Anyone gonna head up to VMP on March 3rd (Saturday)? First Test-n-Tune of the new season. Starts at 10am and their track is always in great condition. Cool weather = good times. It will be my first time in my EVO IX. Took my previous car (2004 GTO) up there all the time.

 

I might be heading up there as well.

 

What made you decide to trade your GTO in for an evo? Not that I disagree with your decision.

 

Problly found that the Evo is faster and can handle better!!!!!!!!!!! And still has room in the children.

 

Sounds like it might be a fun trip.

 

Where is this at?

I believe Richmond Dragway is closer to us on this side of the water, but vmp appears to do a better job of prepping their track. Mark, have you done anything else to your Evo, we can always turn the boost up with the stock ecu if you want to?

 

The gto ran low 12s probably high 11s with the last round of mods...but at 11mpg in town and having my kids have to climb in the back all the time got old. With 385 rwhp if it rained the back end would get real loose. I wanted something fast, good on gas, 4-doors, and that I could drive year around (AWD FTW), it wasn't a difficult decision at all...LOVE my evo...had the wing removed and filled...got back today...NICE

 

that makes sense; most of the reasons you mentioned above are why I stayed away from the 03/04 Cobra when I got my Evo.

 

some of us southsiders will probably be making the trip up

 

I'll go too! The only thing i have done since the last time we met is install the boost gauge and remove the wing. I was just about to pm you about flashing the car. Let me know when you can.

 

I can do it today after 7pm, im not sure about friday; im off saturday and sunday so some time around then is fine as well.

 

Are you going to keep the z06 till then?

 

heyzeus11, pm sent.

 

This weekend is cool! I'm free all day Sat. let me know what time.
