Sunday:
There was a benefit car show for Alex Ahmad, a Supra driver who was killed when a bank robber hit him head on while fleeing from police here in Phoenix a couple of weeks ago. There were about 100 cars there and it was a pretty sad sight as this gentleman was a big enthusiast like all of us and this happened so quickly. He had many friends in the local car community. RIP

Off to the Autocross.
While most of you would think that I am crazy for taking a car like this one to an AutoX, I was planning on going to this in my GT3 and the GT3 was at EVO so I had to run something, right?
Overall pretty impressed with the car’s performance there. 1<SUP>st</SUP> place was 32 seconds (yes, it was a small and very tight course, I never got out of 2<SUP>nd</SUP> gear) Lotus Elise race car on slicks. We (My wife rode with me on all 4 runs) ran (2) 39 second runs and (2) 38 second runs for a best time of 38.01 which was the second fastest car on street tires.
Here are some pics:

All in all, I am absolutely in love with this car. Everything about it was perfect. I want to buy it. My wife loves it. I don’t want to give it back. This kit is amazing as it is violently fast when you need it to be, but drives like a regular 997TT on a daily basis. They are currently working on the full package and I am not sure on their release date yet, but if you get a chance to drive or ride in one of these bad boys, please do yourself a favor and take them up on it. The guys at Evo really knocked it out of the park with the EVT700 997TT kit. Nice work fellas!!!!
Keep watching this thread for additional updates and testing of the car with the Race gas file coming up.

I love the high revving GT3's, but this Turbo is something else. I am an official Turbo Convert.
