I know a bunch of you don’t like him on here, but this is really impressive no matter who it is. I saw it on his facebook this week, he finally got his car into the 8’s. 8.81 @ 167 to be exact! On EvoM, they keep track of the fastest and quickest Evos every year, going back to 2006. From what I could find, this run is the second fastest Evo ever (I think, they didn’t keep records past 2006 that I could find). AMS went 168 in 2006, but no one has gone over 167 since! The video shows that he took the long way down the track too :lol: [ https://youtu.be/aEGdwzvJwm4 ](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEGdwzvJwm4&feature=share) ---

The original STM has a manual trans. in the car with a different shifter mechanism they’ve designed. When they broke AMS’s record AMS conceded that it doesn’t allow them to shift any faster, but would be more consistent. Neonglh the APC Evo went into the 7’s in 2008. As someone so interested in drag racing Evos I find it hard to believe that you don’t know about any of the fast Evos except for the AMS car, but it’s good that you clarified you were making this claim for STM, not they themselves.
