Heres a car

patrickl:
No way, THIS is a car

Havok:
I have a seriously upgraded Trans Am... suspension, brake and engine mods...

  ;)

And yes, it was an Evo, and yes he was trying. Cute sound those little turbos make - but still a lawn mower engine. Don't get me wrong - I didn't leave him in the dust, but I beat him, albeit barely, but did suprise the crap out of him...

I had an Audi TT. Not really a fast car by todays standards, but even in that I never had any problems with the muscle cars I came up against.

You can sneeze on a V8 and give it tons of power.  There isn't really anything impressive about it from a tech stand point.  It's a big honkin' motor.  Cams, carb and exhaust and you are probably up 100hp.  You can't really beat the feeling of that rush of torque though.

143hp per liter in a stock EVO is impressive as hell.  It will spank 99% of everything on the road not only in a straight line but around the turns too.  The fact that it stops on a dime essentially gives it more horsepower as well(you can carry your speed later into a turn). Lay off the power and you'll see around 25mpg too.  How's the mileage on your T/A? Under 10mpg at full throttle?  I bet that's fun at $3.50 a gallon.

Havok:
$2.93 a gallon here, and yeah the mileage sucks, but I live\work\play within a 13 mile radius, so no big deal...

Haven't met a ricer yet that can take me...
