[B]...I couldn't take the chance of the stock clutch going out at the OTC

I could not agree with you more, especially the guys that are running a lot more power than stock.

It shall be interesting who's EVO ends up fastest, especially with Derek stepping up and having his stuff track tested and tuned in Seattle. I am extremely curious to see if his pump gas flash runs as hard as Robi's. Looks like the T3 class at this years OTC will require a turbo/AWD car to be competitive.

 

my car is staying stock, what are you talking about?

Of course, we are all bringing Stock cars with a meager pump gas tune to the OTC. Your car has so few mods, it is what we consider 'stock' at RRE.

 

it runs, so it's gotta be stock.

 

Hahaha, careful, your DSMer roots are showing.

 

Ahh, common misconception. I didn't understand the terms at first either. DSM refers to a Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon, or Plymouth Laser. So it basically refers to the joint venture between Mopar and Mitsubishi, where the two makes were built in the same plant. I think it also includes the Dodge Stealth/Mitsubishi GT3000 as well. But since the Lancer, and many other Mitsubishis, are built in a Mitsu only plant, it isn't a DSM.

Now for your second question, what's a Lancer? Well, speaking from a US point of view, it's a glorified Mirage. But yes, the Evolution is a model of the Lancer, even though their similarities are much less than they were in the pre-USDM days. I hope that helps.

Anyway, if I can switch work days with a coworker, I'll try to show up. Otherwise, I will try to make a different date in the future. Buttonwillow is an awesome and safe track to drive on.

 

I would be there, but im going to be prepping for OTC at willow that weekend. (im not driving my Evo in the OTC)
