Mitsubishi Lancer Evo street races American muscle cars

If you are a fan of American muscle, do not watch the slaughter video below. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is one of the fastest production vehicles to grace the face of the planet once properly modified. Modifications include upgraded turbo, exhaust, intake, fuel system, engine internals, and ECU programming to accommodate the extra power. Modifying a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution for high power gains isn't cheap, but it is cheaper than most vehicles. Racing against the likes of America's pony cars, this Mitsubishi dominates all it encounters.

The following footage shows a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution built by AMS that literally kills everything it encounters. Running 30 PSI with all the supporting mods and all-wheel drive make this a very potent race vehicle. Street racing against some of America's best modified vehicles, the true power and engineering of JDM is clearly illustrated as the Evo wipes the streets with it's competition.

Why is the Evo so fast? Clever JDM engineering, light weight chassis, and an amazing all-wheel drive system driven by forced induction creating over 600 wheel horsepower is a deadly combination. It takes some time to build boost, but once the lag is over watch out! This star ship is not taking any prisoners. The next time you chastise a "ricer" make sure the badge on the back doesn't say "Evolution". It will make you eat your words.

    Awesome video. There's no question that the imports are neck and neck with the domestics now as far as performance goes.

    However, to be fair, none of those domestics were modified as heavily as the Evo was.

    Very true! They are pushing comparable numbers though. I like the last race where the classic muscle kills the EVO. 300 shot of NOS can fix anything lol.
