Re: Just parked the evo next to a gt500

I'd bet on your Evo if you raced. Car and Driver claims a 1/4 of 12.9. Not very impressive for something with 450hp.

Here's a tip to automakers. Instead of continuing to add 100's of hp to cars, how about you drop 500-800 lbs of weight. Anybody notice the ridiculous number of 400+ hp cars that aren't any faster then 300hp cars from the early 90's? (Ford GT and the new Z06 are two obvious exceptions to that list)

But I'm guessing those big HP numbers attract a lot of idiot car buyers (probably like the owner of this particular car).
