badass video, love how the evo sounds. but why is the 60-0 braking test worse than a stock Evo X??

That 1/4 time seems horrid for the trap. What was the 60 time? I'm thinking tires and gearing stopped some low 10s out of this thing.

Must be the tires. The 360 tread rating is really high. The stockers are 180.

Overkill and a waste of money for a Evo X .... did u guys see the cost $84k+; For a dedicated racecar this might be a cool idea.
As much as I like the EVO (and I own two) for this much money I get GTR....

slowboi, i think he got the 84k from the edmunds link. this is what it said;

Price: $41,000 parts, $10,000 labor $33,590 (base Evo X for 2010) = $84,590

Have you read that they swapped out the tranny to stock gearing?

AMS: good job guys. Puts a smile to my face knowing i bought a car that has potential.
