belive me when I tell you that the guy in the evo did not know how to drive the evo. After owning one and putting it on the strip and doing 12.4 STOCK on a four banger, the evo is the best bang for the buck as far as performance is concerned. after a simple flash of the ecu and a boost controller, I was able to net 330hp to the wheels without opening the motor. That mod is under $1000 dollars. Lets see if a covette can do that. besides that video does nothing for the evo. there is a vid of an evo out performing a lambo.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU4jzAqvQK0

Regular Evo = Engine with a Turbo
FQ400 = Big, whacking turbo with an engine

Very simple mods to this car will kill a z06 ,STOCK TURBO!!!!!!. An d as for the fq 400, it is a big turbo, not the biggest since a gt35r on the evo's would put the car in the 600 to 700 hp range.

fq400 is running a smaller GT30 series Garrett Turbo with a fully built motor, motec engine management, etc etc. It was a high performance model of the EVO 8 released in the UK only.
The new evo 9 has a few changes and about 30 more horsepower than previous 03-04 models. This is due to a newly revised engine with MIVEC Variable Valve Timing (Mitsu's version of VTEC), a larger 10.5 hotside on the turbo, and a revised transmission.
On the dynamometer the evo 9 puts out about 255whp/250wtq. With simple bolt ons like a turboback exhaust, boost controller, turbo housing, and a tune people here in socal have been pushing up to 350whp for less than $1500.
Right now im running a 3" downpipe, Greddy Full titanium exhaust catback(weighs only 9lbs!), and a high flow filter. The car breaths so much better now and is so much faster. Once I get a tune, race gas, and boost controller im heading to the strip and I'll post up times for a bone stock EVO IX w/ minor bolt ons. Im guessing 11.7-12.0 quartermile. 12.0 and i'll be dissapointed.

All I can say is that guy in the z06 really sucks at driving, I bet he had trouble seeing over the steering wheel, and looks like he wasnt shifting too fast.. Especially if its your 1st time or even 10th time driving it, it takes alot of practice to launch because of traction problems. I manage to pull a 11.6 in the 1/4 with a completly stock z06 (other than cheap drag radials), and managed to get a 1.67 60' which is almost unheard of with these cars.

Yes I did have an evo but gave it up because needed to have a civilized car to daily drive not to mention I also have a 400whp integra that I'm debating on selling also.

12.4 is very possible with bolt ons and cams. I know a buddy who just ran 12.4 at pomona with those mods on an evo 8. 
There are a couple of people running 10's on stock turbo evo 8s. Anything is possible its all about how deep your pockets are and how much knowledge you have.
The Z06 is a beast especially top end. No replacement for displacement.
Its possible for an evo to outrun a Z06, but after spending all that money and time wrenching your car, you might as well have bought a Z06...
For less money spent you can definetely be faster than a Z06, but to say for less than a couple thousand thats a little internet savy. With a large turbine like the gt40, and gt42 one should have no problem giving the Z06 a humbling run.

Yeah, a highly modified evo will barely be streetable. It will be more of a track/race car, the z06 on the other hand comes from the factory reliable, streetable, and most importantly faster than 99% of the cars on the road BONE STOCK.
I only wish I could afford one. I only hope I get this fast car bug out of me before I hit middle age
