This has been a long time coming. STM has had an awesome run for the past 5 years with the blue “Ricer” Evo, but, let’s face it, that car was never a dedicated “drag” car. HID’s, leather, full interior and full glass simply don’t designate a shop car as a real drag car. Still, with an 8.75 and 167 mph trap speeds, the Ricer was showing the world how a 2.0 liter street car gets down!
The next step for the Ricer would be to start cutting… and that is just one of the things our crew simply can’t bring ourselves to do. Anyone who has seen the Ricer in person knows this is a show car. It just happens to be really fast.
So, STM is very excited to announce that it’s time to go balls to the wall and set some records straight with our 2005 Evo RS!
It was a drag car, but compared to other shop drag cars… well, it didn’t. Which is what set it apart, too. But to have the chance to cut and gut and properly cage…
I like the way you guys think! Ok white car is fast but we’re gonna sell it… Didn’t get what we wanted so we’ll put it back to stock… Nah fuck it, we’ll gut the bitch and make it get some records!!
I believe right now the car is sitting around 2100 pounds. It has a stock motor and FP Red ball-bearing turbo. First on the list is to go re-claim the stock motor record!
I think they already have the MPH with cessna’s Evo at like 152 or something on the stock block, but someone else has the ET record at like 9.6 or something like that? I’m sure with the car being this light they will set both records no problem with a FF setup.
