I'm just curious, but where are all you guys? I mean, granted there are more than 50 vehicles in Pittsburgh, but I don't see anyone on the road and in a given week I cover North, West, and South Pittsburgh and I've only seen 1 Black Evo about 3 weeks ago.

Were out there, somewhere? .....I drive all the time as well and never run into fellow evo drivers....Well I did run into an evo owner in Bellevue one night, he was in an eclispe and scared the crap outta me...haha, but thats another story (btw Mike we still have to meet up sometime, but please no sneak attacks )

I think maybe your mustache intimidates us!!

Im from the north hills there Tom! I've got a black evo and seem to be always out driviing so that might have been me you saw. Yea i wish i could make the test and tune, but way to busy today. So is anyone going to road race this season or are we just drag racing our cars? Hopefully we can get a group together for a flat out day at beaver run. I do like to drag, but our cars are so dam good in the twisty's. Oh well just giving you guys ****! mostly because i can't make it tonight.

I'm just curious, but what is the Test & Tune? Is it just a line'm up and race 1/4 mile with a pit for you to work on your car, or....?

yes its at pittsburgh raceway park. Its a real 1/4 mile track. you just go and pay $20 and you get to run as many times as you can in the alotted time. usually i'd say about 5 times. As for pits. you really just park in a open lot. Its alot of fun if you've never done this before. but beware of our dreaded clutches. Alltho steelcity seems to have some sorta invincible stock one. . funny tho because I've actually launched my car more auto-x the past month then ever at the strip. lol.

not bad but not better, i only got 1 run in all night long those pieces of $hit v-8 slick cars kept breaking and fockin up the track so i couldnt even dial in more boost or anything plus i raced on the 18's little more weight plus rolling diameter. but all and all 12.30@112.88mph with the clutch stinkin it up only a 1.80 60ft thats a full 1/10th off of the norm

i dont have a problem with bigblocks and all but these guys i am not joking when i say that about 40% of them broke on the track and killing everyones track time. thats why those cars in particular are pieces of $hit. not a single failure on the street class
