And no, I don't care what your modded Evo ran. Stock it's a low 13 second car.
Um, want me to show you stock timeslips of mid 12's from actual owners to get through the thick skull of yours or would you rather believe accounts from 1-2day excusions with magazine editors? It's really easy to figure out: if you don't know how to launch an AWD boosted car, you're going to get crap times, period. But that is beyond the point....you draw comparisons of the 335i w/ a costly aftermarket standlaone system running high 12's and w/ an Evo which can be modified readily to run 11's (like my car with bolt ons and a FREE self-tuned reflash) and that has also 2 less cylinders, 1 less turbo, and less 1 litre of displacement. Stop trying to be an intarweb hero already and listen to ACTUAL owners who have run these themselves.

= major lag.. but some tuners already have the engine apart and removed the turbos for inspection and ideas. I can't wait to see that.

Define major lag lol.......tt was only a matter of time before tuners started getting single upgrade ideas, a twin GT30 setup might even be an option. The inline 6 motor is very easy to work with as far as turbo upgrades.

Space is a major problem with turbo placement on this inline 6 engine. Tuners are gonna have to get real creative if they want to throw a large snail in there.

Change the title to ,"headlight race".

One just gets tired of the all of the headlight videos.

People, tip, Sony and others make excellent camcorders will very good night vision modes.
