Just to stir the pot a bit before I leave
Drivers break mitsubishi drivetrains, not the power. driven properly he can launch as hard as he wants. dunno where that common ignorant misconception comes from, but if it's in your genes please castrate yourself before they get spread.
if a RWD on a slick can't destroy an AWD out of the hole he's doing something wrong. from a dig the camaro definitely has the upper hand by far.

slipping the clutch wastes 60' times and burns up clutch material. get a good flywheel and clutch you can trust, and invest in good driveline components. fuck babying something out of the hole.
personal rule of thumb: if i break it, GREAT! i found the weak link. rebuild it with something stronger and try again...

the 1st gen F-bodies are pretty light, weighing in around 3300 or so.. that puts it about on par with the Evo... a modded car will usually weigh LESS than stock, since parts are normally simplified and built from lighter materials, and stock parts are usually pretty heavy. i don't know where you get the dumb ideal that he gains 300 lbs from a turbo swap? might want to go back to 1st grade math there.

I said 3600lbs with a driver! most drivers are 200 lbs! the upgraded turbo components and other accessories with it in that car will add some weight. and you basically just reiterated what i said; the camaro and evo weight-wise are on par. learn how to read before calling people ignorant.

if you guys are wondering who built that evo it was built by AMS www.amstuned.com
