2:01 at Buttonwillow? Wow.

Evasives street car ran a 2:01 this weekend with Robert Walker at the wheel. very impressive. Looks like I'm about to put my deposit down on a CPO'd one.

i love evasive, they hooked me up on my exhaust, B.S.ed with me for a good 45 mins at the close of business and just seem like good people to deal with.. i would never knock anything they do but the evasive FRS that was on the cover of Dsport, only managed a 1:59.2.... what in the world was wrong with that car.. was that a shakedown.. it has major areo DOT R spec tires and everything, its stripped, purpose built racecar and supercharged and a pretty much stock BRZ with suspension and exhaust and tries, runs around 2 sec slower..

Not sure who was driving the other car, but the BRZ has better suspension and a killer driver in Rob Walker.

same driver, and the tein super racing coilovers are better then the KW 3way adjustable coilovers??? i was under the impression that the KW 3 way was top of the middle line of coil overs of bottom are the top of the line coil overs, and that the tein was on par with the KW V3.. i dont know much about coil overs, just was told by just about all the suspension tuners to go with at least the KW V3 or the Tein that CSG runs which i thought was the super racing ones, but i could be wrong


im not knocking the FRS one bit BTW, just all the work they put into it seems it wouldve ran alot better, but maybe it to was just a shakedown

I think they were just using the KW V3 on the FRS originally. The V3 are entry level double adjustables. They're good, but they're not on the same level as the SRC.

KW Motorsport 3 ways are a totally different item though.
