drift evo at formula d

ohh man i dont know if nebody has seen this car but it is bad A$$!!!! i went to drift atl yesterday and saw from wat i understood the first showing of the drift evo 8!!! i talked for a little while with the tech and it does not have that much done to it and is running around 400 rwhp on a stock motor. I think if a drift event is gonna be in your town to stop buy and root for the evo. it is nice to see and buy the way i was allowed to sit in the car

when i talked to the main tech he said that they pulled the front drive shafts plugged everything up and locked the transfercase to make all the power go to the rear. he said he was also gonna look into the rules to do some other things and try to drop the transfer case he told me some other things with the motor quietly but ill just say cosworth is a sponsor

Talking

I was there too! lOVED IT! It was the TOOL car.
Although the evo wasnt very impressive....not lots of smoke, power, it was still cool to see an evo compete. It made it to the top 15.
Did you know that evo was built by Millen's shop. It's Ironic that he builds his competiter's cars too.
I also spoke to the guys, they said it's alot of permanent work. The transfer case was modded by locking diff instead of spyders. Could be done in a days work though.
It had some really wide tires!
Anyone have a spare transfer case we can weild up?????

what a waste of an awd platform... but what fun it must be to tear apart those rear wheels!
