Default EVO's clean house at the MMP autox

I went to the Memphis Motorsports Park autox put on by the SCCA and had a blast. The EVOs took first in class and first overall.

I put together a short vid with some of the RWD cars going off the track and the EVOs making a couple of passes

With all the respect in the world my friend, but I hate EVO's.

F-buds are not for that kind of track. But for this one

sorry man, but i just can't get into a car that sounds like a bee stuck in a glue trap. if you like evo's or whatever other imports, good for ya, but i'll take a nice v8 rumble over them ANY day, even if it's slower. my $.02.

Thats where I disagree. I believe in giving credit where credit is due, not just based on V8 or not. They got those "bee stuck in a glue trap" cars into the 7's, did ya know that?

depending on the variation, 6.40's for the Titan Pro RWD Celica (2jz powered). That's a tube chassis IHRA Pro Stock chassis though.

If you want to draw a line in the sand and talk about American cars, you should start by not buying one that was made in Canada.

Papadakis' was. He's drifting now though and the car hasn't run in 2 years as far as i know.

Fastest Evo is actually in the 8's. The only 7 second AWD DSM is John Shepherd's Talon.

Stephanie Eggum ran 7.90 last year in a FWD Hot-Rod class Civic (motor mounted normal way, 2nd fastest FWD class).

Well, i'm not 100% sure. It was probably one of the earlier Evo's overseas, i know one guy ran 8.2X or something so i guess a 7 isn't out of the question. The shop that had that Evo also has the fastest awd car on the planet at 7.57 (skyline).

The quickest Evo 8's or newer i know of are in the high 8's though (AMS/Buschur/Norris)

yes i did. i'm more than willing to give them the credit due for making them fast and all, but what i said was i do not like the way they sound. to me, it's obnoxious sounding and thus i can't get into them the way i have old school v8's, but i'm 32 and that's all there really was when i was going to car shows & cruises as a kid & teen. if you like them, good for ya, more cars for you to enjoy. it was just my $.02.

Actually I think the RX-8 took overall time, that thing was moving.
