First of all, it is really amazing that the AMS car was as quick as it was. Stock motor, 30R turbo, more weight, etc compared to my 35R, 2.3, etc. Of course, Eric can drive his **** off, but my buddy Mike (who drove my car) can too. But here were the results of the two Evos, which battled for 1st and 2nd place in EVERY acceleration test:

----------0-60---1/4-------20-100
TTech8 3.30 11.30@124 6.89
AMS X 3.28 11.40@118 7.00

0-60 in 3.28! Not bad!

I wonder what the drag car 0-60s? I'd say somewhere between 1.5-2.0 seconds.

The Skunk2 Evo is not a street car, it wouldn't have belonged in this particular competition. Here is a link to my writeup on SolCalEvo.net: http://www.socalevo.net/index.php?op...&topic=68669.0
