Mitsubishi all day everyday. Welcome to the HOOD.

 

welcome aboard. there is much to learn here my friend. I try to read as much as I can on here. It's a shame about your ride, hey how much power were you making on that thing anyway?

 

Welcome to the Club. Just make sure you don't go around embarassing us respectable Evo/STi Owners by trying to street Race.

Time slips are the way to go.

If someone asks you if your car is fast. They obviously are: 1, dumb 2, don't know what an Evo is (revert to step 1), 3, ricer street racer (revert to step1) 4, Hilbilly redneck with his daddies pickem up truck that has less torque than an Evo/STi

all in good fun ^

 

not really sure, never got it dyno'd. it was pretty decent power. was a former track car and with the same setup, a gutted interior, and meth, it ran a low 10. and thats fwd. havent heard of any track times since then. now its off meth, and has full interior. it would spin the tires through 3rd though. up to about 75-80mph.
