Given the scope of the competition, the Focus deservedly won.
My $.02 on the Evo build:
- Should have never brought an RS ... no ABS (duh)
- What's with the ghetto flat black and riced-out stickers?![Thumbs Down](https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/images/smilies/smilie_thumbsdown.gif)
- Interior build ... what interior build? My Evo's interior looks better, and I'm no professional builder...
- Engine build ... not so impressive. Maybe they should have let Tuning Technologies handle the engine build along with the tuning.
Overall a very disappointing Evo build.![Crap](https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/images/smilies/crap.gif)

Im amazed i thought they were never going to air the last episode. I gave up on watching like a month ago.......
i was expecting a higher number from skunk on the evo
......... i rember them saying something that they made over 600 on another dyno..idk..
no doubt that it was a fast car.....would have at least painted it somthing. BBY perhaps......

This show really sucked. It's called Street Tuner Challange not "Show Car Build", or "Track Prepped Car". The only real street car was the Focus. That mini was total garbage. Would anyone actually drive that on the street?! Same with the EVO. Lose the stickers and yellow headlights. And what's with the % testing? IMHO they should have chosen cars much more evenly matched from the start. If it weren't for the % points the EVO would have surely dominated. And for god sakes get a car with ABS and have an evo tuner build the car instead of a Honda builder! I think AMS could have tore that car a new hole! I'm just venting now. That show really pissed me off...

^ I didn't mind the % comparison. That's what makes the competition fair, IMO, and allows them to run vastly different cars against each other. 301% improvement in power on the Focus was pretty damned impressive, even though it resulted in an almost untrackable car. The torque steer must have been insane. ![PC Freak](https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/images/smilies/freak.gif)

The Evo turned a tad under a 1:25 at Willows (big track) on DOT street tires....That is crazy fast....The car will easily be in the sub 1:22 range in race trim....Nigel Mansel did 1:19:XX in a Formula 1 at Willows and GT3's generally turn 1:25 - 1:30 (on slicks)...So, I have to say the car is in great company

Especially when the car had absolutely no development time to work on setup, not too shabby...

What the 2 above said. I have rode with a couple of drivers doing 1.30's on big Willow and that seemed DAMNED fast to me.
A 1.25 is incredible make no mistake about it that is getting up on the wheel for sure. Damned few on this board could do anything close to that on the big track I'm willing to bet. Before the flame I'm sure there are some but it would be the exception not the rule.
