We are thinking a cruise to park city and lunch in the area. Depending on the interest, we may host another event. If anyone is interested let me know and anyone and anything with wheels is more than welcome to come. Not sure which day works best with everyone (Saturday or Sunday).

Im up for a cruz this weekend

Well, if you are all about T/A then you should know why Jake recomended 17's...smaller diameter cuts down on rotational mass significantly

Thanks Josh. Yeah, unsprung weight is the worst weight you can have on the car. But, honestly, it is easier to find tires for 18" wheels, the NTO3+Ms I had were 18", but I wasn't super serious. The extra bit of weight was worth it for the cost it saved by being able to buy take-off (used) slicks from Porsche cup racing's front tires.

Weight, IMO, is the Evo's biggest killer. It's fast, and can handle like crazy, but the place it loses out is it's nimbleness/agility. I never got a chance, but my dad rode in an old Evo of Vesko's that was very lightly modded and actually only running 17 psi... but Vesko had it stripped down so I think it weighed like 2600 lbs or something crazy. Needless to say it was pretty damn fast.

If I had money to buy a track dedicated Evo, that's the first thing I would do. Gut everything possible out of the car and reduce the weight of anything else (ie CF panels etc).

Yeah, it'll be sick. Damn, wish I'd have kept mine! Haha. I just gotta keep reminding me that 80k miles wouldn't look pretty right now.
