The new Evo is coming very soon. Looks like you made two mistakes in a row, maybe three?

I did what I did because I thought it was the best move I could possibly make at the moment, and I still think it was.
I don't like the new look of the evo, and I don't want to wait so long to get my hands on it. I would much prefer messing with 4g63 than something entirely new.
Looks like you made some useless post
and I don't need your dirty oil

You guys should just buy sport bikes if you like seat of the pants power and good track times. They're chain drive so you'd keep the drivetrtain hp loss down as well. My big1800 VTX V-Twin cruiser does the quarter around 13 sec (12.7sec magazine reviews)and it's considered slow by bike standards. These little sub compact hotrod cars are so whatever. It's all relative

Good point Roaddemon!
Though we set a Funnybike milestone which held for over six years, (the worlds quickest turbo charged motorcycle at 6.82-seconds/199+ MPH), Mr. Turbo is most proud of the milestones set by their 100% street legal, and totally ridable, Kawasaki ZX-11. That bike claimed top speed during a recent Sport Rider Magazine Shootout, of 230 MPH.
But don't become a statistic: http://www.motorcycle-training.f2s.com/bornagain.html

I actually really have nothing against bikes and would consider getting one sometime down the road but I can't do it right now.
btw, I have a friend who had one of these.

Simply put, 15-20whp is not going to shave a half second or more off your ET.
There is no way these things run high 12s STOCK. IkeWRX is full of it, he is a beotch.

The Evo IX is a step above the Evo VIII in terms of huge performance gains for very little modding money. (Addition of MIVEC and larger turbo compressor housing)
Fact is, Evo IX's with just a reflash ARE running high 12's.
A cat back, and a proper reflash will get you 35-50 Wheel hp for chump change...
It's only a matter of time before a stock Evo IX pulls high 12's; they are making something closer to 315 hp at the crank than the 286 hp they're rated at...
