Just saw on FB Simon Norris posting a new world record for his evo 9. Going 8.225@169.17 mph. 1.270 60ft !!!

 

I haven't kept up with his Evo(s) in a long time is there anymore info you can share with the rest of us?

I don't remember seeing this 9 before???

 

theres hardly anything on the car that qualifies it as an evo of any sort. but thats just my observation. I thought the car was cool when it was a nice 2 dr evo.

 

OK so it is the same one i was thinking of from yrs back that was 2 door

 

I don't know the full specs, but it looks like an evo. It is not a dedicated drag car, it competes in Time Attack UK. I could only find this video. There should be a better one somewhere soon.

doesnt have an evo driveline anymore. nissan I believe. only thing left evo is 4g63 engine and some body panels. for some still an evo. for me. I love seeing mitsubishi platforms pushed to limits. but once a major part of the platform is changed its no longer that platform. its an anything goes purpose built race car.

 

Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I agree, thats not an evo anymore. Its as much an evo now as Jeff Gordons Nascar cup car is still a Chevrolet SS.

 

haha nice. good comparison too^

 

Too bad AMS beat him to 7's on the gtr that is

 

I agree. When i praise an evo record, i take pride when i knowing its got all the guts.

 

Goes well for a circuit racing car guys doesn't it! Run on 17" ET Streets and no aero, apart from that the exact same spec we circuit race the car with nearly 3 degrees camber!

Still a chassis car but with 10" out the middle and 3" out the roof, just for marketing reasons. The car runs a Holinger RD6-S sequential gearbox (same as V8 super car) and is MOT'd and road legal in the UK. Its pretty heavy too (much heavier than a dedicated drag Evo) at 2650Lbs WITHOUT driver.

We have some much better videos in car to be edited and put up early next week.

The next target is 7's!!!

Thanks

this thing is flying.

 

that is a beast

 

Yeah that car is moving!
