Jeebus H Cripes! That's you and Yelo3 in the 9's now, right? Congrats! I know I bugged him already about it, but you wouldn't happen to have any video would you? Hehe

I do love me the Evo II's (My personal fav despite Evo). Glad to see someone out there kickin' some serious *** with one.

Holy smokes!!! I agree w/ Hobie, some video footage of a 9 second run would be fantabulous! Congrats on the killer time.

Congratulation Rob, from all of us here at evolutionm.net. I heard about it great news, not long after you did it. I have been meaning to say how good it is, to hear that after all that work, you have finially broken into the illusive 9 second range. We all wish you the very best and are waiting in hope for my highlights to come.

So you ran 9's in both your Evo III AND Evo II? Damn...you're my new hero. If I get to take a vacation in Australia (it's lookin' like it may happen) I'm gonna hunt you down!

And dont forget... Rob did it with a manual gearbox.... the 2 9sec WRX's in Oz both use autos.....

And from what I understand, Robs car is an Evo 2 with an Evo3 kit.

Go the EVO II

Is it fully street driven? If so, than that is very, very impressive. Been watching the HPI DVD's and they have twin trubo Skylines, Supras and all and are running 10-11 secs maybe 2 would actually get into the 9's and they aren't even street driven.

Cheers

DAMN!!!!!

After viewing your website I have decided that you have one crazzy *** car.

Well Done!

I have heard that the guys at APC do some good work, and this just proves it.

Keep it up.
