Like, not even close bud..and in the corners the G35 guys did not have the line, I drove right by them on the inside because I could still push it while they were all maintaining what grip they had. In the straights its gapplebees for dinner every time. Would have to be boosted to keep up with an Evo. The Evo in this vid was built by RRE with an FP Red turbo in it and supporting mods...500+ whp. You're day dreaming boy. My buddy has a AP1 S2000 with intake and exhaust and thats it... he pulls ahead of a bolt on G35 by top of 2nd gear and keeps a car on em above 80.

    First signs of caution. The Porsche is a 996 GT3 Cup car which does not seem unsettled at all in any turn or at any speed at any time in front of you. Your car has a history of losing grip and sliding out of control when ever you have tried to match speed or pass the Porsche. Physics tried to warn him. All wheel drive can be misleading. In normal driving it can make almost any driver feel invincible, but like all things, there are limitations.

    Slyfoxboy think that over for a few more seconds and realize that automakers add spoilers to increase downforce and reduce lift. the shape of a rear windscreen naturally creates lift at high speed like an aeroplane's wing, which is why most fast cars have some sort of wing or lip on the bootlid. if you remove that then the faster you go the less grip your rear wheels have, because the whole back end is getting lifted by air pressure differentials.

    TheTyisAwesome There is a bit more than that going on here. The Cup is lighter, has more power and more tire. The down force created by a functional wing may give him traction but it would also slow down his acceleration and lower the top speed. It wouldn't surprise me if it helped him stick but took away the ability to keep speed or pass the cup car any way. They are just very different machines.

    a hemi is what Chrysler calls their V8's. Originally, it was because back in the 60's and 70's, they had hemispherical cylinder heads, but now it's just a regular V8 with a cool name. A rotary is a non-traditional engine design that is only used by Mazda for current production cars (RX-7, RX-8), and it's known for being a very free-revving engine with a high redline and zero torque.

Not at all like your standard GT3 or even GT3 RS, which are street legal track cars ( more like GS class racers). A "Tuned" weekend road racer is just not going to be able reach the same limits as a factory race car. Certainly not in any daily driver form. I'm sure that all wheel drive feels confidence inspiring in that EVO at lower limits. He should have learned his lesson the first time.

    lifehackertips Different class. His Evo may be closer to a GS where as the Cup car is GT Cup class. It is big difference. I just think he was silly trying to bite off more than he can chew. He said that EVO was also the car he drives to work. A GT car like the Porsche cup car has lexan windows in the rear, carbon fiber doors (not just the skins) and body panels with no windows or fixed vented lexan windows (depending on how they want it). A fuel cell, roll cage... I am going to stop myself. I understand what you are saying. I am just saying they two totally different animals. He may have a better chance at passing a regular GT3, but I doubt it. At the end of the day the EVO is still just a Mitsubishi with trick parts thrown at it. Porsche are Porsche.
