Thumbs up AMS Time Attack EVO X featured on Car and Driver.com!

A Chicago company prepares another goes-like-heck Evo for SEMA....



We here at C/D headquarters are big fans of the tenth-generation Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. The Evo beat out the Volkswagen R32 and Subaru WRX STI in a comparison test, while the go-fast MR model scorched a wicked time at our latest Lightning Lap showdown.

But for tuners, fast is never fast enough. That’s why AMS Performance saw fit to upgrade a 2008 Evolution GSR for this year’s SEMA show. Chicago-based AMS claims 460 horsepower at the wheels, and roughly 560 at the crankshaft. Compare that with the stock car, which makes just 291 ponies at the crank.....

...Many of the upgrades are components made by AMS and are available directly from the company, so that Joe the plumber can build his own 560-hp Evo...
