WTF AMS needs to......

Get some frickin videos of their car around a track or autox'ing.

Guys I'm really sick of seeing the evo go in straight lines . AMS needs to pull some hardcore drifts in a parking lot or do some donuts or anything that involves it getting out of control and spinning rubber.

Yea a 800whp evo might not handle well but wouldnt it'd be a blast to seE?

They would swapped the 2.0 for the 2.3 for OnelapofAmerica, but Martin has been wanting to see what the car could really do at the track and it has done well!!

I think it would be cool to see a 800hp drag car on a road course, even if the turbo does lag.

I dont think they made an 800HP evo, to do parking lot cone-dodging, they have to have a car set-up for that. This beast is just a strait liner! That is my guess.

AMS doesn't have to do anything just because you're unhappy.

When you own AMS, you can do whatever you want to do.
Just another useless post that takes up space.

While I would like to see videos of AMS taking their car around the track, drag racing is still much more popular in this country. A lot of people tend to associate a car's performance with its straight-line acceleration capabilities.

Whereas you have to be on a track to show off a car's ability to handle tight corners and such, straight-line performance can be exhibited on a stretch of straight road. Straight-line power also gives the owner "bragging rights," and smoking "M3s, Vipers, Ferraris, etc" seem to bring about joy to many Evo owners.

As a business, it would be smarter for AMS to post videos of highway pulls because quite frankly, it will attract more customers than clips of them dodging cones in a parking lot.

That's just the way it is.
