    Doesn't matter how built the drivetrain is.something is going to break when you are shooting over 650+ through it. That car was built well. No expense spared. Was it an Asian guy that was driving the car? Edgar knows how to drive his car very well but he has a good friend that has a fast EVO as well. Maybe it was him?

    I hate coming on this site now because its ran by a bunch of stupid kids or stupid adults that act like kids now, but the air obviously needs to be cleaned up.

    Let me just stop you right there and tell you to shut the fuck up because you obviously don't know what the hell you are talking about. Evo's don't need aftermarket half shafts FYI.

    and if the problem is traction then buy tires!!! but i guess since he had a ''driver'' for him driving his car from a 45 roll he deff needs some practice time driving that car
    Always ignorance coming from you..

    Yes you do have to "LAUNCH" an Evo if its going to be ran from a dig. Its not like a Corvette that has a lot of torque at a low RPM and can be eased off the line and still be quick and fast. Evo's need to build boost off line to get a good start. Big turbo Evo's don't start making torque until about 4500 RPM's. I don't know if you've ever been in a big turbo car, but they take time to spool up and won't be worth a damn if it was eased off the line. They can be fast, but not quick. Completely different cars from any N/A LS car.

    Traction isn't much of an issue with these cars so they don't need tires unless you're running around on all seasons.

    Also I don't know where you got this "driver" idea from? No one is his driver. Yes I did drive his car one night because he hurt his hand earlier in the day, but that was a one time occurrence and wasn't going to be the case for that night he wanted to run you.

    Evo's clutch, transmissions, transfer cases are all not cheap if something goes wrong or breaks. Which happens quite often when you make tons of power in a car that only came with 286hp crank from the factory. Why risk breaking something for a fun run?

    I'll race anyone at mostly any speed, but I won't do any digs. Been there done that at the track and split the casing of my transmission. It wasn't fun paying the $3k+ bill to fix.

    And I won't not do digs because I can't drive from a dig, but because its just not worth it to me or some other high HP Evo owners. I've done plenty of Dig runs in the past when I was only pushing 400HP and beat tons of people. I ran a 11.8 @ 110 with a shitty 1.7 60ft fighting for traction. That should show you what kind of driver I am right there. Its not always the "driver mod" when people won't run a certain race. There's always different factors.

    so ams runs stock everything on their cars...you can build it handle a launch...and apparently expense was spared in building the driveline

    ha butt hurt much there...so you are telling me that no evo can be made to launch? Ams uses stock half shafts? You didnt "build" the driveline in a high hp awd car sounds like a cut corner to me but to each their own...i personally like the evos but thanks for solidifying that 90% of evo owners are douche bags and tools and nice time and trap speed

    FyI Ill run my car DIG thru a 35 roll if you guys ever wanna meet up

    Also 1k isnt a fun run... if its gonna be for big money its gonna be a real drivers race not a high roll ..



    I gladly ask for Anyspeed lower than their 45.. who the hell wants to race when shifting once and at 50mph a 200hp more car will pull the fuk outta you im not stupid ! I mean i would have gladly done a dig,10,20,30, roll to make it more of a chance but it had to be 45 plus and for 1k or nothin..

    so go back to wishing your car was ready
    Can't always believe in what people say. You of all people should know people like to talk.

    That night I clearly remember you wouldn't run for a $1000 for any roll even a dig. You wanted to run a slow roll or a dig for $200. You didn't want to run for a $1000 period because you said you've seen this car race and knew it was faster than yours. I have people who witnessed this and remembered what was said. From a 35-45 roll on his Evo he would be shifting 3 times. We're not as fortunate at Corvette owners.

    I don't really even care since it wasn't my race and its in the past. That race probably won't even happen anymore since the car is in the process of being sold.

    My car should be ready soon, so don't worry about that. We can get some runs in once my car is done. This time I'm only doing fun runs whatever roll you want just to keep it FUN and no drama. I don't like coming out to drama and ruins what I do this for, FUN.

    Once again you need to just shut the fuck up because you have no idea what you're talking about again.

    I'm not saying no Evo can be made to launch. Any Evo can launch. When you make over a certain power, its like playing Russian Roulette, just not worth it.

    Evo's don't need aftermarket axles until they make 900+whp. Just because you see AMS and all these other big companies breaking records, you don't think they broke a TON of parts while doing so?

    My Evo and this other Evo didn't cut ANY corners in the driveline. This is not an old school Chevy where you can just throw in a Jerico Transmission and never have to worry about breaking a transmission. Just because you have a built trans in an Evo doesn't mean it won't break. Matter of fact, two launches on my brand new built trans twisted the output shaft, broke the bell housing, and screwed up 4 of my gears.

    I personally like quick Mustangs, but thanks for "solidifying" that 90% of the owners are dumb ass hill Billy's.

    Thanks, that time and trap speed was when I was making half the power I am now.
