Reid is just going nuts with his car and he will put the highest dyno ever achieve in AZ. Also Reid already had a high whp Evo setup before he reconverted to the GT42R. So yeah, I must agree he is not one of the talkers, he says and he does it.
Topnotchevo car (mid 600whp)was at Firebird last night but I want to swear up and down it did not look like that car was as quick as it suppose to be. From watching it at the track it did not look like it could be trapping 125mph at the 1/4 mile like it once did.

that was Topnotches car but he no longer owns it. i heard he filed BK & the bank took it. UMS Tuning then bought the car from the bank. it is still making 668whp/612TQ but the guy said it needs suspension & brakes as it was setup as a drag car...
HouseDJ,
Thanks for the update. I choose not to comment on the ownership aspect because I am also aware of the circunstances but did not want to mention it, you know me, I am a very friendly and respectful guy.
As far is UMS obtaining the car, I am not surprise, I was talking to the actually UMS mechanic back in April(at the NOPI event when Dre introduced me to his personal mechanic) and off course I can understand very well that Topnotchevo's car could be a easy target/purchase for UMS in case of financial mishaps..
I was crossing my fingers last night to not see the UMS tuning red Evo(ex topnotchevo's car) break the TC again. Remember that car already had 3 TC failures, last time at the NOPI nationals.
I mentioned before that I was watching the car race last night and I almost want to swear that the car did not look as fast as a 600 ish whp would look.
I personally took pictures of the car and I wacthed most of the brackets in which he raced. Yes it was fast but I thought that a 600whp plus could do better.
It might be possible they had it a bit "detuned" for reliability. Whatever the case might be I was glad to the the car on the road and actively participating at the event and actually being the fastest of the bracket(ahead of the Z06 vettes).
I was actually looking for Dre(topnotchevo) . Is he still around? I saw the new silver Porsche 997 and I thought it was his car. Any word on that?

Looks like instead he may be driving a geo metro.

Don't feel like you are a shade of Reid's car(Gaijin), in my opinion your car is well above average in all aspects.
While Reids car has indeed one of the best Evos set up in the country you are not far behind. Your car is perhaps the cleanest electric blue I have seen around and it is also very fast. You don't drive a average Joe smosh Evo, many people on this forum wish they had a nice setup as yours.
In my opinion your car is one of the most respectable cars in this region. You also should be proud of your car no matter where you go, you have a lot of mods also. Say hello to your wife, she was nice when I was talking to her.
What a pity Evo9grl couldn't come to the event..
