I don’t see a construction zone ? I also didn’t see any traffic other than 2 cars in the front on 2 separate occasions. It’s not “in traffic” it’s coming up into traffic while a car is going fast. Back to sharing coupons and arguing about politics ---

Getting in some action! - - - Updated - - - [quote=“jay\_g,post:4,topic:272416"”] Why do all the evo guys drive around on the street with a parachute [/quote] Because they need them for the track. Some kits make it so you can remove it via pin but I haven’t looked at the Evo ones. My Nova chute will likely stay on as well due to me not wanting to play the on/off game. Likely the same reason for these guys. ---

I haven’t looked but I believe you just remove the license plate and can pull the kit off and pull the cable back thru but that’s more work than I want to do when I go to the track almost every week and barely drive the car during the week. Plus it looks bad ass ! Lol [http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/parts/stm\_evo\_parachute\_kit.htm](http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/parts/stm_evo_parachute_kit.htm) ---

If this evo really is fast enough to need one for the track then I get it. Congrats on the win. ---

The gt500 was just because he was the next fastest. We make the same horsepower. He makes more torque. Mine is just lower weight. I just watched a video on YouTube (might be in related videos) of a evo same mods with built motor making more power could barely keep up with a Shelby so idk > [@cougarspeed](#): > > Are you going to the track Friday?
