World's Fastest EVO weighs in at Douglas Autoworks

There has been debate that Mike Reichen's EVO 2 is a lot lighter than it actually is. We were at the shop late tonight and decided to make a video showing the little record setting beast being lowered onto the scales at Douglas Autoworks. With driver it's over 2800 lbs, and that's without the second fire supression installed, the fuel cell and intercooler water tank half filled as well as some additional aero body pannels off of the car. We are about to hit the dyno soon for even more power over our record setting 1127 awhp on a 2.0 4g63, and we have some new improved aero pannels yet to be installed. This year should be interesting to say the least .

On April 2nd & 3rd we will be attending the 2011 Maxton Mile in Maxton, NC. Mike Reichen and his Worlds Fastest Evo are going to attempt to go even faster. We've spent MANY hours modifying the beast for this years racing events. The main concentrations have been in both aerodynamics as well as engine performance. The car will be attending the Maxton Mile with quite a few custom parts fabricated in house. We can't put a guess on how fast the car will go, but theoretically speaking this car should fly this time out. We realize it is quite a far trip for people to come watch but I will say first hand that it's very cool and something you are definitely missing out on if you haven't been to a mile race yet. Maxton is the track at which Mike previously went 237.6MPH about this time last year. Wish us luck and I plan on providing updates throughout the weekend as time permits.
