Had a kid roll up next to me in his Evo and he kept hitting his Blow Off valve So I stomped it and gave him the sound of a SC V 8 At the next light rolled down the window and said nice car and he loved the sound. Then he say my SUPER CHARGER sticker ( Thanks Tim Murphy) and Asked about the horse power. 400 at the wheels was my answer with a smile. WOW was his reponce followed by a OH ****. I then told him it was not a good night to get cuffed and stuffed and he agreed. But it was easy to tell he wanted some of this. We then pulled off at a BP poped the hoods and took a look at each others rides. He was surprised to see a 5 liter 32 valve V 8 with a SC. Truth is I wanted some of him to but not worth the risk. Anybody know how the SC cars measure up against one of these Box Rockets??

Probably a question of distance/speed. You've got a lot longer legs, but a lot more mass to get moving off the line. Depending on the hookup at launch, it might take a few seconds to pass him. But you would gain ground and continue to from the start.

I'm pleased to announce ya would have kicked his *** !, I was at a top marque track day in my standard 88 S4, there was a couple of Boxers, Lotus Elise's a Skyline, a 993 twin turbo and a race prepared Evo (roll cage, interior ripped out, single bucket seat, arrived on a trailer) they all got arsey as they where all over me on the tight bends but couldn't catch up never mind pass on the straights!
The 993 however did whip my ***, but the Evo boy was well pissed at an 18 year old car leading the way-but saying that it was a track day with no silly moves being made!

EVOs are no slouches. With an exhaust upgrade and upped boost the stock turbo will get an EVO 8 trapping around 110. But stock, they are low 13 second 105mph cars. A to4e upgrade w/20psi would make it a different animal.

If it was the 4g... exhaust, boost controller, and fuel pump would cause that car to run right with you, maybe even scare you a bit.

My ex-STI would get up to 165 mph in no time. I think the STI was quicker than my SC "up to 165 mph" but it still felt like a heavily modified Corolla, no connection wth the driver, just purily fast with no soul.
