First EVO in the USA to hit the 9s and still counting...
The 350Z, the STI, the RX-8, the EVO, and the SRT-4. The new class of Japanese sports car. Since their introductions, tuners have been tunning the crap out of these cars. All these cars are great to tune but the only one so far in the USA to hit a 10 Second 1/4 Mile is the EVO, and guess what now it hit the 9s.

As far as the street legal EVO III how is it street legal, the same way so many Skylines are legal here, the necessary modifications are made to make it street legal in the USA. Here is a street legal EVO V drag racing at New Jersey- http://features.evolutionm.net/img/a...itsu_day_5.wmv |

Re: First EVO int the USA to hit the 9s and still counting...
People have imported Lotus' for years but with emissions regulations they have had to make alterations to the cars themselves. Lotus built the Exige so that it would meet our emission standards straight from the show room. The Exige actually has the heart of a Toyota, go figure.

That tried and true 4G63 motor in the EVO is capable of well over 750 HP. John Shepard is running 8.7's @165 with his 92 Talon. I'm running mid 10's with my 92 Talon.
