My buddy said he beat and evo 9 by one car, he is stage 1 with intake and exhaust. The Evo was stock.

The evo has 286hp and 289tq how could this happen? I say the driver couldnt drive but what about you? Im curious is the evo9 that slow?

Stock Evos are slow from a roll period. and with the 20% power loss through the AWD a stock Evo only puts down about 225awhp.

yeah it all depends, on a roll sure, from a dig, nope

Only if driven correctly...Rarely do Evo or STi guys dump their clutches at 5,000 rpms. The majority feather it off the line and pretty much negate the point of the AWD launch.

WRX vs R32 GTR vs Buick GN (the gn was on street tires and messing around, on drag radials he would have KILLED both)

True dat. Those guys were obviously pushing serious power. In the case of your standard everyday stockish evo8-10...it's a rareity to see them launched correctly. I have a decently modified Evo X MR Touring (320 awhp to the wheels) and it's idiot proof to launch just because it comes with the two-step stock.

It's a 6-speed dual clutch auto...very similar to the DSG. You can adjust the transmission to three settings; Normal, Sport, and Super-sport. Super-sport from a dead stop enables you to activate the launch control. The GSR is only optioned as a 5-speed manual. I believe the Evo 9 MR had a 6-speed manual.

What all do you have done to your EVO X that got you to 320awhp?

AMS pro-tuned, AMS cold-air intake, AMS intercooler piping, boost-pill, CP-e catback exhaust. It's my wife's car, so I haven't had a chance to take it to the dragstrip this year. Going off butt-dyno, I would say it's good for a mid to high 12 second 1/4 mile.
