I get 22-23 in the City and 26 on the highway.

Why not source your parts locally, as well as tune locally? I buy probably 90% of my parts locally.

Bah, Buschnutz buddies probably own the two "super cars".

I bet he paid them off to sandbag it to make his shit look better on video.

Re: GT35R Evo vs Porsche Carrera GT
 

Why wouldn't it be real? there are videos of civics beating vipers, etc. so it's not impossible. the question I really want answered is: how many titanium connecting rods are in that video?

Re: GT35R Evo vs Porsche Carrera GT
 

the vid was not to great.
I would take the ford gt over the carrera gt just because of the fact that the paint and body work on the carrera is crap. kevin,me and the other auto body people looked at tit when we were still a dunwoody are were aske to leave the area at the auto show for picking there car apart

Re: GT35R Evo vs Porsche Carrera GT
 

Yes im sure its crap........ You should have told the porsche guys that and then drove by in your evo and revved. Look at my sweet bodywork ya dumb germans!!

Re: GT35R Evo vs Porsche Carrera GT
 

this was all when I was still at dunwoody when I painted my talon about 2 years ago and it was at the car show down town. the evo was not even a though yet

Re: GT35R Evo vs Porsche Carrera GT
 

Yeah but your car is pretty much stock. Get it close to the 500awhp on pump gas levels and drive it using the power/torque the supercars have.

My point is that 1 gt35r evo beat a few gt supercars. Wow the tree dodging car won on the highway...

To bad the gt cars were stock if not close to stock and were designed to do that ALL DAY LONG versus an evo pushing its setup to win on the street.

They are not comparible cars. In the end, its still just an evo. In the end when the civic beats the viper, its still a civic...different class of cars.

Re: GT35R Evo vs Porsche Carrera GT
 

A win is a win! I would still rather own the Carrera GT, but you have to give the Evo props for beating them with maybe $50k into the car if he bought it new.

Re: GT35R Evo vs Porsche Carrera GT
 

Yeah but according to the video the car makes 598whp at 34psi with C-16, and it makes 500whp on pump? Either that setup is fucked or someone needs to learn how to tune on race gas...or it doesn't truely make 500whp compared to 598whp on race gas...UNLESS again the c-16 tune is weak and the pump gas tune is ragged edge.
For a stock gt car versus a pretty modded evo the porsche wasn't very far behind. So again on "pump gas" I am pretty damn sure that evo would get dominated.

FINALLY...

What is that modded evo's resale value in 9 years?
What about the ford gt?
What about the Carrera?

I honestly think its a good race and comparison, but I doubt every 35r equipped Evo could beat those supercars. They are not comparible, its a sweet video and great bragging rights for the evo's owner.

Re: GT35R Evo vs Porsche Carrera GT
 

It's cool to beat a high dollar car in a low dollar car, that's why we're all here. Going fast for cheap is the DSM mantra. But they're hardly comparable in any other way. I'd rather own a Carrera GT for a year than an EVO for a lifetime, and the cost for each is about the same. :lol:
