I've followed this car for years and its the definition of the ultimate high HP Street Evo IMO. Full weight, AC and normal tires. Full radiator , standard placement turbo kit with recirculated wastegates. It was built in south Florida over a decade ago and still has the same engine (94 MM 2.2) it had in 2007. Besides going to a Drenth transmission and AEM Infinity its been mostly the same for a long time. A few guys that were at the half mile mentioned the guy driving it back to South Florida after the event. If I won the lottery I would build something very similar.

For a 245-255 tire it puts it down really well .

The surface is loose asphalt for landing airplanes so traction was limited

 

Saw this video last night, that sequential gear box is nuts. Evo moves out

 

Needs a strain gauge on the shifter.

 

Wow!

 

Amazing super sleeper Tim. A lot like yours!

Those are some hard core Drenth gear changes!!!

Amazing build

The shifting kinda reminds me of one of my favorite vids of an evo with an aftermarket gearbox. Definitely not as much of a sleeper though haha

 

Ah, the ER built 1/2 mile Evo. Definitely a beast.

 

Badass! I wonder how many miles are on that engine.

 

Its a purpose built car so most of the miles are hard ones. Here's a video from 2012 and it shows 21258.


The mileage at the 1/2 mile "looks" like 27K at the 4:11 mark but its hard to tell.

 

Yes, that does look like 27k ish miles. I understand its a racecar that doesn't see that many miles, I was just curious since it is definitely impressive that the motor held up for over 10 years. Very nice!
