AMS Denmark VS AMS Germany Drag EVO battle!

There has been a friendly battle brewing between AMS Germany & AMS Denmark Drag EVOs. Last year Lars piloted the AMS Denmark EVO to a 9.21 @ 162 MPH run taking the title of Denmark’s fastest car. Later on Lars also managed a 9.01 @ 156.18 MPH ¼ mile pass earning the title of Europe’s Fastest and Quickest EVO.  However Paul Dziubek and AMS Germany have been catching up to Lars times and recently the team managed to blast off a 9.09@ 156 MPH quarter mile pass with the car only running 2.5 bar of boost. Knowing there is plenty left on the table AMS Germany called out Denmark to a duel, naturally Lars accepted the challenge. In preparations for the race the Denmark evo has undergone some major changes including a slew of AMS go fast goodies  and even an AMS Drag EVO custom turbo kit as pictured below.

AMS Drag Evo VIII to compete in the Texas Mile – Update

Well our beloved drag car is now about to get loaded into a trailer for the Texas mile. The finishing touches were performed the past few days. Some final aero steps were taken on the front bumper. The air horn was applied to the turbo. The cage was seamed up in a couple more spots for added safety and rigidity. The exhaust was finished as well with a very cool and unique look out the front bumper. The air to water setup and Radiator were totally finished and Justin performed some last minute adjustments to the suspension and alignment. Or course last but not least she got her throw back sticker treatment. Toss in a little paint on the bumper and Texas here we come!

AMS Drag Evo VIII to compete in the Texas Mile!

March 26th marks a new day for our beloved Drag EVO VIII. She has laid dormant for a while waiting to take a trip down the track. Well we got tired of waiting

We have decided while the ground thaws in balmy Chicago we should toss the AMS Drag EVO VIII into the trailer with the GT-R and Porsche 996TT and drive to Texas. last year we competed in the Texas mile and had a BLAST! We thought this year we would shake things up a bit and bring out something to turn some heads.

In order to achieve this we have to change some things on the drag car. Many of you remember the current engine layout below:
