It's probably about the same money, and I dearly love the Evo platform.

TX2K??

A local forum member on our local forum posted up a black ET built Evo with a dog box and spinning up to 11,500 rpms. That ish was stupid. LOL. If I had money I'd just send them a spare Evo to go crazy on.

If I had the moneyI would buy one of thier fancy billet aluminum blocks for my daily and set no records at all. It would make me happy just to have the awesomest 4g ever... I might even just put it on an engine stand in my garage and look at it and drink beer.

AEM?

I doubt it. Maybe Spyros' insane F1/WRC derived EMS? Traction control that can eliminate a single fuel injection event at a cylinder the instant slip is detected? Gear dependent boost, and maybe that ridiculous solid state shifter and speed/gear/shift dependent electronic shift strategy?

I made it into the Official dvd of 2k11 on the road course... for like 10 seconds, lol.

I believe Joe is Extreme Tuners first street car customer for this very reason!

Yes, Joe is going to drive this Monster on the street...oh look a Veyron...slips?

First street car???

WRC teams?!?!?!!??? ol:

F1 race teams????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Good one!

Kostas,

Sorry I might have missed something because of the internet, but are you saying those claims arent exactly true or something else?

I haven't read claims of ET in which he said he works for F1 or WRC. I'm the only one? He shows some parts built for him by companies that works for F1 and WRC, that's all...
