What are the mos on the 11 sec Evo's, any websites with data or info.

I've personally preferred the WRX because it's an easier car to live with day to day (stock that is). The evo 9 is supposed to be a very focused track car overall. Let's hope the Antigua beef doesnt take the road of the East Coast/West Coast rap wars :D

A very notable Dominican WRX/STi owner told me...Friends don't let friends drive mitsubishi...so i told him don't go understeering all over the place

Funny you should mention that last phrase...a good friend of mine suffered badly under an Evo...and it WAS under warranty. Go figure.

What's wrong with mitsubishi? The black STi that is posted in my "friends" thread got his a$$ handed to him the night after his car got tuned by yours truly [stretcher] . Not saying his car is slow but he gotta come better next time.

No east coast, west coast going to happen down here, lol! Honestly, i think the EVO's are much more deadlier and easier to deal with. But like you guys say, friends don't let other friends drive them unless they under warranty. lol!

well for me that statement works because of their cost, in terms of performance and likeliness to break during a run, i'd say EVO all the way. When those guys hook up in track bite they usually break differentials easily. One of our fastest Subaru's here has encountered that same problem. Rebuilding as we speak for next months event.

Actually, if you look at how both cars are built, neither of them are good for drag racing eh. An evo owner was telling me about the ins and outs of the chassis structure, and you just asking for trouble when you launch hard with just a clutch upgrade. You have to add support to the tranny and transfer case and really bolt those suckers to the chassis. Then go kick ass on the strip. Same with Imprezas
