650 WHP Mitsubishi Evolution VIII - One Take

Get yourself a Tuner Crate at:
www.tunercrate.com/thesmokingtire
This 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution VII is a full build, and one of the cleanest we've seen. It makes an astonishing 650 horsepower at the wheels, and is one of the fastest, scariest rides we've tested in recent memory.

I love how Matt is just having the fucking time of his life and the guest is just trying to elaborate on the car every little chance he gets hahaha

[@npharkes]

haha just my thought...poor guy - I bet he didn't even get to the flux-generator - and Matt couldn't care less he just wants to scare himself shitless :D

*Awkwardness intensifies*

[@GrimmReapa]

Yeah dogging that man car out like its his what a douche bag. Doing all the talking complete jerk.

[@fulltang1]

Matt has done enough of these one take that the people bringing their cars know what to expect. These videos aren't about the owners, they're about driving a variety of cars quick.

[@xPhatTunesBlad08x]

I've never seen Matt respond to a cars power like this, awesome!

[@MADLITS1K]

Evos will do that to ya

[@aireworkz929]

War Bastard Evo 8 and 9 has that crazy raw power.

[@oldfashionedwrx3574]

stock they wont lol

[@777jones]

[@xPhatTunesBlad08x]

love how he couldn't focus on what the guy was saying about his car, he just wanted more pulls lol, smiled throughout!

[@thereignofdando]

I come back to this video every 6-8 months. Matt's reaction to this car still cracks me up. It must be seriously scary.

[@thatpersiandude7386]

same had to rewatch after 6 years

[@Bavariaria]

One of the best one takes ever. This car is nuts.

[@malice930]

Who still comes back and watches this review from time to time? Every couple of months I come back and check it out. It seems Matt had so much fun in this.

[@sleepytimemeditation3618]

Matt: I'm not sure I enjoy this Matt: *laughs maniacally

[@WayBetterDenYou]

"I'm not sure I enjoy this." while laughing every time he goes on boost.

[@michaelshannon5182]

Best One Take ever. Period.

[@jasonmcarthur9743]

His laughter is infectious 😆😆😆

[@solarstar567]

still to this day the single best One Take ever filmed. I've seen Matt react to a ton of different builds, and knowing how hard he is to impress or surprise only makes his reaction to this Evo even better. The HOLY SHHHH is like a meme soundbyte in my mind. He is so giddy in this ride that you'd think Matt took a big rip of laughing gas before starting this shoot LOL.

[@TomsTurboGarage]

Best one take ever!! Congratulations Oz!

[@ozman1975]

Thanks Tom, means a lot coming from you buddy!

[@Dre2383]

I've never heard Matt laugh so damn hard ever. 😂

[@nomadben]

I think his video of the Hennessey Venom GT when he was with /DRIVE equals this one in terms of laughter intensity. Definitely go check that one out.

[@batchmotors]

"This car is called Michael Jackson" "Did it start out black" amazing

[@JoeWrenches]

Wow! Matt's reaction to this car is great! Ozzie's car's are always the cleanest around. This one combines that with a ridiculous power level that is obviously very impressive. Great job Ozzie.

[@ozman1975]

Thanks Joe, means a lot amigo!

[@tommyboy1two]

Joe Wrenches do you know everyone who owns a Mitsubishi? Lol

[@vintagepolaris]

I was gonna say that lol

[@GorillaEgg]

Subaru guys will be like my buddies stage 7 sti would still beat it

[@simranlikesthe6221]

david l loooooool but evo dead now

[@oldfashionedwrx3574]

EJ207 is a bullet proof subaru engine, good for 400whp or so, ej257 is not. 4g63 is easy to work on/makes good power, 4b11 isn't as good as the 4g63. easier to work on subarus drive line but not engine and harder to work on evos driveline but easy to work on the engine. the evo 8/9 are the best for power builds

[@12valve9]

Jolly Brown Giant at least it hasent had 5 rebuilds within 200k

[@davidmopar8446]

Jolly Brown Giant so is the supra ,rx7 mr2. all good cars that arnt made anymore

[@lmo2021]

evo 9 engine running a evo 7 5 speed if you have stock together then build both and all g the 5 speed shits on the 6 for evo's where with sti's its a awesome 6 speed that with minimal help can hold 500kw or 670hp no issues but a wrx 5 speed will break with minimal power through it

[@fusionchickenleg]

Best one take I've watched; loved Matt's genuine mix of terror and joy and confusion at what he was experiencing

[@DC-uw8hp]

Finally got mine to this level, speed wise at least. It's freaking scary

[@JordieMotive97]

This is possibly my favourite one take from Matt. The reactions are just priceless. This is what a build should be about haha

[@letd1995]

Thank you Matt for finally reviewing a built evo!! I have a very similar build but 2.0 also tuned by tscomp. And from the evos in the past (FBO) vs a fully built is a total different world.. loved the reactions and props to the owner for a great build

[@davidmopar8446]

НАТО в шоке, США обосрались ring land failure, just like your life .

[@TSComptuned]

Its not my tune or the startup would be much better then the video shows. Its on someone else's tune right now. I'll be retuning it at a later date and making more power. For now its on a lower boost tune. The car has our Billet 2.3L short block in it though :)

[@jeffe4432]

Matt called it years ago... watch out for the older guys with evos

[@DC-uw8hp]

He's right about that. Im one of them 😎. Is there an episode where he says that. Reason why i ask is because he's definitely on point

[@WEStICE013]

Probably one of the most entertaining One Take's in a long time. Impossible to not smile or laugh with Matt.

[@ps3psnps3]

One of the best one takes ever! Great job to the owner and Matt for truly showing us how much he enjoyed this car!

[@rickeybell6440]

This is why We ❤️ Evo 8's and 9's. The power delivery is so raw!!

[@hopman360]

one of the best OneTake's yet. Matt's reaction was so funny

[@DeployableMango]

I keep coming back to this video, I’m on my fourth time back. The reactions and the noise are awesome.

[@dirkdiggler5647]

One of my favorite One Takes. I seem to catch myself fairly often back watching it over again

[@BlackMesaSecurity]

6:09. "Hold that thought...." Matt's reaction is priceless.

[@chaleowin7732]

Matt is high on HP and TQ. "Hold that thought." WOT "WTF man??" Priceless.

[@heikkikuoppala]

The reaction from Matt to the power is fantastic! I became happy just watching this

[@Miggy2j]

This was awesome, Matt is not a guy to bs his way through reviews so it really shows the potency of this evo. Love it!

[@maltlickey]

I love how Matt just laughed his ass off the whole time. That's how you know the car is bonkers haha.

[@user-ep2sv9vm8l]

I'm a subaru guy, but evos are badass especially this one, great one take

[@michaelbrisbane7508]

One of the most enjoyable one takes I've watched in a while. Looks like Matt had a blast.

[@EXOTIICxSWAGG]

Matt's pure enjoyment during this video was priceless. Beautiful build!

[@bhcshifu]

As an evo 8 owner with 600 to the wheels I REALLY enjoyed your reactions Matt! LMFAO I related to this video so much

I own a ams kitted evo 8 in uk,640 at crank these cars are soo fast bikes get blown away let alone cars theres nuts machines.

[@ashishpatel350]

Will wait for Rob to finish the shivam Evo build. Lol

[@USTankslashercoal]

I've had my Evo for 6 years and the way it puts the power to the wheels and way it treats the driver is unlike any other car. It's a beast. Never broken on me and Im still running 30lbs boost

[@gt3076rCA]

Still one of the best One Takes ever!! Love how genuine Matt is in this one specifically.

[@Crusher103]

I came back to watch this vid, this car seems like pure testosterone. The way boost comes on a force both of them into their seats, it looks terrifying and we love it. 👍

[@robfrmny21]

One of the few cars that actually looks fast on video

[@80KG_Costco_Chicken]

My mouth was still wide open the whole way even this is the XX times I watched this video. I can't get tired of watching it😂😂😂. And it makes me even more impatient about my EVO build.

[@silversixxx]

I come back every now and then and watch this .Nothing makes a grown make man laugh like that except horsepower . Pure joy

[@nepaleseman1010]

Thats what I call a real Evo, this guy has done a really good job of modifying, it must be very fast, as it takes a lot for Matt to be impressed.

[@thesolojourney8955]

Japanese, 4 door, manual, single turbo, AWD. What more can we ask for? Best car ever in my opinion ♥️

[@andydhillon1977]

I agree. I bought an '03 Evo 8 to rebuild. I can't think of a better car than this chassis. It needs some strategic upgrades but, if done right, it can be very reliable, too. The problem now is OEM parts being discontinued. 😢 A true classic.

[@MeltingSlicksLS7]

TSComp is a great tuner! I highly recommend him, he tuned my Evo IX and it came out excellent!

[@chef101100]

that was so good. the way the car was moving about on boost was jokes. my fav one take so far!

[@jameskingston]

this thing looks fun

[@djbriantalbot]

Uncomfortably fast. "Michael Jackson". The hand gestures. The pulls. I think this is my favourite One Take. Well done!!

[@LoXHumaN]

I've enjoyed this video way more than any recent video Matt, love your reactions and love the car!

[@idiotstick1527]

"This thing is f@*%ing crazy" "It's uncomfortably fast" "WOW this is terrifying" "What a maniacal, physco death machine" "I got scared, I couldn't make it to red line, I got straight up scared and said no more"

[@bstarnes514]

You know a car is truly fast when Matt is laughing! had me going too lol

[@BaberBuilt]

We will NEVER tire of Evo reviews Matt!!! Nothing much like the boost hit of a high hp Evo.

[@Xmvw2X]

Very nice Evo. It looks super well sorted. I've driven an E85 tuned Evo that was somewhat underwhelming, so it's great to see a well done one just rocket. This is one of the few tuner cars you've had on the show that really interested me. This might be the first wheelwell page I really want to look through.

[@ItsZohn]

I think Matts a little high 😂

[@erbonprzi2502]
