Yea I would have to agree based on it's lap times being 3 seconds faster than anyone else in the time attack and 4 seconds faster than any of the fastest GT series cars running in the Rolex race.

Yep. I am not surprised... Thats the nature of TimeAttack.

However, the TimeAttack culture is not mature in the US. I guarantee you people will talk so much ****. They will accuse Sun of cheating one way or another. Just watch it...

Last time our EVO won and beat the next best EVO by a lost over 3 seconds, the driver said that Tarzan is a cheater and that he cut through pilons on turns. Then he said we were using illegal tires. Pathetic...

EVO community is notorios for this especially. Drama, rumors, bull**** stories. People just hate each other over there. Vendors are on the verge on 3rd world war...

Few days back, I was told out EVO motor was built and that the "engine builder himself" told that person that. What a bunch of crap... Anyone with any car knowledge would be able to tell just by listening to the car if it is a 2.4 or stock. What a bunch of highschool drama rumors.

People need to learn how to loose with dignity and not make excuses.

Anyways, watch people ***** about Cyber EVO shortly...

Yea I hear you on that but personally I don't rate the driver that set the fastest time in that car. The same driver did race some wheel to wheel and to be honest if I said average I would be more than fair.

Yea I have heard of all the drama, sounds like sour grapes to me for the most part. Some people should learn to loose with dignity.

This GT Live thing might actually take off not only was the HPI and SUN Cyber Evo there but also a 06 Zerosports STI.

Uhh.. are you kidding? Because HPI Racing on that racecar is Hobby Products International. I have a few of their cars, even won a few races and 4 track championships with them 5 or 6 years ago
