer.
Hence one of the reason why Subaru's WRC car is called WRX STI (just modded for rally) and it is the exact same model that street one has.
Launching, at the beginning would be somewhat redundant, since it is usually assumed when you launch, it is the beginning of a race. Unless its out of a hairpin, but that shouldn't be a dead stop anyways.
No, I am not sure what my argument or point was, I can't find what I was replying to.
saying that drag racing is for really powerful cars but dont have much skill is the most un-educated comment ever you twat. keeping control of a big powered car and getting a good time on a drag strip is very difficult and demands huge amounts of skill... but you would know this ofcourse coz u iz da pro!! keep playing need for speed fella
yeah and another pseudo racer sour graping. need for speed? i don't even like racing games. stick to your silly games and keep watching fast and furious. who knows you might be the next schumi haha.
haha im not sour graping at all, i cant stand people who make daft uneducated comments, you have just made yourself look silly again. i didnt say at any point in my last reply i play computer games so 10 out of 10 to you for understanding english too! lol your doing well! iv owned a few fast cars over the years and have been passenger in many too. drag racing with a stock/lightly tuned car might be pretty straight forward but keeping control of 5/6/700+ hp is hardwork, dont be naive
well duh? you insinuated i played need for speed and when i retort that you should stick to your stupid video games you say this instead. wow how intelligent of you. stick to your drag racing pseudoracer. i made myself look silly? haha how about you behind the wheel, trying to be cool and shit and then Drag Racing! haha now that's silly. go to a circuit boy.
hah, once again you mess up. your getting pretty touchy about the whole computer game thing. i didnt say you PLAYED all i said was carry on playing need for speed in a joking way because a comment like your 1st reply saying drag racing is for people who have powerful cars and no skill is a joke! and clearly you have never properly done it, and if you have, its been in a buckled old honda or something! funny you mention circuit, thats exactly what i do in my purpose built track rx7!
never properly done it? i used to drag when i was in high school then in college i turned to circuit racing because a friend of mine who is a pro racer and was racing in asian formula 3 introduced me to it. so i know for a fact the type of skill set needed for circuit and for drag. by the way the car i used for drag was a lancer with a 4g63 from an eclipse. yeah it wasn't much but i was only16 or 17 that time. so drag queen, YOU SHOULD KNOW since you said you also do circuit
@azimangoez you can't say that, because honestly a drag racer any real drag racer can just argue the opposite, both take massive amounts of skill in their own setting, Drag racing is timing rallying is handling Both are difficult if you are doing it professionally.
@azimangoez Tell you what, hunt down a decent car running in the Outlaw DR class. Say around 3000lbs, 1400hp turbocharged LSX, full 25.2 cert, running high to mid 7's at above 180mph. If you can convince the owner to let you drive it AND the track officials to let you line it up on their strip (you need a license) AND can manage to make a full throttle pass, on video, WITHOUT killing yourself or the car in the process, THEN you have grounds to say such a thing. 4G63 Lancer swaps DO NOT count!
needless to say that's quite impossible. however, since you've already challenged me, why don't you find a novice circuit racer, have him drive a drag car for about 3 hours then compare your time with his. then drive around a circuit the whole day then compare your times the day following. hell you could practice the whole week if you want haha. and remember, brake before turning, down shift + heel-toe, avoid powerslides/drifting since most drivers think that'll improve lap times
@azimangoez With a good instructor and an apt pupil both will progress, likely at an equal rate. The basic skills required to SUCCESSFULLY drive a road car and a drag car can be taught in an afternoon. Mastering can take a lifetime. The essence of drag racing AND road racing is to find the fastest line through a given course and navigate it as quickly as possible. Drag racing's object is to PREVENT the car from turning, road racing's is to ASSIST it. Neither are simple as they first appear.
stock theyre the same no one catagory excels enough to call it better. tuning wise, no, not yet at least because the x's capabilities still havent been fully explored while the cta9 chassis evos (7, 8, 9) has been.
@kbarrett93 Chassis yes, engine yes, Overall the evo X is way better but the only reason its doubted sooooo much is because its heavy, by like 3-500 pounds from the evo 8-9's. 4G63 engine is still powerfull but the 4B11 is just a nother league
if you want all power with mininal mods get an evo 9. if you want more luxury and a not as fast stock car, get an x. the x's respond very nicely to tunes though. socal evo got an evox stock +74hp with just a simple tune
As much as I love muscle cars, i must admit that jap. imports can wreak haboc amongst Us cars on dragstrip. Face it, AWD with top line electronic and mechanic pose big threat to low tech high power muscle cars. As it goes for evo X: I'd prefer older one (evo X MR FQ 400) due to the fact that its much lighter and not so "pipmed" (who te fuck need 20" speakers adn that stuff?). With some mods it can be quickly on top of drag list (ofcourse if the driver is skilled enough to drive it).
i personally think the EVO X is an embarrassment and totally takes away from the essence of what an EVO used to be. give me an EVO 9 any day over an X.
I absolutely love evos and I'll have mine as soon as I find the best priced 2010 white GSR, but a stock evo, or even one like that cannot beat a corvette z06 on a regular basis, it has 505 brutal horsepower and the 2010s are said to go to 60 in 3.7 O.o. Only through skill and the awd launch can it have chances. But the Fq-400 can wreck some bitches :D
No, more proof that there's no replacement for superior traction and launch. It's called AWD. Notice the difference in the 60' times and then the difference in ET's. The vette did reel the Evo in quite a bit, proving superior horsepower. Give the guy some drag radials and a few lessons in how to launch properly and this would end very differently. But then it would just be the 'well it's an $80K car vs a $40K car' argument. In the end, the Z06 couldn't win, even if it won the race.
@intj123 The Z hardly flinched after launch, I have no idea where you're getting "ready to crash" from. That aside, I agree that the Evo does launch clean, straight, and like a bullet out of a gun. AWD hard at work...
We got a professional driver here ^^^. Maybe you've never driven something thatt fast to know but when there is that much power going to two wheels it is extremely difficult to keep the right balance on the throttle to minimize wheel spin.
Rear wheel drive is the best drag setup (rear engine is technically the best with RWD). AWD is the easiest to launch yes, but maintaining 6krpm and dumping the clutch is NOT skill. And even if it is "hard" to launch, maybe this guy should know his car a little better...
stock for stocka newer evo x gsr should beat an evo ix (ix is the fastest of the older ones) 0-70 but the evo ix is lighter and beats the X by about .2 on avg in the 1/4. reason being the evo X has a much much better drivetrain and theres less hp loss from the awd.
This video is gay... these cars weren't built to drag race... the were built for rally racing and touge racing... its a shame these evo drivers are on the muscle car track! true driving is not found at a drag strip! its sad really!
Evo owners got to the drag strip to TEST their performance. They don't go there everytime. I've had my Evo for 2years, and I've only taken it to the drag stip once, and I go to the track, canyons, autox more. I only went to the Drag strip cause I wanted to test if my cars time..
VVT-i boosting output to 210 hp (157 kW) and 220 lb·ft (298 N·m) torque. Is it something I can be proud of?? Any good? I do not anything about cars... but I like fast cars and nice cars such as these on the video.
Mitsubishi themselves stated that with the 7, 8, & 9's they just wanted to see how fast they could make them go. But with the x, they had a different game plan. The goal for the x was a more green engine with much better handling and more mature car. Now us tuners have made them faster then nines!
Actually that's what I said in my quote above. Everyone knows that the 9 is faster and lighter then the 10 from stock fool, I didn't say otherwise, I'm talking about how with work x's are just as fast now. And x's handle better, that's a fact!
That Evo/Vette race was one hell of a race. The Vette won cause he crossed the line first and is why his time lights up before the Evo time. At first I was a little confused but seeing the difference in the mph's of each car its easy to see what happened. Vette had better reaction time but traction problems out of the hole. I'd love to see a best of 3 on those 2 cars. The Grey EVO IX is a beast I just knew it was going to win.
The Evo's elapsed time was quicker than the Vettes, meaning that from the time the Evo left until the time the Evo crossed to the line, it was faster. However, that is not including reaction time. This is why the Vette's clock lit up before the Evo's, it was quicker out of the gate. Had the Evo left at the exact same time as the Vette, the Evo would have one. Hope this brings some clarity to the typical arguments.
Clearly wasnt a Z06 as stated in other vid. No hood intake, fender flares or badging....just a regular C6 with Z06 wheels. And yes the Evo ran a faster time but he lost the race. The Vette crossed the line first and thats all that matters in drag racing. The board lit up for the Vette and anyone that doesn't realize that doesn't know shit about drag racing.
lancer's 12.6s vs vette's 12.7s.... holy shit, how can you run a faster time and lose the race??... what are you talking about man! hahaha hell i dont even like drag racing but who ever doesnt realize that less time regardless of your speed means you crossed the line first doesnt know shit about drag racing & doesnt know shit about anything. thats just basic logic! i would expect a 4yr old to understand at least that much
theres no n at the end of my name before the 5 lol. twice now. and if the z06 was in this video you could say what ever you want about it, but its not, so you obviously mean the C6 is gay. fair enough am i rite? have a nice day g-unit :P
if you pause the video at 1:55 you can clearly see that there is no hood scoop in the vette, its a base c6 with the z06 rim option. and the 12.7 it ran is consistant to that of a base ls2 corvette
much like your brain cells as it would seem, because not only is it not a z06 as you can clearly see at the time i specified, it also got the win light, so go smoke more weed or w/e it is that you do because it clearly helps your judgment. also the word is "the" not "da". take care g-unit!!!
Well it depends on how you look at it, yes the vette did achieve a higher speed before the end of the quarter mile which means it was gaining on the evo. in terms of highest speed achieved in the quarter mile the vette won, but in terms of crossing the finish line first, which is usually the decision maker in a drag race, the evo crossed first so it won the race. So you cant really have a slower time and still win in a drag race, but you can say you were technically faster than the other guy
it may look that way, but it couldn't have because its time was longer so it crossed the line second. I mean i do believe that the corvette with a professional driver vs the evo with a professional driver would have been different. i hate the corvette and the new evo is better than the old one to me, but i know that the vette should have won, but hey its not always about the car its the driver too, the car just helps.
Wow I thought it was going to be a real race. Drag racing proves nothing. If you want to find out the outcome of a drag race, then go to the internet and look the specs up.
both evo n vettes are a marvel of their own kind..why flame each other, dammits..? some just love straights, while some loves corners and drifts..each has their own power..
btw, EVO is 1 great car, having huge power from a small 2L engine, and controls corners easily..at least, u won't waste fuel and save the earth..=)
Yea the evo x GSR is more powerful than people think. A manual boost controller, exhaust and cold air intake will add over 60 whp as demonstrated by import tuner's dyno test. This new engine has potential. The only problem is that its an aluminum block so you can't push for hp like the iron block 4G63 engine which is still the most powerful and engine in my opinion. But the evo X has lots of potential.
yes it does have more hp stock, but nobody said a word about that, he was talking about big hp numbers, like 1.100+ hp wich i dont think the aluminum block will be able to hold.
you people arguing about whats better american or import are ridiculous. power is power speed is speed. who cares if imports use big turbos instead of big engines it doesnt matter how you get the power all that matters is who crosses the finish line first. any import fan that doesnt respect the power of a muscle car is an idiot and any muscle lover that doesnt respect the performance of an import especially one that out did a muscle car is also stupid.there are well built cars on both sides .
at the end right around(2:16) when they show a close up view of the 4b11 i notice the headlamp, doesn't it suppose to be projection headlamps? i mean correct me if im wrong...
The GSR does not have HID lights, that is for the MR trim. I do no believe that there is an HID option for the GSR but is standard equipment on the MR.
Not always! Pause the video at 2:12 you will see clearly that the lights on in the right lane, thus giving the Z06 the win. The Evo "is" very fast but because its trap time was significantly lower, the Z06 won! In other word because the Evo had better traction it got down the track with a better time but the Z06 had less traction, but because of more power it made up what its lacking, time from its speed or (trap time). It better'd the Evo by 8 almost 9 sec thus allowing it to catch up and win!
The win goes to the one who crossed the finish line first. Hell your time dont start till you cross the first laser. At the track i have seen cars slower time
A real Z06 driver gets at least a 12. People that can drive get 11.1s and 11.2s in Z06s

The essence of drag racing AND road racing is to find the fastest line through a given course and navigate it as quickly as possible. Drag racing's object is to PREVENT the car from turning, road racing's is to ASSIST it. Neither are simple as they first appear.

okay i need a DEAD SERIOUS answer, Is the evo x better than the evo 9?
kbarrett93 2 years ago
stock theyre the same no one catagory excels enough to call it better. tuning wise, no, not yet at least because the x's capabilities still havent been fully explored while the cta9 chassis evos (7, 8, 9) has been.

NEW EVO IS WAY BETTER!!!
ShevardnadzeII 2 years ago
@kbarrett93 Chassis yes, engine yes, Overall the evo X is way better but the only reason its doubted sooooo much is because its heavy, by like 3-500 pounds from the evo 8-9's. 4G63 engine is still powerfull but the 4B11 is just a nother league

if you want all power with mininal mods get an evo 9. if you want more luxury and a not as fast stock car, get an x. the x's respond very nicely to tunes though. socal evo got an evox stock +74hp with just a simple tune

As much as I love muscle cars, i must admit that jap. imports can wreak haboc amongst Us cars on dragstrip. Face it, AWD with top line electronic and mechanic pose big threat to low tech high power muscle cars. As it goes for evo X: I'd prefer older one (evo X MR FQ 400) due to the fact that its much lighter and not so "pipmed" (who te fuck need 20" speakers adn that stuff?). With some mods it can be quickly on top of drag list (ofcourse if the driver is skilled enough to drive it).

i personally think the EVO X is an embarrassment and totally takes away from the essence of what an EVO used to be. give me an EVO 9 any day over an X.

I absolutely love evos and I'll have mine as soon as I find the best priced 2010 white GSR, but a stock evo, or even one like that cannot beat a corvette z06 on a regular basis, it has 505 brutal horsepower and the 2010s are said to go to 60 in 3.7 O.o. Only through skill and the awd launch can it have chances. But the Fq-400 can wreck some bitches :D

PLEZN 2 years ago 2
No, more proof that there's no replacement for superior traction and launch. It's called AWD. Notice the difference in the 60' times and then the difference in ET's. The vette did reel the Evo in quite a bit, proving superior horsepower. Give the guy some drag radials and a few lessons in how to launch properly and this would end very differently. But then it would just be the 'well it's an $80K car vs a $40K car' argument. In the end, the Z06 couldn't win, even if it won the race.

@Rote70SS the ZO6 looked about ready to crash. That evo 10 launches clean and straight and fast everytime, I'm impressed, I only got an evo 8.

@intj123 The Z hardly flinched after launch, I have no idea where you're getting "ready to crash" from. That aside, I agree that the Evo does launch clean, straight, and like a bullet out of a gun. AWD hard at work...

We got a professional driver here ^^^. Maybe you've never driven something thatt fast to know but when there is that much power going to two wheels it is extremely difficult to keep the right balance on the throttle to minimize wheel spin.
Jewtuberr 2 years ago
Rear wheel drive is the best drag setup (rear engine is technically the best with RWD). AWD is the easiest to launch yes, but maintaining 6krpm and dumping the clutch is NOT skill. And even if it is "hard" to launch, maybe this guy should know his car a little better...
bubbyj 2 years ago 2
stock for stocka newer evo x gsr should beat an evo ix (ix is the fastest of the older ones) 0-70 but the evo ix is lighter and beats the X by about .2 on avg in the 1/4. reason being the evo X has a much much better drivetrain and theres less hp loss from the awd.

Evo owners got to the drag strip to TEST their performance. They don't go there everytime. I've had my Evo for 2years, and I've only taken it to the drag stip once, and I go to the track, canyons, autox more. I only went to the Drag strip cause I wanted to test if my cars time..

lancemarion 2 years ago
Mitsubishi themselves stated that with the 7, 8, & 9's they just wanted to see how fast they could make them go. But with the x, they had a different game plan. The goal for the x was a more green engine with much better handling and more mature car. Now us tuners have made them faster then nines!

That Evo/Vette race was one hell of a race. The Vette won cause he crossed the line first and is why his time lights up before the Evo time. At first I was a little confused but seeing the difference in the mph's of each car its easy to see what happened. Vette had better reaction time but traction problems out of the hole. I'd love to see a best of 3 on those 2 cars. The Grey EVO IX is a beast I just knew it was going to win.

PeterLikesAsianGirl 2 years ago
The Evo's elapsed time was quicker than the Vettes, meaning that from the time the Evo left until the time the Evo crossed to the line, it was faster. However, that is not including reaction time. This is why the Vette's clock lit up before the Evo's, it was quicker out of the gate. Had the Evo left at the exact same time as the Vette, the Evo would have one. Hope this brings some clarity to the typical arguments.

Clearly wasnt a Z06 as stated in other vid. No hood intake, fender flares or badging....just a regular C6 with Z06 wheels. And yes the Evo ran a faster time but he lost the race. The Vette crossed the line first and thats all that matters in drag racing. The board lit up for the Vette and anyone that doesn't realize that doesn't know shit about drag racing.
TyNewton1977 2 years ago
lancer's 12.6s vs vette's 12.7s.... holy shit, how can you run a faster time and lose the race??... what are you talking about man! hahaha hell i dont even like drag racing but who ever doesnt realize that less time regardless of your speed means you crossed the line first doesnt know shit about drag racing & doesnt know shit about anything. thats just basic logic! i would expect a 4yr old to understand at least that much

cvinc17 2 years ago
you can have a slower time and still win. evo had a better reaction time but the vette caught back up
jbeasley702 2 years ago
Well it depends on how you look at it, yes the vette did achieve a higher speed before the end of the quarter mile which means it was gaining on the evo. in terms of highest speed achieved in the quarter mile the vette won, but in terms of crossing the finish line first, which is usually the decision maker in a drag race, the evo crossed first so it won the race. So you cant really have a slower time and still win in a drag race, but you can say you were technically faster than the other guy
cvinc17 2 years ago
it looks like the vette crossed the line first
jbeasley702 2 years ago
it may look that way, but it couldn't have because its time was longer so it crossed the line second. I mean i do believe that the corvette with a professional driver vs the evo with a professional driver would have been different. i hate the corvette and the new evo is better than the old one to me, but i know that the vette should have won, but hey its not always about the car its the driver too, the car just helps.

Yea the evo x GSR is more powerful than people think. A manual boost controller, exhaust and cold air intake will add over 60 whp as demonstrated by import tuner's dyno test. This new engine has potential. The only problem is that its an aluminum block so you can't push for hp like the iron block 4G63 engine which is still the most powerful and engine in my opinion. But the evo X has lots of potential.

you people arguing about whats better american or import are ridiculous. power is power speed is speed. who cares if imports use big turbos instead of big engines it doesnt matter how you get the power all that matters is who crosses the finish line first. any import fan that doesnt respect the power of a muscle car is an idiot and any muscle lover that doesnt respect the performance of an import especially one that out did a muscle car is also stupid.there are well built cars on both sides .

who got to the finish line faster? EVO....... Who would have won in a longer "street race"?.......... Vette.
116John316 2 years ago
Not always! Pause the video at 2:12 you will see clearly that the lights on in the right lane, thus giving the Z06 the win. The Evo "is" very fast but because its trap time was significantly lower, the Z06 won! In other word because the Evo had better traction it got down the track with a better time but the Z06 had less traction, but because of more power it made up what its lacking, time from its speed or (trap time). It better'd the Evo by 8 almost 9 sec thus allowing it to catch up and win!
Smthkd 2 years ago
True but look at the at the trap time! The Z06 ran a 12.74 @ "117.63mph over the EVo X's 12.60 @ "109.05 so clearly the Z06 won this one hands down.
