Took the RED BEAST out for a spin!

The weather is sunny and the roads are dry so the RED BEAST went for a ride today!

HOLY CRAP!!!

Forgot how fast this thing is, spins all four in second and just throws you back in your seat! Up to 140 mph in a flash! Can't wait for Spring and some fun track events!

I had mine out for a couple of weeks also Buddy. It sure is nice to get behind the wheel. Snowed the last couple of days, but it's almost spring! This winter hasn't been much different than spring up to a few days ago.

Hey Buddy, I am glad to hear that the Red Beast is healthy and running strong again. When did you get it back? Also glad that to hear you took advantage of the great weather we had going on in GR today. Wish I could say the same. Hope to get mine out next time too.

Buddy,
How do you compare the power delivery to a gt640? Ive heard that the gt700 spools quicker but evoms website claims gt640 to have "zero turbo lag" thx

I have the gt640 kit and take it from me there is has no lag. The gt700 uses the same turbos as the gt640 kit. The gt700 has different software and upgrades the fueling system on the car.

So definately less lag than a stock or stage 2 car? My stage 2 seems pretty laggy.

Hey Bob,

Next warm, clear day we should go for a drive. Are you signed up for any track events yet?
