Just drove EVT700
Little more info:
I went to a local car dealership to check out the on and only GT Speed around here (Sales price 398kEUR/$500k!!!) and some guy just picked it up like 30 min before. Well, he had brought in EVT700 in return. So, I asked if I could try it out a little bit ;-)
I have never driven one before I was little cautious because the weather is net exactly a track day here in Helsinki. The car had winter tires, but I did few full stop take off's and it really was a blast. It is hard the explain how fast that thing is, but below is my initial adrelanin high...
I have few pictures of it, but I don't have a place where to post them. It pretty much stock anyways. From outside of course :-)
'''''''''''''''''''''''
Woooohaaaaa!!! Holy crap how fast is that thing! Little lag when you floor it but other than that it just crazy stuff...
I wonder how much less Wooohaaa there is with other (less powerfull) EVT packages?

500K !!! Yikes . I thought I would never sell my car but if I could get that price I would . (heck I'd even be a nice guy and let it go for 485 ) .
I would miss it so greatly that I would have to go out , buy a new car and spend months ordering the wheels , engine parts, aerokit, and all the things to make a new one just like the one I have.
It's really that amazing . I suggest that if you can --take out the car in better weather to appreciate it fully.

I've the "other" EVT-700 in Finland, mine is manual (BradPete's ex is a tip) and I had previously EVT-610 kit before Evoms finalized the EVT-700. Sadly I only had time to participate one happening at Joensuu Airport this summer with following outcome:
0-100 km/h 3,5 sec.
100-200 km/h 6,3 sec.
200-300 km/h 15,6 sec.
0-300 km/h 25,4 sec.
Unfortunately I never had chance to try above figures with EVT-610. Following performance data is available for both kits:
50 km/h - 150 km/h
Stock 6,2 sec.
EVT-610 5,5 sec
EVT-700 4,5 sec
As one can see, yes - there is a world of difference iin between these setups.

P.S. yrralis1, you guessed it right - due to our astronomical car taxation we've luxurious 8-lane roads in top notch condition here in entire Finland!
0-100 km/h 3,5 sec.
100-200 km/h 6,3 sec.
200-300 km/h 15,6 sec.

I love my car and I will continuously keep my eyes peeled for upgrades . What i like about the EVT700 is that the speed is attained while the cars manageablilty is retained . I have only run mine on pump fuel and never timed it (yet) . I only have 2K miles on the system (6700 mi total car) .
I also found that the suspension and aerokit (both Techart) compliment the system .
I still look to what's next but I will stick with Evoms parts , consider tweaking the clutch and reducing car weight.

Very fast..
On pump gas?
What parts does the kit include?
#10
Nope that on race gas...My friend tried differents conditions octane rating ( 91/93 ) and differents weather and full and half tank...etc and of course differents results
Also we noticed that the car ran quicker/faster ( on pump gas ) on 1 bar and much quicker/faster ( on racegas ) on 1.2bar
but here is some pump gas results :-
0-100km/h 3.2sec
100-200km/h 6.4sec
200-300km/h 14.6sec
All tests done and the temp was 18C-24C

Not enough info to compare the numbers and they are close. I look mostly at the 100- 200 time as the start from zero includes driver skill with launching . I also don't know what pump gas ratings are in Finland. I have yet to run mine on race gas . I won't track mine (yet) but I like to know I have it for myself .
Keep in mind too that the 997 Turbo being only 2 model years old is still in its infancy and with these kind of numbers already being thrown around .. the future looks great .
I'm now considering some weight reduction . Those sports adaptive seats are pretty but they are heavy -- not like the sports buckets . When my leather gets worn out will come those seats . I've seen a few (to say the least) heavy people driving some of these cars too . At 150 I'm lean but my 107 lb girlfriend could probably knock off .01 sec on my weight in the drivers seat. Plus she can drive well . Nervous passenger though but so am I.
Congrats on both cars .

Also tip car won't make more power than the 6speed coz the torque converter will eat some power on tip cars
BTW...How much EVT700 kit cost u ?

Are these results on pump gas? octane?
Thanks

Gasoline octanes
This run was made at the closed airport runaway with 102 octane RON Aspen Race fuel:
0-100 km/h 3,5 sec.
100-200 km/h 6,3 sec.
200-300 km/h 15,6 sec.
0-300 km/h 25,4 sec.
I guess Evoms calls this EVT-730R with proper propellant...
These are pulled on my way to the summer cottage with premium pump gas (98 octane RON), there happens to be this flat straight that basicly is built for testing purposes.. :-)
50 km/h - 150 km/h
