Part one was posted an universally laughed at (Evo X or New STi? video)

Does the thrilling conclusion in part two involve actually driving the cars?

Great vid. It was interesting to see the Evo put down more power than the STI.

True but for under 3k, you can make the STI a sub-12s 1/4 machine. That's pretty awesome (you would hang I believe with stock Z06's).

Moreover, the video outlines one really bad thing about the DSM's in general - the tranny is weak for high-ouput which drives the cost up of tuning a lot. When you start talking about rebuilding bottom ends and that elk, you are talking major $$$.

Since I'm local, I plan to go the full stage 2 with AMR - I can't wait to see the numbers.
