VIDEO: What Cold weather does to your evo!

So I thought it would be smart to try and get traction on a barely prepped track, idiots driving through the water pits then running right away, and 30 degrees out.

So a friend of mine as you can hear in the background owes the guy taping money because I didn't blow anything I just kept losing traction.

What car were you racing against I cant tell. It looks like he had no problems? Maybe your tires? I agree not ideal cond. for racing any car really. Just could not help notice the other car seemed fine.

That's because the other guy's car was terribly weak. It only trapped 88mph, so it had only 150-170whp or so. Nesiop's car traps 120+ on a GT35R, so he probably has close to triple the other car's HP. That would explain the difference...

Looks like a B5 A4 1.8t. They come from the factory with only 88whp. QUATTRO TORSEN in effect

88whp? What? It wouldn't trap anywhere near 88mph with 88whp. Don't those have 170-180bhp stock? That would be way more than 88whp.

Just under 150bhp bone stock. Consider quattro/torsen inefficiencies. Cars are fat at around 3800+ if I recall. Also consider it was likely not stock
