If you've seen the AMS EVO's videos, you'll know they definitely "use" the power. I'm by no means a fan of EVOs at all, but this car is sick. Period.

That's a lot of HP and I give that EVO credit.....but!!!!! by the time that 42lbs of boost kicks in (by the looks of the dyno vid) I'll be done with the 1/4 mile!! Thank you very much.

It would be called spooling the turbo. That car is a lot faster then what you think in the 1/4. I believe that 8 second DSM has the same turbo on it if I am not mistaken.

wow, I don't care what people say mark me know as saying that is sweet. What is that half the ci. ONE turbo and TWICE the power of any LS1. Don't get me wrong I love Camaros i get anothetr one in a few days but would trade in in a hot second for that beast. Some people will hate but what would they say when that bad bitch walks them?

AWD is hard to beat on the street, they dont have traction issues like us rwd cars do. 800hp awd on the street is ruthless good luck trying to beat that on the street.

I'm sure He blows through transfer cases, though..

Heard he was droppin' some mad cash for a heavy duty transfer case that'll just hold that power.

Spool, the EVO has no reason to be in ANY rpm out of max boost. It's called a 2-step, right? SO, that's that.

Transfer cases? OMG... Search on our Gears forum and you'll find many Moser 12-bolt gone to that nice little junkyard in the sky with hard-hitting M6's... just excuses!

This car is built well, has smoked SC'd Vipers and Corvettes, and only lost to a BBC Camaro spraying a 300 shot. Yeah, there it lost by many car lengths... but that was on the old set-up (~600 rwhp?).

Ugly? That's lame... the ricers say our cars our ugly, are they validated?

AND, if you look at this car, it's no ricer's car, near-stock appearance.

Come on guys, there's a whole world of automobiles out there, you don't have to like them but you don't have to **** on them either. Just like my car, people don't have to like my car, but don't **** with it or else it might hand your ***.
