:eek: "I believe the Evo 1-3, are the best platforms in 4-Cyl AWD Racing. All the early Evos racing, are very VERY light. Zohebs car weighs exactly 2024lbs with driver and fuel, car has 720hp at engine tuned on engine-dyno. Andres car has around 850 @ crank and weighs around 2000-2050 race ready. I would love to see what youre engine can do in an early Evo at 2000lbs ![http://www.teamnabr.com/ubb/smile.gif](http://www.teamnabr.com/ubb/smile.gif) 180mph traps shouldn’t be impossible. As an example, my car ran 10.52 with 1.49 60-foot last year with 400whp." ---

Evos have definitely picked up some weight since then Matt. My car with a full tank and me has to be hitting 3500. Why were the old ones so much lighter? ---

> [@Sleepy](#): > > No amenities, completely gutted interiors, no sound deadening, removed body parts, no safety stuff (minus roll cage)… Even a stripped Evo8 is not going to be 2000lbs my friend… That’s 1350lbs it would have to lose and that is pretty much impossible from the newer generation of Evo. ---

I wasn’t insiuating that an evo8 can weigh that little, I was just mentioning certain factors that count towards it’s Sam-like weight. ---
