that is a sexy car you have there

 

congrats, thats awesome man

 

oh my evo....

 

thanks!

 

so its just an ams evo?

 

i dont like all the stickers but are you sponsered?

 

wtf??? Its a time attack Evo for christ sake.

 

Ummm, just a few This car is no joke. This is the one of most popular Evo X in the world of Evo owners and has made the cover of some top magazine.

He doesn't go to sponsors they go to him, No joke. Let see you get to that level.

Sponsors = lots of **** for free. Id like to see you get carbon fiber hood, roof, trunk and 4 doors for free, haha.


These are his sponsors.
AMS Performance
Nitto Tires
K&N Filters
JRZ Suspension
etnies
Carbonetic
Girodisc
Seibon Carbon
Forced Performance
Double Down Motorsports
Evasive Motorsports

 

so yes is the stickers still really needed???? lol jk the car looks amazing.

 

 

lol I shoulda stuck with the idea of getting a evo damn SS

 

Re think that idea.

This car cost almost $40k from the dealer new back in 2008 and now has over well over $20k in mods so far. So for guy like yourself to get an Evo of that level your looking at over $60k easily being that a lot of the mods on this car are pre production / test / designed on this car for the gen public. You'd also need to have pro tuner for the engine and suspension just to be able to keep this thing running in top shape at each track event.




Now the SS can be a great track car...

Things you want to look into \/

Pedders springs
LNF suspension
OZ Ultraleggeras
OTTP Hardcore sway bar
Carbon Fiber hood and trunk
Racing seats + harnesses
Set of really sticky tires.
The list goes on...

 

yeah 41k fully loaded...I was about to sign the papers at the dealership then I had a few phone calls . I love the SS but I have bad luck with it.

 

The driver, Ryan Gates purchased and owns the car...AMS is his biggest sponsor but he has many. AMS found him at track day weekend a few years back and were impressed at his laps time he was putting down with is modded Evo9. So when he picked up a EvoX right when the came out AMS was all about helping him out. It's always a good thing to have sponsors coming to you...thats when you know things are going in the right direction.

 

Yeah its always nice when sponsors help out people that truly love modding and driving there cars.

 

Sweet ride, but where the F is the racing footage... and no the 30 sec in that video do NOT count!

 

This was to be an interview / one-on-one style video.


Here a short mix I did a few passes by him on the track.

awsome

 

Thanks!

 

bump

 

looks like he upgraded the spoiler in the picture

 

Yep, and he also added some more font areo too.

 

40K for an Evo X GSR? i got mine for $28,500. the sticker was only 36k(right now at South Coast Mitsu you can get a 2010 GSR for 31k). besides tracking a Cobalt like he does is still gonna cost a ton of money.

But, yes that car is amazing.

 

I think he paid $38K, but that was when they first hit the sales floor a few years back now.
