Gotta love the 4G63
The shop that tuned my car has been busy getting their shop drag car ready for this season. They haven't even hooked the nitrous up yet

It's no dyno queen, and this is the same car that ran in One Lap last year.

They also have a pretty sweet tow vehicle

Ike, couldn't get your first link to work...is this shop up by you in Milwaukee? I'd probably swing by there with BlueRen and RSD sometime if everyone was up for it.
EDIT: Just saw it's here in Chicago. Pretty cool.
Cheater turbos?

U do gotta love the 4g motor. My co worker had a 700whp 2G GSX built by himself and his shop at road race engineering. That thing was a beast. He even competed in the SCC ultimate shootout and had the best lap time on a road course. Too bad he sold the car. 700+hp+AWD is no joke.

And the RX-8 would win in the twisties!
Plus the evo is all wheel drive (which is also cheating)! Everybody knows a real sports car is rear wheel drive! Try to race from highway speeds! See what your precious all wheel drive does there!
Yeah, I was joking. I couldn't let an Evo-Love post slip by without getting something like that in early.

winners are picked based on the exterior and bling-bling factor, rather than pure performance accomplishments. vishnu's Evo was bone stock looking, with every piece of the interior still intact from the factory.....it'd be too boring to have that car on the video cover.

I think when you can light em up in 3rd in an AWD car with drag slicks you've gone too far 
They'll get it figured out, but not a great debut for the new setup

I'm not talking about who has the fastest car but I was all impressed by Vishnu products from most FI car forums about their mods at first. However seeing that the car failed twice before the pro drivers had a drive in it bring some doubt regarding their worksmanship or etc but that's just me.
Plus BMI Touge has always been about street tuned machines not cars that laps the fastest (with all the slicks, etc) but the most fun car to drive.
