well guys,..I got it aligned(took 5 places and put some serious miles on it...and man,.It has settled Great!!! PERFECT DROP!!! I must say---Nismo kit is finnaly here so the front and wing will be on next week and sides will be here in 5-6days!!
DAMN I CAN"T WAIT
But I'm still out of town--so pic's of my ride w/ 2 EVO VIII's(red&Blk)--and was driving them--OH MY GOD---they are insanely fast!! I really want one but I'llgive the Z a try to see what the ECU mods will do to it!!
But man,.the LANCER is the shizzle!! I could care less about looks(interior),.I love it,..but still everyone that I know says its fast and all but the Z is a tottaly different car and its the "Pu*sy getter"---I agree--I get more girls on my ride then that Lancer will anyday!! But its blisteringly fast!
I was rippin it up down the road and its a MKIV Killer for sure!
More High res pic's to come!
as well as the NISMO kit on!!!

Looks good Mr Fairlady... The more cars I see with Eibach Pro Kit the more it makes me want to forget about buying coilovers and just buy the Pro Kit. Glad to hear the alinment went well. Godd luck with them.
thanks,
Greg

Btw, after checking out the issue I picked up at the newsstands, it should be called subaru street, not super street. Mostly every featured car was a WRX...

yeah I just picked up super street because I was bored. It's the first time i've ever bought it. After careful review, I came the to the conclusion that it's equivalent to a pile of ****.
IMO, a few tenths of a second are actually important! ALso, I never heard of a US spec stock EVO VIII doing the 1/4mile in 13.4...
Hey I wonder what AWD and a turbo would do to our cars? heheh
I just looked at the magazine again. IN their little summary column at the end of the article on the evo, it's says "Scale Tipping: 4,222 lbs.
They're idiots

Thread ran a little off topic here... but i'll squeeze this in real quick..
anyone know 5-60 on the EVO? A roll should rule out any AWD traction advantages and i'm curious how its brute power compares to the Z.

yes the Z's I've seen running the BEst time are the Base models--both I've seen are 13.8's & 13.7's---Evo's are 13.5's@ my ghetto track in Fayetteville so there are no doubts of 13.2's and the like--HKS exhaust will yeild 12's I'm sure--After driving them--1st gear pulls like a son-of-a-*****--2nd is really quick-almost too quick--and 4th is full boost so you tap the gas and its gone!!!! 4ths is the ****!! And just like any turbo'd DSM--hearing it take off down the road-it sounds like its ripping throught the asphalt and curling the concrete behind it as it goes--GSX's sound the same way!Sounds like an open wastegate on a MKIV but the EVo's are stock!
They are badass guys despite the things some people think!
But thats ok eveyone I know says the Z is far more "Pimp" lookin and around where I'm @ right now-they think its a Lamorgini(pretty much)--all the women and man are all over it--Mainly becasue of the Bling,blingin VOLKIES--cuz let alone have they ever seen a New Z- but one w/ wheels just blows em away!
I'll be back home soon to post some pic's of the lovely EVO's and the PIMP DADDY Z--although the damn Pollen is a ***** right now!! Hard to keep her blingin!
Thanx guys!!

well good point, yes and no...we have a viscous LSD which absorbs some power (ie not mechanical), It will get you better traction off the line in theory, but that is offset by the loss in power to the wheels via the viscous LSD. IMO if you can manage to hook up ok off the line in a base, you would be faster than a Z with the LSD. There are aftermarket mechanical LSD's you can buy that don't absorb power, but they wont feel as smooth as a viscous setup.

So you're saying in any two identical cars, that the car without the LSD will be faster off the line IF it can hook up with the pavement in the same amount of time as the car with the LSD. With an LSD, you may be losing power, but you will hook up with the pavement faster. That's the only reason it will improve a launch/1/4 mile time, because technically it absorbs power....
right?
