Go to that site then you will see the vid in there, just right click on it and then "copy to folder" and just copy it to your comp.
Blah blah blah. A 390 HP car won a drag race. Woohoo!!

The pictures of KC's ex (wheel cleaner) are always nice to see though.

Not to criticize anyone but I don’t understand the desire to determine the speed of a car base on a ¼ of a mile. Its cool that the EVO can go fast in a strait line but it was not designed for that. When any of those big blocks have to turn or brake its all over.

Mustangs guys get so gitty when it comes to beating an EVO. It slays me. Was that Li'l John filming and narating.

If the story is true and the Evo guy did call out the Mustang then Evo guy got what he deserved. A nice whooopin'.

here are his mods from another forum:

"Alright guys, Let me clear up some of the confusion. First off the $7k was a quick estimate. It includes all that I have spent. I should have taken the time to actually calculate it up so I can give a better figure on the mods on the car now. Most of the cost comes from my $700 clutch plus $1000 install. Yeah I know I paid mitsu to do it. Here's my mods:
Clutch $700
Flywheel $350
Install $1000
Hks Evc 5 EBC $600
S-afc 2 plus ecu harness $500
3" TB $600
Cat delete $50
Tranny fluid $50
Center and rear diff fluid $25
Turbo XS BOV $150
HKS RS Intake $300
Helix Catch Can $75
Crappy Falken tires $500
Denos Iridium plugs $50
And whatever little miscellaneous stuff I can't remember. So more like $4950. Sorry for the bad estimate. Today, I could prolly get alot of that stuff cheaper. Beings I bought mostly everything right after they first brought the Evo's over it was much more expensive."

So basically his "power mods" are:

Flywheel $350
Hks Evc 5 EBC $600
S-afc 2 plus ecu harness $500
3" TB $600
Cat delete $50
HKS RS Intake $300

What was the Evo guy thinking when he called the Mustang out?

Will we EVER see any nice vids of EVO's SMOKING other cars ??? It seems that a lot of people bring Vids from other sites to show how slow the evo is vs other drag cars. Last time i checked this is www.EVOLUTIONM.net post up some vids of EVO's Destroying other cars PLEASE.

Mods or not looking at what is spent don't mean anything. The EBC could be used with a bc AFC is 280 for an afc 2 and harness is about a 100. Not 500, and even then it isn't 500 worth of perforamcne it is 280, the fluids aren't gonna show much of a difference. Nor the catch can and the plugs doubt much. The tires are a downgraded mod, bov won't do anything for him. so looking at that in mods that will help him is about 1800 if that. Clutch, intake exhaust and afc.

It's not what you spend it's what you pay for...

7K in mods with someone having a clue as to how to properly modify, will yield a 500 plus wheel hp evo on "pump gas."

Motec
Clutch
Turbo/Header
Cams
Tranny Build
Alcohol Inj.
FMIC
Turbo Back
Air Suction

Hell even a stroker kit...

Maintenance items should not be on the list. Don't cobras have like 390hp? Those things are fast and have gobs of torque.

I'm totally with you there. This car is not intended for straight line. That's why this car doesn't look funny i.e funny cars
