[@calambres6614]

Also I suggest you use hard compound tires so fully expose the suspensions flaws adjust it until you no longer under steer and it will give you the grip/drift your looking for. Then go to your grip tires you will feel like your on rails

[@saadsulaiman9174]

Underated comment

[@CarsSuck]

While this is true, if he plans on running slicks eventually a grippy street tire would still be the best choice. More tire grip will translate to more suspension load fully exercising the geometry/damping.

Hey Adam, nice times out there! The slicks I was running happened to be a set of heat cycled out Pirelli dh compound, I typically run hoosier but just went out to practice that day and the car felt extremely good.

Remember the evo also has full inside trim and ac. Hardly any weight reduction and beating the gt3rs. Well done Lz and go good evo5:) best evo made:)

[@xxKURTMANxx]

Full interior sure but just about everything he’s touched has made it lighter. Subframes, driveshaft, Ti exhaust. And this TEs are dumb light btw.

[@Dang_Jim]

Gutting the car, removing the AC and heat would probably shave somewhere around 75lbs.

[@PedroPioLopes]

You do realize the Porsche also has a full trim, AC, weights around 300KG more, outputs around the same power, a bit more, worse tires for that matter and that he got used to the Evo already, unlike the Porsche, right ? Last time he tracked it he wasn't going nearly as hard as he does with the Evo. The 911s huge rear aero ain't going to do shit either way if you don't really drive it at the max, so scrap that one of your list while we're at it. As great as the Evo might be, there's still a lot of improvement to be made inside the Porsche (that is driving wise) to say the Evo is better than the 911.

[@markscheurich2196]

I believe if you bought both cars right off the showroom floor and took them straight to the track, Evo wouldn't stand a chance and if you put the same tires on both cars, drove them just as hard, the GT3 would come out on top. That being said, it's impressive what the Evo can do with someone behind the wheel like Adam, well done man!

[@foxbahary9220]

[@andrewburghgraef4556]

if he's running 1 lap tires anyways just go for the record on a7's :P

[@29Automotive]

World time attack are A050 not A052. The evo would do low 1.13 easy on A050 and they're not even a full slick.

[@clementc9975]

A DOT race slick is on average a second faster than a fast 200tw tire like the RE71R on a one minute course. The A052 is faster than the 71R given he has a few laps to put some heat into them. I would also head straight for the A7/R7 if he is leaving street tires. Hoosiers are without a doubt the fastest without going to a non-dot slick.

Totally different beast then my dsm that feels like a gt car and handles like shit. I already threw on an exhaust and turned up the boost as high as the stock fuel can handle. The car has some r888rs, cusco sways and Taiwan special coil overs. Very good info on tire temp in your past videos as well. Looking forward to getting it sorted out and seeing what it can do on 205 width tires. Hopefully I will be getting some 16s and bigger tires, but the ce9a doesn’t take to well to wide tires. The 2650lb weight should help. Keep doing what you do man. Lots of evo 123456 guys in the USA. We do things differently than the rest of the world concerning set-ups and this info is very valuable.

What caused oil to spill out of the dipstick? If it's coming out under boost you need a sealed catch can plumbed to the intake to create vacuum to pull out the blowby from the block.

Hey Adam, keep a driving book where you keep your notes for on track driving. Put almost every single spec that you have on that day and put what you want to accomplish and or looking for in your driving. Then put what you felt good doing, and what you didn’t feel good doing.
