Re: My Winter Project....

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.
