WORKS wins Import Tuner's Evo vs. STI 5 Lap Battle
WORKS Motorsports wins the Import Tuner EVO vs. STI shootout
Buttonwillow, California (November 6, 2007) WORKS Motorsports won the prestigious 5 Lap Tuner Shootout during the Import Tuner and Hankook sponsored EVO vs. STI shootout at Buttonwillow Raceway Park. The event included six Mitsubishi Evolution’s and six Subaru STI’s competing in a Time Attack portion (fastest single lap) and a cumulative 5-lap average around the famed Buttonwillow race track.
Facing stiff competition, the factory WORKS driver David Brown used consistency and smoothness to take the overall victory. “The WORKS street prepared Time Attack EVO was setup aggressively for the Time Attack portion but the power and overall consistency of the package allowed us to come out on top this afternoon for the 5-lap shootout”, stated Mr. Brown. WORKS utilized a mid-level boost tune to provide just enough power to satisfy the quest for speed versus reliability. Changing track conditions and temperature required constant changes to the chassis which allowed the WORKS EVO to make the most of its Hankook supplied racing tires.
WORKS would like to thank Import Tuner Magazine, Hankook Tires and Buttonwillow Raceway Park for putting on a fantastic event. The competition was fierce and track management was first rate. WORKS Motorsports looks forward to future events such as this.

Congrats Oliver, Kirk, Pete and the rest of the crew!
Wow... is that the AMS TA1? That is a sick picture with the rotors glowing and the flame popping out.

The RS is still Kirk's and we'll leave it up to him as to what he does (not) want to disclose. I can say that nearly everything on the car can be purchased from our website. The one notable exception is the turbo. WORKS can still provide that as well, but typically involves some custom fabrication during install. The other thing is that the RS still retains a fully functional A/C, radio, etc... and for what it is, is still very streetable. Not that I'd want to commute with the full cage and spring rates in the teens
