AMS Teams up to build a Standing mile EVO
 

One of close friends and customers Tommy P has decided to build a REALLY cool car for a unique form of racing. Tommy is no newbie to motorsports either. You might remember his red evo from a past sport compact car ultimate street car challenge. His car dominated just about every event until he had an oil pump failure on the last leg costing him the event.

Hes not one to be defeated though as he now brings his pride and joy to AMS to help team up with us on building a MPH monster! The car just showed up today but you can already see its got some nice work done to it. I will keep you all updated in this thread as we modify this monster for some standing mile competition and to even compete on the Bonneville salt flats!

Beautiful... With those meats and brakes I was thinking Ummmmm road race/ top speed car...Then I saw the chute. Brakes like that must be used on the roadcourse.

I can see it now, "AMS built car breaking sound barrier!"

Good luck Fellas!

Good luck with the car if you have some questions holler at me.. I have 4 bikes with 27 world records in the mile.. I havent run a car there but i can get some answers from guys i know if you have questions about tech rules etc..

Awesome project to undertake! I just finished reading Car & Driver's 0-200 MPH-0 challenge and was impressed by the figures those beasts put down....I can't wait to see the progress you guys make with this already sinister looking Evo!

Good luck with the build!!

nice@!!!

Bonneville, Here we come! I am holding you to that Tommy boy.

looks good

Don't forget to take it to the texas mile

Texas mile is a much cleaner track than maxton NC.. Only thing is the weather and winds allow you to go faster in NC in most cases..

dude what kinda brakes are those? Those things are HUGE

Use your eyes, alcon with stasis rotors.

funnly i dont see where it says "alcon".. a--on..

Alright guys here is your competition. Last year at the SORC Mike Reichen with his EVO 2 went 215.9 on a 2 lane highway and let me tell you it was fun to watch him do it. Made me feel a little slow in my almost stock VIII. I can't wait till this August to see what people bring. Before last year the record was 201 so needless to say Mike shattered the old record.

We are good friends with mike. we actually sponsored is old 1G Red talon drag car a while back.
