Edmunds Inside line Test: AMS EVO X 900X Package *VIDEO*

Recently the boys at Edmunds.com asked for an AMS Built EVOX to test. We decided they needed to experience a 900X package for themselves. The tires were a bit tired with more than three days of track competition on them resulting in some fun four wheel burnouts lol. For a 340 treadwear tire they did pretty damn good though.

Can I make a request to evaluate the 900X too? I'd like to experience as well.

Well keep in mind as Edmunds tested it the car was not at full tilt...far from it. A customer has already gone low 10's in the 900x package...10.1 I believe actually. The way they tested it was in road race trim so the power levels were dialed down a bit

i love how some people are just that stupid to think that $80k is alot for a car that produces close to 900 horse and can handle exceptionally well.

Put that car in kill mode with good tires and a good driver and the #'s would change a bit...

Sorry, i was just reading through the comments on the bottom...


Another great build from AMS!!!

Great job guys!

Might need to try out one of those 900x turbos on the hillclimb car for 2011.

Has AMS considered doing a 900X MR build? Sort of a poor man's GTR. Sort of.

Top Gear USA

Ok, put some good tires on there, fix the trans, put it in kill mode and call Top Gear USA. I'd love to petition the show and have the Stig take it out for a lap.

I don't think the SST will hold that much power.
