I also call shenanigans. I've run neck and neck with a TT built motor Z on the highway in my daily driven IX MR (400whp). If I had 100whp more I would have run away from him. The other driver was a friend of mine, who can also drive.

I would imagine what you saw was good driver in the Z vs bad driver in the Evo.

the IX MR with the JDM map has been recorded running a 12.6 bone stock with the launch control (keep in mind this is not USDM and Japan has higher octane gas). Obviously this isn't what we are used to seeing here, but the Evo's here run 11s all day long with basic bolt ons. Hell, they run 10s with minimal work, stock block.
