Maybe if I road in the car or drove it I'd appreciate it more, but that kind of power band doesn't look very useful. I wonder what's it like to drive it? The tach needle must swing up like a boost gauge when the power hits. Be ready to shift. hahaha |
I wouldn't call it a slam. It is just when the evo's got released, I figured they would be mostly used in the auto-x world, not so much drag. Then all the nutty post dsmer's and other shops got their hands on them and it was all aboard for dragging (which they have set some pretty impressive records for how "young" the platform is to the U.S.) and the power levels keep going up.
Personally I think a gt45 is useless on a car that will see street duty, but in the end if its what the customer really wants, they can have it. I think the car would be much more "streetable" with a AMS gt42 setup, granted the peak numbers aren't as large, but I would imagine the car has better street manors, let along being able to get back on boil easier at the strip.
Don't get me wrong, AMS is doing a fantastic job with the EVO's, and they are a very good shop, but I just think this setup is just a case of someone wanting big numbers.
Just my $.02, I would still like to drive the car to see how it pulls, I bet it is alot of fun.
I would also like to see how it compares to one if their GT42 cars.
