Yo,

My advice would be don't try it, unless your car is pretty modified. I was chasing one up the highway. I thought I would catch him, until he stepped on the gas :embarrassed: !!!

Good luck if you come across one.

having had (and still) the opportunity to drive my uncle's EVO numerous times, i know that u basically have no chance. ZERO! unless the guy can't drive, u'll lose everytime. i raced a 2003 Tib GT-V6 in it once, and considering i gave it absolutely no lauch whatsoever, i still won with ease. the car is a rocket and is a delight to drive, but i still love my tib. wish my uncle would mod his EVO!
