autos shift faster though

The time shows how well the Evo launches with that AWD more than anything. I look at the trap speed. I've seen Evos/Sti's run low 12's but only trap a little over 110 or lower. So for example if I had a pullied Cobra that r uns low 12's but traps at 116 vs. an Evo that runs low 12's but only traps at 113 who's gonna win from a roll?? The Cobra of course.

The LS2 GTO with the same mods would've been a closer race since it comes with 50 more horses than an LS1 GTO stock.

evo would still win considering both drivers had equal skill. since when di d even the newer gto's run low 12's?

Good race,evo's are nice,but overrated.And to say the gto wouldn't have a c hance is just ignorant,race an ls2 gto and we'll see what happens.

evo IX's with just i/e/mbc/tune = low 12 second car. gto wouldnt have a chance even if it was manual.

In defense of the GTO, he is automatic, and it wasn't really downshifting correctly some of the time. The closer run was when he got the hit. Good times.

look like a close 2nd run at least.

EVO's have proven they can hold their own. Good run.
