I'd say you might win but dont be too confident. Ive said this a million times dont underestimate the car just because its awd. My Evo when it was stock pulled on our S2k which had intake and exhaust starting from 2nd gear, the S took off first and the Evo caught it by 4th and had pulled 1 car ahead by 118 before we let off. Ive had my Evo up to 160 and it was still pulling, stock I got it up to 150.

Anyways should be interesting, if you do run keep us posted, and be careul.

You must of had one strong Evo in stock form! Its been my experience to have a car length on the Evo at the end of 4th through 5th. Although in this race, he (the Evo owner), had a passenger and it stood at a car length through those two gears, his Evo was not ahead! Once again, you might of had a stronger factory Evo and also the subtraction of an added passenger but your right it can go either way. Its a drivers race until you end up in the triple digits. One more point, STi is 300HP and TQ where as the Evo is 274HP, that added HP of the STi could tell a different tail! Good luck with the race and keep us all posted!
