Disgustingly quick and fast Evos

APC's Evo 2 lays down 7.97 @ 176.96 mph in Australia. Full frame and AFAIK no nitrous. Respect.

Here's their website. And old time slips in the 8.0x range.

Based on my regression analysis of 1/4 ET from 1000' times from 3 years ago, here is the outcome.

Run 1Run 2Run 3
Actual 1000 ft (s)6.7996.8256.862
Predicted ET (s)8.0780568.10788.150128
Actual ET (s)8.0778.1088.162
Residual error (s)0.001056-0.0002-0.011872


And here's the prediction for 1/8 mile vs 1/4 mile trap speeds.

Run 1Run 2Run 3
1/8 mile trap speed (mph)137.95137.45134.73
Predicted 1/4 mi trap speed (mph)176.7176782176.0575569172.4664974
Actual 1/4 trap speed (mph)176.26175.51173.14
Residual error (mph)0.4576781790.547556946-0.673502563






Here's another Evo 2, piloted by Mike Reichen going 221 mph in the standing mile. In 2005 Road and Track ran a standing mile test and their fastest car, a Hennessy Viper, did 210.2 mph.
