Evo takes Ferarri!

im not surprised at all... look at his mod list.

i think that ferarri was auto because in the manuals they are better cross geared and can take straights SO much better than the autos (tip auto, same difference)


are you smoking the crack? the "auto" that comes in ferraris comes from the f1 clutchless gearbox. it's a manual without the third pedal. instead of a shift gate, everything is controlled electronically. there's no torque convertor. wowsas. auto ferrari. whodathunkit.
 
damn. i would feel bad if i got beat by a car that was over $100,000 less than what i paid for mine. i know a guy here that has over 400awhp on his evo but never hardly races it. its bad ass

<center>I love comparing modded to stock cars. Logically, since one car costs less, it gets some sort of a budget to spend on parts to try and beat the other car. As if its owner had $250k cash in his pocket, but he decided to get a family sedan over a race-bred piece of machinery. Logically.</center>

I know what it is, but it is geared differently than normal (more towards top speed than pure brute acceleration)

The new F430 they tested with Paddle shifters hit 0-60 in 3.5 and the 1/4 in 11.6. IMO Ferrari blends performance together really nicely

uhhmmm... Ya I think we'd all take the ferrari over the evo bud. That isn't the debate here lol. You're comparring a 32K car with a 150+K car. In this video the 32K car is faster :)

Oh... And I think the guy in the ferrari is gay. So does a male supermodel count? lol

Really listen to those guys in the EVO "go go go. you just ****** up a Ferrari (high five). Ferrari Killer (high five). What is that s***? Its a modena...are you serious. man that s*** is crazy. Thats what im talkign about, Ferrari Killer" The dumbass didnt even know what kind of ferrari it was.

I woudl say this dousche is the weakest link in the EVO ocmmunity...givent hem a bad name. The last comment was "NASICO are a bunch of crybabies EVO > Subaru

The comment says.

"So just to make it clear he did not "pass" me"

What a dousche. I would be pissed if I wanted to pass someone and they thought I was racing him. I realize you drive a EVO and you may think its the greatest car and you may thing these guys are god for posting a video of them "smoking a ferrari." Trust me I like the EVO too. But I still think its a lame video as if I was the driver of the ferrari I woudl be pissed and let you have your day of fame. What I saw was a ferrari trying to pass a EVO and the owner thought he was racing and would not let him pass. How ******* lame was that? the ferrari guy did smile at him so maybe you are right about the gay thing.

Perhaps you should tell them they are comapring a $32K car to a $150K car. Lots of cars are fast in straight line racing. A Dodge Dart with a blown hemi may be faster in a striagh line but it doesnt really mean anything.

its like the special olympics...you might win but you are still a retard. If you had a EVO beatign a Enzo how woudl that look...aka special olympics. You can make a EVO beat a enzo on the straights. But wait till you get where the enzo shines...a real track.

EVO MR > STi

but

Subaru > Mitsubishi.

BTW The F1 paddle shifter on the early ferrari's (modena 360s) were crap actually. Clarkson, tiff and vicki always made front of it. "flappy gear box," "Rubbish" and "Michela schimacher gizmo" The F430 and Enzo have brilliant F1 stlye gear boxes...best money can buy on a production car. But I think Jason PLato on 5th gear still says the downshift was notchy and you still had to blimp the throttle to get a smooth downshift...but the upshifts were pure sex.

BTW comparing exotics to mooded cars are lame. Its like comparing cheese cake factory cheese cakes to burger king cheese cake. Both are made out of chees but why is CCF chargin $8 for a slice? You can buy your own topings and put it on the BK cheese cake but its still a bK cheese cake.

i agree that comparing both cars is pointless, especially since the modena is probably the slowest ferrari (although its my favorite) but i don't think the ferrari was just trying to "pass" him, he was behind and then floored it to pass the EVO ... this wasn't just a "damn this car is slow, i'm gona get in front of him so i'm not late for soccer practice" he probably said i'll show this kid what a ferrari is about but he lost. All this is like that time when i won against a 350z ... i was happy, but i'm still only driving a protege =\

True and driver skills are involed too. You were the better driver. Yeah you might have won against a Z but you still drive a protege. But aleast you get better gas milage and can carry 3 more people. That can come in real handy because you can fit 4 chicks instead of 1 ;). I tell people I drive a protege all the time...no harm in that (althought I dont really like it). I have no problem telling people this is my daily driven protege that is fun to drive. What you dont want to do is become a SRT-4 owner and when you beat someboy deny its a neon. "Its not a neon...its a SRT-4." in the old days they use to call evos "LAncer Evolution." Im not sure if they still do but under mitsu sit its still listed as a lancer evolution. hence its a lancer on steriods (different engine and tranny but the chasis is a lancer).
