I was driving on the freeway in my 01 Cobra and I see this blue light in my rear view mirror, so I knew it must be a rice rocket. As he got closer I saw that it was an Evo. He pulled up next to me and we both floored it up to about 110 until traffic ended the race. I pulled on him pretty good so I'm guessing it was mostly stock. I did, however, hear the blow off valve very clearly. I don't know much about Evos, or any other import for that matter, but I'd say that this was a pretty good kill.
My list of kills is not terribly impressive so this was kind of cool for me.

I wouldnt consider Evo's rice at all. They can hang with the best of the V8 powered big boys. Definitely a good kill for your Cobra and it was most likely stock or very close to it. They can be nasty with boltons and some added boost.

Evo is rice?

A Bolt on IX and your going to need a supercharger to keep up.

My bolt on 9 trapped 115-116mph on 93 Octane, 23psi and No Meth.

EVO is rice Pffffffffffffffffffffttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.


And yes I do own a Mach and it is going to take a blower to make it as fast as my EVO was.

I consider Evos rice. Being fast does not mean that it is not rice. That's why they are called rice rockets. Any car with a tiny 4 banger all hopped up on turbos with an ugly ass body kit is the definition of a rice rocket. But yes, with mods they are damn fast.
