While out at Infineon Raceway this week doing some testing, we decided to try the car out on the strip. With a race coming later this week, I took it very easy on the launch, but then ripped it once I was off the line.

The result? 11.2 at 137.6mph!!!

The previous record was a 10.17 at 135.9, coincidentally by another AMS 900x package powered car. No tweaks to my Road Course tune, we just ran it as is and it spanked! The car will be setup FOR drag racing and run again later this year, in hopes to become the worlds Quickest AND Fastest Evo X.

Congrats man!!! Thats awesome! We should do a Worlds Fastest Evo X competition, Jeremy@SSP, you and the other 500+ whp evo. Drag and circuit. :)

That's awesome, congrats!!

Why are you going to switch it over to a drag car? Seems like a waste considering how much you've put into it.

Thats blazing!!! 20K = 10 sec Evo X.

Congrats!

I'm in no way switching it, we'll just be adjusting the suspension and setting up the ECU for drag (ie more power :))

Nice, I still would love a ride in this car.

i dont think hes gonna change it to a drag car, i bet he's just gonna do a few drags for all that sponsorship and all the power put into it. i totally would do a bunch of drag racing if i had some sponsorship to pay for my road racing, id be yawning the whole time, but......

its an all around beast

congrats! and that launch was weak ;), you would have some extremely impressive numbers with a good launch

very nice, congrats.

now change the tune and go break the world record for eta!

:yay:Very nice!:omg:

WHEEEEW...ok good haha

your car is too BAMF to be relegated to straight lines only.

Awesome Ryan...do it up..should be sweet :)

That ROCKS Ryan! Good luck this weekend. Cant wait to hear about it when you get back!

Dude that is badass. That shit rips

With a better launch, more aggressive tune, Mickey Tom ET's, shifting to 5th, and quicker shifting all around you will have a real easy time being the QUICKEST and FASTEST.

Ya if you say it that way. I guess.

A breakdown of the slip:

60' - 2.332
330' - 5.333
1/8 - 7.658
MPH - 106.4
1000' - 9.628
1/4 - 11.263
MPH - 137.78

Wow, you would have easily hit 10.6 - 10.7 with a 1.7-1.8 60'.

Legit track and drag car! Congrats!

Uhhhh, Ryan would absolutely destroy me on the 1/4 mile(MR sucks off the line)....and the rd. courses for that matter. BTW...great job again Ryan, and I'm sure if you lost the front splitter, rear wing, and actually launched the car.....You would have def beat the ET record. Best of luck when you guys get out there again.


-Jeremy


PS: A 106+mph @ the 1/8th mile in freaking sick!!

:D Guess you gotta continue modding the evo

nice!
first the track then 1/4 ml
bring X to tx ml

I totally understand that you would want to save the transmission with a softer launch, still that 137 mph trap speed on the 4th gear limiter is insane! You're car is super lightweight AND mega high powered now, must feel awesome. ;)

:D Guess you gotta continue modding the evo


Nope.....that's why I bought the GT-R :shades:

Good call. Just race that damn X like you stole it

nice job ryan. wish i would have known you were up here at sears point i would have stopped by to check out the latest version of the car.
btw did you get a chance to do some laps at all. if so what kind of times do you run.

Sounds good and nice run.

God, first gear lasted like half a second.
Good stuff Ryan!

With a more aggresive tune and a real launch and possibly some tires it will definitely be the first 9 second evo x

Goodness!!! 137 mph withe the aero drag STILL on the car!!! That's probably low-mid 140's with all that off.

I hate to think what you will reach at Road Atlanta on the back straight, make sure you put some data in the car for that. I've gotten to 170 in an almost full weight 500 whp Turbo. I know a 700+ crank hp Turbo that got to 180.

If it doesn't skeer you, I could see you hitting 190 mph by turn 10 (just hope you can stop it from that speed).

effin sweet!

thats a blazing fast evo :+1:

Awesome results Gates!!

Great to see you at the track and in the shop!

I was at Sear's Point having my clutch put in by WORKS that week!

Would have loved to see that 1/4 mile pass.

Purpose built cars are great, but there's nothing as impressive as a car that can do Road Race, 1/4mi, Autocross and Daily Driving and do them all well.

I read in the SCCA magazine that Gates is kicking ass at RallyCross as well.

Ryan, you should do a few Autocross events in that Evo just to make everybody jealous. The San Francisco Region Nationals are in 2 weeks! Should be awesome.

Awesome! :rock:

what is your splitter made of? what kind of material?

my hopes are high for the evo x , nevertheless i hate its 5th gear, something needs to be done , valuable timing is lost cuz of it!

With a more aggresive tune and a real launch and possibly some tires it will definitely be the first 9 second evo x

a 9 second evo x , that would be a blast!!
i bet a correct gearing for drag, + the neccesary parts = 9 sec. from a thrill ride!
Nope.....that's why I bought the GT-R :shades:

your soo in a hurry to draw such a conclusion , the evo x is still relatively new in the market (2yrs) , lots of R&D's still going on :o

Haha yea dude it's getting pretty quick. I'm having the gears changed out right now to a dog box with some proper gearing....mhmmm 192mph at 9,500rpm. I'll hit you up a little closer to the event man.
Great to see you at the track and in the shop!
Nice to meet you too dude, thanks for the help at the shop.

Haha that's not the same Ryan G, but that's cool. I'm not out west right now, but maybe soon I'll run at AutoX up here in MN for some fun.

Dry carbon.

Dog box. So dope!

9 seconds is the goal.

Thanks for all the good words guys!

but a dog box will render the car, not suitable for public roads, still a proper manual gear is needed

It's called good valve springs and aftermarket rods and rev the car out to 8500-9000.

I plan to take mine up to 9500 or 10k if I need to to cross the 1/4 in 4th :)

10k probably won't happen, but 9.5 probably will, whatever I need.
