I was headed westbound on I-66 outside of the DC beltway today to get to Dulles. I was in the left-most lane of four. I passed, on my immediate right, an Evo IX; I was doing 70, he 65 in this 55 zone. He was stuck behind a volvo. I blipped it a couple times as I passed, and he got the message. Looked like a high school kid driving with a friend. He quickly got around the volvo and matched me at 70. A head bob later and we did a run. I shut it down at 120, when to my surprise I was two car lengths in front of the evo.
Can you say "turbo lag?" I fully expected to get creamed.
Then back eastbound later on I got to play with a yellow Ferrari :-) I think it was a 360.

haha i like how the ferrari story is never even really started... whatd you play cat and mouse? or just challenge him and get owned? lol
An Evo would definetly win to 60, but they are not geared as high as an M3 probably is, so on the highway you should be able to take him. Also he must be a shitty driver to have turbo lag... downshif that fucker...
I say this becasue I love the evo and would like to get one after college. But after you hit about the upper 20's i want the class of the bimmer back.

haha not sure... i just always like to give stupid people the benifit of the doubt... then again buying an auto evo would classify them as stupid anyways :lol:
Do the evo 9's come in 6 speed? I was under the impression that the EVO 8 came only in 5 speed and the EVO 8 MR came in 6 speed. WRX in 5 speed and STi in 6 speed.
