I see tons of them at the local Steel Cities and North Park SCCA auto-x’s. There is probably an average of 6 Evo’s at every event. Some of which are absurdly quick, I might add.

Superninjaedit = It appears you put some work into that sled, what are plans driving-wise? Stoplight to stoplight flexing, drag or track duty?

Most of the hard driving on mine will be auto-x but also want to be able to post decent drag times

14

People still drive those things?

15

37R you puss…

16

Im at work cant get the pics of mine till I get home. Go 40R or 42r. Much more fun trust me :wink:

17

4508 >*

18

yeah most def, being built and if your aiming for 1000 or so horsies

19

It’s on my list for next rear, right beside the ford 8.8.

20

Man , I was thinking on the lines of around 650-700 haha.

It is still a street car with all of the heavy shit still in her.

I dont just want a total highway / dyno queen.

I am open for debate though.

T70 you have had several different sized turbo’s. What is your opinion

I know with the HTA35R Buschur has been puting out mid/low 10 second cars on 93 octane with mph around 135 mph on pump. And getting these cars on the HTA35R in the low low 10’s and 145-146 range on C16.

I honestly will not be happy with anything less than 140 mph+ traps out of the car with minimal weight reduction. And it looks like the 35R can get it done ??
