Our EVO should be 3-4 seconds faster than a GT3 at willow springs. guys in similarly set up cars are running 1:28-1:29 consistently.

Evo MR will put the hurt on a GT3/GT2 on a tight track. And probably trail it by a lil' bit in a long course like the Nurburgring due to its inability to keep up in the straights.

Auto-x... bye bye $100K+ krauts.

And it's not just quantative data coming through. Automotive experts who have motorsports experience rave about the car's capabilities. Stock.

 

Your telling me a bone stock EVO MR is faster than a GT3 and runs sub 1:30 at Big Willow?

This I have to see, considering that a GT2 runs about 1:30 flat with a very very good driver on stock tires.

You could be talking about my friend Sean (also has and raced Porsches in the past) with the Red EVO right?

 

no not bone stock. this is stripped, with good coilovers, cage, r-spec tires, and about 300whp.

I have no idea what the stock car runs there. FYI, the MR package we get here is kind of a ripoff. The fastest EVO here is the RS.

This I'd love to see...

 

no , no one is embelishing the numbers...... Here in chicago .... there is a young gentleman who has the countries record @ 8.77 sec. @ 152mph . His name is Adam and he used to work for a very respected Company called AMS... now he is on his own... his cars that he builds run 10.8 sec at 132mph on stock motor... mine will run @138mph with 600HP to the wheels... no BULL ****. Im also doing the engine.... BTW... it will be an every day driver.... at low boost (19PSI). thats actually why I want it. Sometime after the weekend I will try to post some videos.... Im trying to get them from Adam. These cars are wth AC/, radio, and actually run 10s on rardial tires....
Adams EVO is a little bit different cause its stripped and weighs only 2400LBS., race gas & slicks.
My cost is only $13K cause Im not paying much for labor..... its 3K for the engine build out, $2600 for the tranny with shorter ratios along with a dual mass clutch, $3500K for the Gt35r garret turbo package, $700 for the intercooler, a few hundred for the exhaust, $600 for the headers(custom made), $100 for the fuel pump, a little bit more for the injectors, and finally $1800 for the Autronic stand alone.... with a little bit of Adams genious wizardy... its 600HP to the wheels. Ive seens it ...and I raced in my TT( stage 4) against Adams cars more then once.

 

Well lets not forget the Holly Grail of 911's...'73 911RS.

 

For those who want to see an EVO 8 with $10K in it... no internals except cams... every day driver on low boost(19PSI) can do at the track( street radials ). its got 530HP to the wheels... and runs 10.80s constant. God knows what it would do with a good suspension.

Yes, but the problem is that the single turbo might be a bit hard to manage on the track.

The EVOs are great for the money, but I'd still prefer my Porsches.

 

So do I, I just need a off season car.... and getting my *** into another S500 benz or something like that just wont cut it.... maybe when i get older.
I wouldnt trade my TT for anything(reasonably speaking). Ive had the ferraris, the diablos, the lotus, and astons..... I prefer my TT.

 

Amen, Mark.

However, I do recommend you try the GT3, especially if you like to mess around at the track. Not a drag racer, but it is soooooo much fun!!!

 

My friend has a GT3... he loves it.... got to try it this spring

 

I had an Evo 8 with a few mods which sold it and got a TT. The Evo has got to be the best cornering car I have ever owned. Took off hard but top end was weak but I have been in Evo's with turbo work and the top end becomes awesome.

 

$2000 in mods runs 12.00 at the 1/4
