Nice use of Steve Vai's Bad Horsie in the beginning of the vid. I don't think I've heard a solo artist's music in a racing video before. Kudos!

There's no doubt that stang had more nuts than the Evo. But, the Evo had one hell of a leave. When that clutch engaged, it didn't lose any RPMs at all. It just exploded off the line. Extremely impressive.

Isn't that why you build a car, to win quarter mile races?

Exactly. It's built to get the end of the 1/4 first, auto-x second.

nothing yet, I'm sure the slicks will help at the track but I'm real curious to see how they do on the street especially. Hopefully with 4 of them pulling it'll hook.
