my refresh button is getting a workout.

 

BTW
I did 9.2 that time with an old GT40R of a old used Honda turbo AKA GT40/67R

but don't you worry that we are also looking in to test the famous HTA

 

Pepperoni and sausage for me!

 

LOL... Time will tell

 

That's because you're basing your knowledge on what you've read on the internet and what you've been told second hand. You don't have all the facts correct. I'll give you one fact that's not correct and although Mike's car was originally Curt's at one time it was not bought from him directly not to mention it was not ready to go race as you suggested. When you need to know the rest of the real facts you know who to call!

BTW. Speaking about facts!
You said 'I' in the above statemnt? Did you ment to say 'we' or the hired driver?
Just trying to get the 'facts' correct.

 

vwjeff, thanks for pointing that out. The guy (who I still can't remember his name) from with the black AMS car is very cool, everytime I have met him he has been. Car looked great and ran great. It was on a trailer (I would to, that's a long drive) and on Hoosiers. Eric, Jeff and Tim drove there, least miles driven to and from race I'd say was 200 and the most was 600+. Times were from 10.0 to 10.4, MPH from 145-146 mph, all drove back home too, not a single problem from any of them.

My RS, for what it's worth, I don't know why the heater hose blew off. A long time ago I screwed up and cut the ends off the heater core where it sticks through the firewall. I thought it was the pipe for the A/C (yes, stupid). So the ends of my heater core do not have the factory bead roll on them, the hose is just pushed over the end of it, nothing to hold it. I never considered it before but it was pretty stupid. The hose came off and the clamp is inside the car. Is the engine or head gasket hurt? Maybe but I don't know. All I know is I am grateful Trent didn't get burnt. If the car is hurt big freaking deal, I'll fix it and go back out. Running times on par with GT42's with a 35r that was driven to the track and ran 9.4, four or five 9.5's and a 9.6 if it did get hurt it deserved to. My peak boost was 38 psi so I doubt it hurt it.

 

As said above, the AMS car was on Hoosier Quicktime Pro's. He went .07 seconds and 2 MPH faster than my car on crappy street tires. Hardly a 35R killer.

I also drove 600 miles round trip....not on a trailer.

 

Anything is posible @ Force Performance so don't state that the HTA was not been done as one off prototype!

Robert will do anything to innovate anyturbo thats what they do and thats how is done true the people in the racing scene!

 

This is all pretty stupid.

I am getting pissed off again for nothing.

Here are the facts:

AMS is the quickest EVO 8, end of story, regardless of 8.56 or 8.71, quicker than we are.

Buschur Racing is the fastest, 172.74 mph and that was on IRS.

Curt Brown holds the ET record for a GT35r at 9.33.

David Buschur holds the MPH record for a HTA35r at 155.51 and Trent as the wheel man. THANKS TRENT!

The next thing that is going to happen is SOMEONE is going to go quicker and faster than all of those times. Who is it going to be? Nobody knows for sure.

At the end of the day two things are remembered, WHO IS THE QUICKEST AND WHO IS THE FASTEST.

At the end of the day I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED.

This fighting is pointless and is going to get all of nowhere. A few years ago someone asked "Who is going to have the fastest EVO?" My answer has not changed and is, "Who ever sticks with it the longest and spends the most money." It takes time and money mostly. Both of those will get you everything else you are looking for. You can find and hire talent with time, if you can afford it.

I was dead set against ever gutting an EVO and ruining a perfectly freaking awesome car. We had no choice as nobody said, "Well Buschur is the best because they can run 10.0 in a full weight EVO that can go on a road course with the a/c on." They said "TT (at that time) is the fastest", there was no statement like this, "TT is the fastest but it's a gutted POS that can only drag race." (not referring to their car as a POS, just making a point)

At the end of the day it's who is setting the record that is remembered.

We all better get to work.

 

I think DB handles being on top rather well. For all the haters, remember:
To cure jealousy is to see it for what it is, a dissatisfaction with one self.

 

dude you are all talk... fuel funds?
Ricer excuse #1. My car is "fast" but gas is expensive, so I will proly just watch this 1.

If you do come up man, I like yellow peppers and extra cheese. Don't worry I will pay you for the pie, that way you have money for gas.

 

Some don't have the knowledge or the experience to know that there's a difference. Normally those are the same ones that destroy the main body structure engineered from factory to have a stable chassis neccessary for at least applying a lot of power to the pavement safely.
Let's see how much of these cry babies actually show up for the DSM/EVO shootout
Cry babies stay and fight on the internet with their dyno sheets.
Real racers take it to the track and do real battle. That win light the lights up brightly at the end of the track is what really matters!
Some will just never get that point.

 

here's a nice pic so you can learn and take ideas

Let me address a few things you stated.

Comparing theoretical weights of the two cars are like stating "on a DynoJet this car would make xxx HP" Until both cars get on the same scales, its all just a guess at best.

Evos running as quick as the AMS, BR, etc drag cars will always have a hard time backing runs up in the same day due to reliability issues of pushing them so hard. Did your Evo back up the 172 on the same outing (or at all for that matter)?

A portion of the door SKIN came off the AMS Evo. Not the door. Unfortunately the epoxy holding the inner and outer layers of carbon fiber was not up to the task.

Isnt the highly touted BR built Bad Bish II from NY running not only carbon front doors but carbon rear doors too? I would think you wouldnt care what doors the AMS Evo had on it.

While you personally have not made mention of the gripes you have with the AMS car, your spokesperson does it for you. I am sure you know who I mean.

I am not crying or whining. I am simply stating that you have taken your Evo out of the "class" that everybody else is playing in.




Your car IS back halved. Your car is NOT tubbed.

It is possible that others may also back half their cars but I dont think its likely.
