I came from the JDM world, all I remember was EVO guys complaining that gearing and power. No doubt it's a king of the modified world, up there with the likes of the supra. |

no fucking way. i owned an Evo 8, just no way in hell this happens. Evo may beat V8 M3 to 60 b/c of AWD launch, but from there on, the V8 will pull on the Evo like how frat bros pull bitches' hairs....yeah i went there.

Lol so you went from 5th to 4th and then to 3rd? Why didn't you just go straight to 3rd? The guy probably gained a couple car lengths while you were figuring out what gear to put it in. Refer to my first post, learn to drive.

Keep in mind the aero really affects the Evo at speed, same with Sti's the older models of both cars are complete bricks above 100mph. A 340awhp Evo is not going pull a stock DCT M3 @ speed, period.
I'd bet you ran into a nice heads/cam CTS-V. For him to put significant distance on you he'd need that. Those 6.0 liters can make well over 400whp with simple cam/head modifications. My brothers GTO has an LS6 (bored to 6.3 liters), cam and conservative headwork and it weighs in at 3800lbs and makes 460whp/455tq for reference

Fair enough, at least your willing to admit your faults. For future runs, just hold down the left paddle then gun it, dct will automatically down shift to the appropriate gear for fastest acceleration. Now we know why you lost and now you know what to do when something like this happens again.

Whoa, calm down trigger! I was referring to an evo ix. If you don't know anything about it or what it's capable of, best just not open your mouth. And the guy that had an viii that said there's no way in hell it'd walk an e9x m3 probably didn't know how to drive it.

Even walked a new coupe manual on the freeway in mexico up to 162MPH He was shocked stopped and ask me what i had i said muffler and filter. But later i found out the gearing for the CTS-V isnt that good for top end theres a thread were this is explained on this forum!
