Checkmate! Reichen's NEW EVO RECORD 237 MPH!!!

IN CAR VIDEO IS ON PAGE 6 OF THIS THREAD!


I just got off the phone with Mike Reichen at Hot Rod Magazine's Street Car Challenge standing mile competition. At base pressure of 24 psi it went 202mph. After checking the datalog and seeing everything with the track was OK, he put the boost controler back in and set it for "KILL" mode. Mike Reichen's EVO 2 just took back the World's fastest EVO record as well as the World's fastest Mitsubishi record with a heart stopping 237 MPH!!! This is in a full metal panel, full glass, carpet, all door panels, headliner street class EVO that weighs over 2750 with driver with a off the shelf Borg Warner S400 74mm.



Mike would like to thank all of the guys at www.douglasautoworks.com
for all of there hard work. They left no stone unturned in the effort of making sure everything mechanicaly and fabrication wise was correct, and had the car ready in time.

Shearer Fabrications for an ultra efficient header and intercooler that can't be beat!

Class One Engines out of Freeport, IL. Without there excellent machine work and attention to detail the 4g63 wouldn't stay together after a punishing 1,000+ awhp for 1 mile.

Head Dynamics for a excellent port job that can make over 1,000 awhp at only 40 psi.

Arias Pistons for there rock solid pistons that can handle anything Mike throw's at them.

All of his friends that support him and help him achieve what a couple of years ago was considered impossible in a little white 4 door box on wheels!

Two worthy side notes, Mike's EVO drove itself onto the trailer (still running perfect), and it's a new door slammer record for Maxton which is a rough track vs. Texas mile.

Awesome number. Even more impressive is that he set the track record and they allow twin turbo V8's there.
