AMS Evo Killed *Video added* So I was at a local haunt for cars and a heads/cam white WS6 is lookin for some fun. I tell him to run an Evo that had just pulled in. White T/A Heads/Cam untuned. From a roll pulled the Evo ugly, from a dig on street tires sliding all over the roll reeled the Evo in. My buddy got a video so as soon as he posts it I'll link but it was pretty fun.
Evo owner, said "Ive got a upto stage 3 AMS, getting a bigger turbo next week." I dunno if he was lying but from what I could see, electronic boost controller, AMS FMIC, Exhaust and some rims. It was a nice car and quick but damn it got killed.

Nice lol why is it someone in a ricer of some sort after getting beat always says there getting a bigger turbo or something in a week or my tune was off. It like run what ya brunge man. We have some nice evo's around here tho running in low 12s. There ok but i dont see the point of buying a rally car to drag race with. Its like buying a corvette for a grocery getter. 
Well, most (including me) love the awd advantage that the Evo gives you so why not drag it. Personally I didnt buy my Evo to go around a road course. Im hoping he had more mods then that, those are the most basic things, also I dont see why people upgrade thir FMIC when their on the stock turbo. I still had the stock FMIC with full bolt ons + cams etc on my Evo.

Yeah...the title is misleading. You should have said an "AMS stg x car" got killed. Most people clicking the thread thought it was their low 9-sec car that got killed...LOL.

Their shops car was killed. Apparently no one saw the video. I'll see if I can find it for you guys but it got killed by a first gen Camaro on a 300 shot.
I dunno the way I see it, it was rainy all day, an AMS stage 3 car is a nice kill for a mild cam heads WS6 on street tires. The driver said "Ive had it two weeks and have only driven my V6 5spd camaro and am getting used to the power."

The black EVO that was killed by the Camaro was not AMS's shop car. it was another AMS modded EVO. It had 600whp at the time which is mid to high 130's in the 1/4.
AMS's shop car (which is silver btw) runs like 9.0-9.1 @ 160mph+ . Big difference.
I also wouldn't mind seeing a 9.0 sec flat car get killed on the street by another street car.

Does that car run on 93 octane?
I dunno, if it's not Im sure some other shop could take them. No matter how fast you are there's always someone faster. From what I understand world's fastest street car title has belonged to an RX-7 in Japan and is still there.

Also these days street car is a very very subjective term. There's a company building 1000hp 331 engines for mustangs that run on 93 Octane to run 7 days a week. You can call it a street car but I sure as hell wouldnt.

Here's the vid. My car is the camera car, although I was restrained due to lots of police activity and the camera man didnt want to get busted.

I saw it on some brit show via satalite while at a buddies' house. Apparently it was a low 8 second car from some world renown shop. I dont recall the details but it was pretty badass. I love the FD cars.
