BradPete,

Do you use the EVT700 package as a daily driver ? Does the beefed up torque converter for the tip have a higher stall speed for faster launches ? IMHO, if the tip now has a higher stall speed, although it would be incredibly fast, it simply wouldn't be as desirable as a daily driver. Could you describe the tip performance in more detail.

Well, I received the car yesterday, and I have driven it only today maybe 50 miles

The car with the EVT700/750R is my daily driver and actually even with my renewed suspension, it is very "normal" and easy car to drive. This means there is no extra sounds ( besides of beefed exhaust), rattles or nothing like. Car is so sound and all gear changes feels like stock: sound, smoothness etc... only thing what is noticeable is the speed the revs go up!! and the car accelerates!! I was little bit afraid if this Torque Converter changes the soul of the car, but nothing like that! I am happy in 10 point scale I would say 11. It was worth for this three weeks that I was waiting for it!!

I plan to use the car as my daily driver, through the winter, but also take it to the track! Maybe next week I can tell what kind of improvements there are on my local track! and, I would like to do some quarter mile or standing mile, let's see!

Glad to hear you love it Brad. That is the same feedback I have heard from all other EVT700 owners I have spoken to.
Post up some times when you get it to the 1/4!
