Damn...word travels fast! Yes, that was my car. My buddy has that Evo....runs a 12.5 on at the track.
Ok, here is the play by play. (excuses):
The first race, he staged up behind me, and didnt know that, and the flagger suddenly dropped his arms. So I didnt even race.
The second race, I burned my clutch so badly in 1st gear, that when I went to shift into 2nd gear, the clutch was still on the floor!!! So I aborted that one as well. I honestly thought I broke my clutch and would have to tow her home. (
After we let the clutch cool down for 15 mins, we did another race from a 1st gear rolll...and I pulled all the way.
New twin disc carbon ATS is going in with the engine rebuild.
I am sure we'll be doing more races in the future.
I am also practicing my drifting skills....we'll be making some kick *** videos of that shorlty.

Oh, also, this "track" was only 1/8 mile long.

LOL...I hear ya Charles! On the second race, he jumped a good 3 cars before I knew what hit me. It is also very nerve racking to see him jump the line so hard...it makes you burn the clutch and spin tires even more. I will stick with the rolls for now.

He runs a 12.5 on the track.
This is going to sound a little mean but.....really you spent how much to get your doors blown off by a EVO!!!! I feel for you get the clutch fixed and the driving skills up and eat that mother up....Put some smaller rims and some Drag Radials on the ***** and beat him.....No need for AWD just better driving!!!!
yeah.. but at the end of the day, it is still a suped up Lancer. I'd much rather be seen in GQs 350Z than an EVO.
Was the EVO on drag radials? My guess is Sharif was running on street rubber. I was there the day he ran the 12.8sec 1/4 on street rubber and that was on a slick track. I'm sure with better traction his car would eat that same EVO alive, let alone with the comp clutch.

Yup..>Street tires and 19's and stock clutch is no match for a modded Evo on a 1/8 mile "track". We'll rematch shortly...with proper rubber and a good clutch.
