To me, there's no reason to say "Poor evo". There's so many Evo's sold in the US, it's not like an old muscle car which really would be horrible.

I think it's badass. I'm almost proud to live in the same town as this thing.

That's funny you said that, because that happens all the time. My good friend's dad has a '70 chevelle SS 454 convertable, which he made into a race car. it's done 9's and weighs 4000 lbs. So, using expensive cars for drag cars has always been going on. The other thing about this project - the concern for aero - who cares? It's a drag evo. It's cool for being what it is.

People are whining that this guy here up in moorhead is wrecking a supra by doign the same thing, basically. except he just back-halved the car.

Exactly. He's still using the Evo sheetmetal, and the engine.

The people wrecking those rare cars into drag cars are the ones who should get yelled at.

The expensive shell part is for a few reasons... one is because it is the only one. Two I already had it. It will be worth more than it was when it was brand new anyways so honestly what do I care

I could have tried to sell it and buy a junkyard one but its not too easy selling a car with a 10 point in it for any decent amount of money

Nice. Now I know of two things women are good for.

Just kidding.

HiImBrian · 02-17-2007

That like doesn't count as an evo anymore. haha Shit thats so custom! Good luck and cant wait to see it when its done!

rst95eclipse · 02-17-2007

I see you have some prominant members in the DSM/Evo communities posting in your thread. Congraduations, you are now on their radar and they will be watching. As for their statements about it not being an Evo - I think it was funny that AMS stated that they were doing the same thing to an Evo I/II, yet they still called it an Evo. Also, on Buschur's website they have a Pro-Class 98 Talon - still called a Talon. Tell them to correct themselves, then they can make such a statement. Screw all the flack. Build it, race it, and make people jealous.

EvilEvo · 02-17-2007

Buschur was very nice actually. He did go through the same exact shit that I am / will be going through. AMS is clearly jealous / worried because it is obvious that thier car will not compete

Buschur already knows what this car will undoubtedly run when its complete and it obviously doesnt bother him. He sold his Pro RWD that back in the days with 660s and a VPC ran a low 8 or a 7 (Cant remember exactly).

Oh and yes, this is my girlfriends car

I just kinda use it I guess you could say!

I have known Buschur and AMS for a while... Buschur has always been pretty nice to me and AMS has always hated me since my intake manifold design. They tried to belittle me and throw long words at me to make it seem like thier intake manifold was so great... then I showed them what CFD and engineering could provide and they pretty much shut up. Some other interesting crap about AMS is thier time attack car which has been gutted 75% as far as mine (They even cut their roof out). That one is still an Evo though... lol. Or the fact that they pretend that they have pretty much built thier Evo 1/2 (However it becomes a 1/2? They have been trying to sell the car before it was finished for probably 8 months so far and supposedly they did sell it but cant get ahold of the buyer. They said they just havent gotten a chance to work on it for awhile.... doesnt make much sense why they would say that since they sold it

First off, when talking shit (i.e. calling someone a moron) make it a point to not make yourself look like a pretentious asshole in the process by using the correct version of THEY'RE.

Second, nobody likes a cocky prick. Its real easy to come on here and call the guys at the top a joke, but they are their for a reason. You want to beat the ams shop car, thats great. Its undoubtably more of a street car than yours is at this point, and come to think of it so is Sheps. I guess you'll have to run an 8.97@165 or better to back up all this shit talking.

Lastly, since this evo is gods gift to racing will you be racing it against other cars of similar builds in a real race series? Or are you just going to race other street cars so you dont get your ass handed to you by a full weight supra or viper.

I wont bother wasting my time explaining most of this so I wont... I will explain a few things though. I didnt realize anyone on here liked AMS as much as you do and if Id known I would not have made the comment so I apoligize.

I will run the car in Pro RWD or Pro Outlaw RWD depending on the race so there will not be any street cars competing against me... they will all be full tube vehicles like mine, most of which have sponsers and financial backing... all of which I dont so yes, I will get my ass handed to me and enjoy every lashing.

As for the times I expect to run I dont want to even guess but beating an 8.97 better not be too tough

As for the full weight Supras... not sure I have ever seen one run an 8 second pass.. Im sure there are a few I just havent seen them so no, I will run in a quicker class then what they would.

That's what I was confused about. Atleast she's supportive of it all! Those are the girls to keep around!

EvilEvo · 02-17-2007

I bought if for both of us. The car is in her name, I just pay for it. We both enjoy it so whoevers car that ends up being I suppose.

SLOW_V · 02-17-2007

Who cares about the haters. It is your ride and your choice. Allot of folks will jump the band wagon when you break records and kiss your ass. Keep up the good work and keeping reality into check. I know allot of folks do allot of talking and can't get the first spark plug out of their car.

**scheides** · 02-18-2007

Guys, this is the PROJECT forum, not the SANDY VAGINA forum. EvilEvo, please keep the shit talking to a minimum and the updates to a maximum

Everyone else, unless you have something worth-while to say, please take it elsewhere (i.e. create a new thread in the off-topic forum (parking lot) since you're whining will only further drag the topic of this thread into the gutter.

This is an insane build-up. Let's grow up and watch it unfold. If evil wants to boast a little, let him. Wouldn't you if this thing was in your garage?

Super Bleeder!! · 02-19-2007

I was just reading your thread on EvoM. AMS and Buscher sure are being complementary about your work.

Its too bad you have to come on this board and talk shit about them.
