Did you see the Evo on Super2NR TV today?

It was Super2NR episode 14; you can check to see when it will be on TV again at TNN'S website.

They tested a bunch of cars from 2 Fast 2 Furious, including the green Evo VII. The Evo managed only a 15.4 in the 1/4, while the pink S2000 did a 13.9! They did say that most of the cars were Hollywood versions that had extra crap in them for filming and they probably weren't tuned optimally.

Probly not a real Evo but a Lancer with a kit. 15's in an Evo without launching? That just don't compute.

They said it felt like an Evo, kind of. "Rode hard and put away wet" was the quote I believe.

Could have extra weight from the movie, anytihng they might have added to it, to produce the movie. I doubt it was a Lancer instead of an EVO with all the cars they have in the movie already.

I have it taped... Yes it's a real EVO VII... Did great on the skid-pad... Can't explain the high 1/4 times cause they didn't actually show it... What is wierd is that they said they filmed it in January or February I think... But in the background, they have a red EVO VIII parked there... ?? Strange...

MTV is showing the making of Ludacris' song for the movie "Act a fool"! In the video they show the Evo with the hood open and it does have a 4g63 motor! Also I think that Luda's NSX has the worst paint job ever.
