woo, cool turnout

I really liked the boosted old school Sentra's ( Halfwit would've loved them ) and this one metallic dark grey Galanta VR-4 ( it was freakin sweet ) - George should have a pic of it up ( he better! ) - also witnessed the Hello Kitty Evo doing a 10 second 1/4 mile.... (btw Tracy is hotter in person :D haha )

Overall there was a pretty nice turnout - although straight out? The 240 and Honda people cant do burnouts worth a shit :lmfao:

oh yea, one of the faster cars there was one of those new Mercede's SUV Nazi looking box thingamabobs - that thing was freakin schweeeet

So my evo is a piece of shit now. Blah blah blah

I was very disappionted not to see the ts evo out today. It must be still blown up from there little 10.7 pass.

If you are talking about my evo, no I didn't run nitrous. You would know it if I sprayed it. 10.55 is cute and all but with the spray it will crush the 10.55. I just had to run faster than 10.7 to get my title as the quickest evo in georgia. 4 passes and it was mine. 10.9 off the trailor, not bad for a true 100% street car. I will turn it up if I have to, later hater.

Not flaming in any kind of way, serious question here. How is the driveability of your Evo as a street car? Do you have to make any minor changes or do you drive it home exactly as it was at the track?

Will and TS are not associated with each other so taking a "pop" shot at them because of someone else's opinion is very unprofessional. Keep the beef between you and Will. Leave TS out of it.

It's funny you think TS bad mouths you, but every time I'm at their shop and your name or shop name comes up they are very professional about it and are in no way derogatory. In fact if somebody does start "bad mouthing" your shop, they tell the person there is no room for drama in their place of business and to stop bad mouthing you. Did you know this? I bet you didn't!

Maybe you should stop listening to all the hype and BS people tell you because as the saying goes "believe half of what you see and NONE of what you hear".

On a side note, that is a very impressive time you ran. Congrats to you and Tracy. :goodjob:

I dont know why Will is bashing BG about there 10 second run.. I mean, BG already had a 8 sec car and all.. I think 1st import from GA to hit a 8's at the time.
Anyways... At this time, BG has the fastest EVO, until then.. everyone needs to Shut the fuck.

Tell you what Tony since you were nice with what you asked, if you have time meet me at the shop on Tuesady and we can ride in the evo......at 30 lbs of boost. It drives so awesome. It actually gets good gas mileage if you don't boost it at every red light. The clutch is a dream, feels stock.

I hope you take me up on it :)

Unfortunately I have to work tuesday but I appreciate the offer. I only ask because whatever I choose next I'd like a good amount of horsepower, just wondered how the driveability is when you're runnings 10's in an Evo.

namahs
05-28-2006, 07:53 PM
My evo has a lot of drivability tuning done to it since I do actually drive it everyday. Dan gets a base map going and then tunes the drivability sitting on the couch at home. He just smooths the map all out. Obviously, the average person would have to pay for tuning. It has many hours of this in it. Whoever buys it is getting a great value on that part

All in all I think dan would say with an AEM and a good tuner you can get good drivability out of most high hp cars. The parameters on the AEM are very abundant.
In my experience most people would rather tune for power and the leave the drivability out to conserve money.

I think matt hodge, front wheel drive srt4.

srt4 won the AWD class? lol that's a new one. the only ones i know of are clark that won the showdown class and bg's evo took the modified street class. dunno about the awd/fwd/rwd classes - although i think the winning time in the awd class was a 12.0? we could have ganked them, phil, LOL.

haha congrats to all the winners. tracy if you ran that time, hells yeah!!

on another note - let's try and keep it civil, huh? no need to bash topspeed or their evo since nothing was said by them. just keep it on the showdown, lol. :D

IF YOU RUN DRAG RADIALS YOU DON'T HAVE TO BURN THE TIRES. The more tyou heat a drag radial the worse they hook in most cases. Slicks are pretty much the pnly tires you need to burn up. Pleus ther track was shitty either due to the heat or prep.
