Anyone saw the Import Tuner Challenge??

Last night on Speed they have an hour show of the Import Tuner Challenge. Red Evo 9 was one of the three cars. Look like the Evo gonna fly. It's also feature the PeakBoost top mount turbo kit. Looks like the Evo gonna kick some serious a$$.

I planned on watching but missed it because I was working on my car. Was it good? Why are they running a top mount?

The third car is a Ford Focus. Surely the other two teams can't seriously think they will have a chance on any of the track parts of the competition. They might have a chance on the non-track parts of the competition.

Yeah I saw some of the show. It was a Mini vs Evo vs Focus. I didn't see the end, but I'm sure the Evo dominated everything.

In my opinion, pitting the Evo against a Mini and a Focus is a bit of an insult to the Evo. But that's just my opinion.

don't be too sure on the evo winning the track portions. In one of the previous seasons i remember a Honda Fit posting better lap times than the 700hp Skyline.

I had to laugh when the Seibon rep was saying how much lighter than stock thier carbon fiber products are.

GO EVO GO!

and props to the Mitsubishi dealership for taking part in the competition
