well, a 13.5 is an STi's best right now (which can be bettered by a few tenths I think ), .... so when are ANY of the EVO's going t go to the strip??

 

I PM'ed the guy, said I'd do it. We'll see if he calls. I don't think he will.

 

I think I know who that "customer" is...I believe it's a red EVO...

 

The fastest stock Evo on the mainland (as of late April) was 13.1 @ 102. Of course, I seriously doubt a stock Evo could approach those numbers here, but those times (especially the traps) are still pretty damn impressive.

2nd run:
60' 1.841
330' 5.444
1/8 8.461
mph 82.56
1000' 11.092
1/4 13.289
mph 104.56

3rd run: missed second but still ran a 13.768@ 100.34mph
4th run:
60' 1.776
330' 5.406
1/8 8.410
mph 81.88
1000' 11.003
1/4 13.185
mph 102.17

One things for sure, it would definitely be worth the price of admission. Go Dan!

 

I'm thinking that the Evo is going to turn similar times but lower mph... Maybe 13.6-13.8 @ 94-95mph? Just a total guesstimate...

Pacific Automotive & Performance Center is sponsoring this guy w/ the Evo. I wonder if Speedgear Motorsports would sponsor me!!!!!!!! (hint hint hint)

The Speedgear STi...........has a ring to it!

 

The EVO people still haven't called me yet. They must be scared.......

 

dude, what's the rush, ... you can't race for a week yet anyway!

 

"Hello we own the red evo in kahala not the speed zone one... First one off the lot. Thanks for replying sounds like fun! We spanked a Supra the other night it had colorado plates...I'm glad to have a real car to race. I actually wanted an STI first but the Evo came out first so we got that. PM with any info or come Pac Auto were always there with one of our cars."

I got this PM from speedhawaii. Hmmmmm......"spanked a Supra the other night"?

Was it a turbo?

 

try find out how much he paid for that sucker

 

hmm, I wonder if the supra knew that they were racing.

 

i think its a girl that owns the car...and the husband or boyfriend drives it. she also has a is300 or something....i heard they paid 46k.

-Snuff

 

lol!!
