Do you know what the difference is between the 9 and the 8? What do you think is the FASTEST EVO recorded? The 9 has an advantage because of Mivec. Obviously the 8 doesn't have Mivec so it's down by 30whp. 30whp which can be easily reattained doesn't make a car have top end power over another. They are both the same exact car dude.
As you mod both to the limit - they become equal. Mivec is no good after a certain amount of power requiring a standalone...
I agree that Mivec helps so much to a certain point but it makes a huge difference on stock cars, on the highway. Point in case races modded evo 8 while being stock put cars on it, races anthony lost by 1 1/2 - 2 cars.

and it depends on the mods to because otherwise they still can't do rolls, without cams or a race tune or meth.
Well course... but neither can the 9 without Mivec. That's not a valid point.
It is because I was stating the difference between the 9 and 8, and how 9's are better out the box, and still ahead of "modded" 8's pending on mods, but I see what you mean.

Its not bench racing it is proven.
I mean, how many EVOs with a good driver have you raced? You obviously could still beat Anthony when he was stock. Yet you say 9s have good top end power?
Yeah I could beat anthony and I would have beat any Evo 9 that was stock because I WASN'T stock anymore. Untill I got modded I was losing by 1 1/2 - 2 cars. Yet I still NEVER lost to an 8, roll or dig (fluke) lol.

You beat boosties by a car, I beat him by 2.
Is that what you heard? I was "walking" away from Boosties. There was no lengths and then a constant. And the second run, I came from behind and still walked passed him... but believe the rumors.
Well thats just what we heard but I won't argue since I don't have factual evidence, and now there is no way to tell since you have more mods.

Although with your race tune and meth I think you will beat me.
Of course.. I don't stay with the same mods for very long..You'd need a bigger turbo at this point - and I'm still on stock cams, intercooler, intake and turbo..
There I agree, I do have a S3 in my trunk but I don't know if I am keeping it, it would be a nice race.

13.01 in a modded Evo doesn't impress me, I'm hoping for mid 13's on street tires.
Ok. See if you can find another 8 with just TBE and headers do that time at Cali Speedway. Better yet, find an SRT4 with TBE and headers do that..

SRT-4 with 50$ in mods running 13.6 and another running 13.4 with maybe 100$ dollars in mods. So I don't see it being that big of a deal.
Bottom line, I won't shit on your parade, you have a fast 8, and and fast car in general and more so compared to mine. Not trying to fight, so keep it a friendly debate.
