EVO IX vs. Porsche Club of America
 

First off, I am a Porsche owner and love the cars...but there is nothing quite as fun as taking the IX to Road Atlanta for a Porsche Club Driver Education event and spanking every single high dollar car out there. Out of 160 cars, including track prepared 997 GT3's, 996 GT3's, 996TT's, 993TT's, Ferrari Challenge, BMW M5's, M3's, etc., the IX was consistently running 1-2 seconds a lap faster than anything else (1:35's).

A big THANK YOU to Doug and the crew at TopSpeed in Alpharetta, GA for making the car so damn fast and reliable!

Another big THANK YOU to AMS for all the bitc*'n go fast parts!

More Pics.

someone post this link on www.rennlist.com ! :-)

I have to agree as a Porsche owner...I actually prefer the Evo in most scenarios because: (a) I don't worry if it gets rock chips, door dings, scratches, etc., (b) can take the kids to the market, and (c) has a 'real' trunk. The 911s are much prettier, better built / more solid, and get more 'valet cachet' IMHO.

What have you done to your evo?

Couple more.

Hey this is Tim I met you the other day at topspeed when I was getting my car tuned, kick a$$ pics!

At this event the car was running the following:

AMS 50 Trim Kit
GSC S1 Cams
AMS Downpipe, Random Technologies Cat, Cobb Catback
780CC Injectors
AMS Intercooler and Piping
ACT HD Street Clutch
Megan Track Coilovers: Front set at 27, Rear set at 24 (clicks)

Tuning by Doug @ TopSpeed:
Dynojet Results 401AWHP on 93, 481 AWHP on VP MS109

Just added: Exedy HD Twin, Coolingmist Meth Injection.

The car is about to receive an HTA35R, AEM, AMS surge tank fuel system, tuning for: 93, 93+Meth, E85, E85+Meth

Then of course it will need a built motor!

Big difference and the car is smoother than ever!!

I love this thread. How the heck do you get that much negative camber up front. Are you running smallish front wheels/tires? It is also about time for more aero treatment...

I am suprised that you would beat up on all the cars at a PCA DE as usually you will get atleast 1 GT1 class car. Also, an good lap time for a F class car is about a 1:40 at road alanta and E class is usually all over the 1:35 lap times. These cars are not nearly as fast as some other cars so I am pretty confused on why everyone was running so slow. Regardless, that car looks really good and I am glad to see you stick it to the Porsche crowd.)

While I also LOVE my 993, my simple bolt on to my EVO, it is not even in the same league. With what you have on yours, I can't see many cars keeping up. Maybe a modded Turbo, or a modded GT car.

Stock 993 mustang dyno, 220awhp
Same Dyno, EVO 290 awhp that was with a bad HFC!!
The 993 handles better with stock (M030 suspension) then the EVO with stock. On a cruise, I will take the 993. But for going fast, & being stupid, it's hard to beat the EVO.

While the EVO holds it's value, I doubt it will be worth anything close to my 993 in another 10 years. While the EVO is a great car, I get more thrills from driving the 993.

I love Evos to death but I find this really hard to believe.
