Cobalt eats an evo...
Now i know that i am about to hear some **** for even saying this...
I beat an Evo.
I was pulling out of my apartments when i see an evo fly past on the main road. My girl was in the car with me so i tell her to hang on.
I pull beside the evo doing about 50 in second. He doesnt think anything of my stock exhaust, so i hammer down. He does not follow. GAY!!! So i was like screw it and slowed down to the 40 mph speed limit.
And then it happend. The ricer fly by.... He made sure he shifted as he past so i could hear his aftermarket blow off. So i drop second, pull up beside him at the top of second and wait untill he drops gear and mashes. I let him get the jump and then go to WOT. By the time i hit 3rd i was even with him. I stayed in just long enough to put maybe a car on him. I did not go to forth.
So then we come up to a light where we are both turning left (two turning lanes). he would not look at me or turn the radio down. So i get his buddies attencion and he turns the radio down. I said is that a real evo? He was like yeah and then turned the radio back up.
Anyway i beat an evo...
Now i know that from a stop he would have waxed my ass so no need in pointing that out to me...

I believe it. I wouldn't call it a race though. Evos fall flat on their face in 3rd, not to mention that they are AWD. Also, if it were the MR edition, it comes with the 6 spd, he would be shifting more and you'd stay in gear.

I've raced an Evo before from a roll. he pulled ahead at first, then I started pulling on him, next I know his brakes lights come on and he turns on a side street. I have a video to prove it, it's from a cell phone and you see me pull and then 2-3 seconds later his brake lights. How do I host this video?

I saw that video. It was on some show from Britain
on Discovery channel, I forget the name, something like Sports Car TV. He failed to mention the Lambo was stock, and the EVO was HEAVILY modified with over 400HP and a special ECU that prevents the car from spinning out, by transferring power to the gripping wheel. The driver absolutely could not spin out on a turn. It was a Gray Evo 8

The show in question was, in my opinion, the best car show on tv, Top Gear. The Mitsu did wax the lambo, and a formula 1 driver was driving the lambo. As for the evo, it was the UK only special edition FQ400 Mitsu Evo 8 MR with, you guessed it, 400bhp, plus all kinds of other tweaks. But, it IS a factory car from Mitsu, and it DOES have four doors and costs a quarter of the price of the lambo. Personally, I d take the sleeper evo any day over the lambo, but thats a personal opinion.

He should of beated you no prob if he knew how to drive it. I think were giving these Evos a little bit to much confidence. They cant be dynoing much more than a stock STI.
We all agree that a stock cobalt that downshifts high up in third could possibly pull on one that did not expect it.
As far as the story goes. I wouldnt of posted it.
