*NO TRADES*
*NO JOYRIDES*
If you want a car that is more fun to drive than any other street-legal car, will destroy Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, and keep up with even the most highly-modified GTRs on the track (yet is much easier and less expensive to maintain than all of them), is stunningly beautiful (pictures don't do it justice), yet very sleeper and low-key, and will make you pee your pants and giggle uncontrollably every time you drive it... you've found it!
As you can see from the parts list below, no expense was spared on building this car, everything was done the best way possible. Only the best parts were used, and only arguably one of the best world-renown evo tuners did all the work (CBRD). This car is easier to drive on the street than any other similarly modified car I've ever driven, due to the unique combination of parts and the expert tune. The turbo setup is rare and superior to any Garrett 35-based setup in spool and maximum power, yet just as streetable and driveable as an HTA86. The dyno chart shows what an insanely usable power/torque curve this setup was able to produce. Keep in mind that the dyno used to tune this car underestimates the power curve by AT LEAST 75hp (more on AWD drivetrains). This car has been driven less than 500 miles since the engine was built, and less than 200 miles since being completed. It has been climate-controlled garage kept its entire life, has never been driven in the rain or snow, and the chassis only has 39k miles on it. The engine, clutch, and entire drivetrain are all freshly built by only the best, and will provide a long life of any kind of racing if you so desire. Tuned on E85 and pump gas, it's easy to switch from one to the other as needed with the flip of a switch.
I can't emphasize enough how much of a joy it is to drive, it is definitely a street/strip/track monster, although the clutch is definitely for men (boys only apply if you want to grow up) but that is the price you pay to have this much fun and power, nothing else will take the brutality this engine dishes out. This car feels faster than even the Tesla P85D, and E85 is cheap and burns clean.
Unfortunately, now that this long project is complete, I've found myself in a situation where I am no longer able to take advantage of and appreciate the racing that I built this dream-car for, so I am trying to find somebody that will. My significant loss in time, effort, and money is your gain. Please keep in mind that this is a highly tuned race car, close to $100k in modifications were done to this car, yet it is street-legal and tuned so well that there is nothing else you could want to do to it. It doesn't even leak a drop of oil, which is pretty much unheard of with highly modified EVOs. Very few other EVOs that I have seen have been done as well as this one so that it will be free of headaches.
