And it's really pathetic that these cars didn't muster better times (minus that 30K red econobox 
) I mean what's the objective? Shiv (or anyone else) could probably modify their evo a lot more than they did, so a 30K dollar car now with 295mm tires, widebody kit, 20K dollar brakes, 15K coilovers, but what's the objective? (We would really kick some *** then )

Based on these times, my Vishnu Stage 1+ should kick some Lambo, RS6, and M3 a$$. Stage 2 should take care of the rest, with the exception of modded Vipers. Not bad for less than $40K. Of course, the women aren't really throwing themselves at the Evo. The Lambo would win that competition hands down.
Maybe that's why Shiv looks so lonely at the back of the pack. He does seem to have his eye on the chic with the CTS.

haha... it was funny waiting and waiting and waiting for the photog to tell me where to park the car for the cover shot. I had a feeling we wouldn't be up and center since the purpose of the cover pic is to sell mags! So no hard feelings. I'd rather stare at a Mosler than our silly red EVO any day.
It was still a fun event and I'm happy the car did as well as it did (minus the IC hose that kept blowing off). Next year we're going for the overall win dammit!

I wasn't insulting your car or how well you did Shiv (one fight on the forums Shiv and now you think I'm always out to get you). 
I like the idea of a bone-stock contest better than a tuner owned shop car (if the playing field is so open). But then again, I would prefer to just drive my car than read a magazine.

David,
what happened to the Mosler?
also, did everyone run the same tires?
I am very impressed with the Vishnu and the RRE EVO's.... good work guys, good representing on the road coarses!!!! God damnit, I cant wait to track my new EVO.. looks like I might have to crash a 'POC' event or whatever else comes up next...
