Evo trouble
My "little brother" just got a 2007 or something Evo MR.
I cant let myself be embarrassed by my little brother in an import!
And the bank has been calling about getting a line of credit on my house.
They say i can get up to 30k
So what is it going to take to take him down? will a c5 zo6 do the job or do i need a c6 zo6?
Never really wanted another loan.... But meh thinking about my brother running circles around my c4 in an import makes my skin crawl!

jon- you're hilarious!
to the OP- don't put yourself in financial debt "just" to beat your bro... it's not worth it. It's like winning the battle but loosing the war... lol
ram some nitrous down your v8's throat, you'll be fine!

EVO, Extra Virgin Olive oil?
That'll be the day I go $30K in debt just to keep up appearances with someone.... There will always be someone out there with more.

A unicorn. I'm sure there is one standing next to the Mid-engine EVO that you can hop on.

Take your little bro, and hang him on a nail in the wall by his tighty whities and save $30K. Problem solved. You're welcome.

Honestly, yes a z06 will take it if you can drive yes. Also honestly, just cut the hose to his intercooler. And then dont let him cut the hose to yours...

I just smoked a 2010 evo in my 125k mile 2001 z28 with a cat back. You have serious problems if you need to get a loc on your house to beat a weak little rice rocket.

AWD cars are great off the line, from a roll nots so great.
I wouldnt bother,
your car still looks better than his and its a sports car not a souped up
econo\family 4 door sedan.
so whatever, drive what you like

at the army base I live near we have a drag racing track I fequent. Those army guys get their signing bonus and go out and buy those EVO's and take them to Test & Tune night. Its really hillarious watching them try to drive those things down the track and they can never shift with a damn. I hate it though if I get paired up with them, nothing worse than a track noob that doesnt know how to work the tree lights.

I looked quick and saw times around 12.9-13.5 @ 100-105MPH for the evo, which is really not that fast. Do a few mods, or the nos, you'll be fine.

An endless battle to sink more and more money into each of your cars to go faster and faster to prove....what?
Why don't both of you just go out behind the garage with a ruler and each measure your Yaris! A whole lot cheaper and easier - and probably safer too!
