It was nowhere near this level and it will make a much nicer street car than the RS. With HID's Power locks and windows, its just that much better to drive daily.

The RS is already almost 400 lbs lighter than Ricer ever even though about being.

It's the going forward part that is hard. Articzap hit it on the head... Ricer is too close to the heart. Emery doesn't care as much, but I'm not letting that car go.

My feelings exactly.

The "Ricer" was far from a street car. Small brakes the whole way around, hard block, no air filter...

What turbo are you using for the stock block record?

You're talking about bolt on parts that take only a few hours to put back "stock". The RS will be receiving what will be not as easily undoable weight reduction. I wouldnt expect the ricer to be a slouch by any means when everything Is said and done.

Ricer all said and done should be a 9 second street car. The RS on the other hand should be a bit faster. We will see though. Only time will tell. First stop is the stock block record. Hopefully we can go racing Friday!

What are the goals for the RS? Glad to see some people motivated to build a serious drag Evo. Not many of them out there...
