Default Modified tuner cars shootout at firebird raceway

It was a honer to get invited to the modified tuner shootout, Only 13 fastest cars were invited, and we are one of them. It was a great 2 days events. Dyno test, autocross, drag race and finally time attack. look for the result on the next issue of Modified magazine

Dyno day

That GST impreza was f-ing fast as hell. And I have no idea what Tag has done to the car this year, but its flying. It was pulling out on that red UMS tunning evo on the track like it was sitting still.

Great pic's, but you missed one of the Bugatti Veyron.

The UMS Evo was on full depth street Contisport CS3's.......

it ran a 12.2 @ 130 during the drag portion....and 1:09 during the Time Attack

give it some credit....
