"The Myth" of Panama's 900 HP Evo - /TUNED

New video from a channel I subscribe to on youtube. Love this Evo, this has motivated me to stick with mine and build it. Suxs they dont have nice enough roads to actually enjoy the car.

I'm pretty sure the guy who owns this is acknowledged in all the Mellon tuning videos when they post videos. I thought the car was in the states, then I watched more videos and realized that it wasn't. Wish Panama had better roads!

So he says its the fastest car he's been in, the most power hes driven out of a 4 cylinder, AND the most PSI hes seen in a car. That is awesome!

Gary the owner at Race Labs is the greatest person you can every deal with.
If you saw him in the video you can tell.

I was wondering same thing. I lose traction in 1st and 2nd on dry roads. But I do have poor excuses for tires though.

I also wonder about the evo 7 crap. Looks like a vii. And my 768 hp evo would sometimes break loose in 3rd on dry pavement. Maybe he wasn't full throttle. I did see the rear slide out justa tad on one pull. Nonetheless nice car. Seems to make power. Clean. And cool how street able it is.
