Craig Congrats!
Great write-up and very cool that you have what you wanted
(this is not always easy as we all have different needs). I like the
fact that the community here even having its own bumps along the way
has stepped up to help each other, this is a geat testament to what I originally thought was just a bunch of Posuers.
Enjoy the car this summer and I agree that if your full weight tippy beats
Sharkey's time, then you have a monster on your hands!

Craig,
Congratulations, my friend! I'm extremely happy for you that you have your car back, and that she's running so well. She sounds like an absolute monster, and a total thrill to drive! Enjoy her in good health, brother.
Cheers

Craig, sounds like you have the ultimate stop light warrior on your hands...congrats. I am glad to hear that the car has exceeded your expectations and that EVO has produced the goods. I am glad you decided not to chase the peak numbers and went with a low/middle rpm band beast. Sounds like you will be able to exploit the car fully in your day to day driving...late for court?...don't think so! Once again, congrats to you, Todd Z and Dan. BTW, that much TQ at less than 4K is just plain ridiculous....my kind of car! Be safe, Kevin

Enjoy it in good health,my friend .It would be interesting to see how your car would do in the 1/4 with all that torque and one less shift.Funny thing about Craig's car is it has so much torque that now he needs tires just to go out and even attempt a 60-130 because he runs sideways at 60 
on street tires and awd.Sharky get this car to the track,its gonna be fun watching you guys launch this car.

Craig congrats on getting your car back, it sounds like it is exactly what you wanted. I wouldn't underestimate your car on the 1/4 mile you can turn a wicked fast 60 foot time with that monkeytronic!
Now go spank some Enzo's!

Craig it was fun catching up last week and even more funny listening to you tell me that a Tip roasts all four tires at some serious speeds. Based on what I now know with your car vs mine, there is no comparison. Yours _should_ be so much more capable than my black car ever was. The right tuning with the Hitachi MAF and the fuel system was not available back then and hence my top-end was not what it could have been 2.5 years ago
My car _never_ spun tires like yours that's for sure. Not to mention that your 9ff tranny shifts even better. I would seriously think that with the right conditions your car could certainly challenge for a 9 second run. It might not trap 145mph (probably 140-ish at this point?) but with a 1.5-6 60 foot you've got the mph to do it. I'm always game brutha!
It's really great to see the tuning and power down low with these turbos that EVO was able to get. I'll have more on our white car and the black 3.8 but I'm already really stocked about the black 3.8.... The thing that impresses me is that with pretty similair hp/tq that your car made, these cars are doing it at only 22PSI! I mentioned this before but the 2-bar days are _over_ (at least for me). Mid 700AWP is great for my needs and at 22-23psi I don't need anything else.
