Got to love it .Shiv taunts Dave Buschur on EovM and after my BuschurFlash Tune by Al, Al tells Dave it's one of the fastests Stock turbo Evos he's tuned so we get together and the next thing I know Buschur Racing and Bullit Proof Automotive team up to get me a Cusco twin carbon (my 20K old stock clutch was not long for this world) if I would rep a Buschur stage IV car for the shoot out... (I'm worried though... no one else has driven my EVO... and I heard that Magazine drivers/editors are sadistic when they aren't paying the bills!) But Hell I can't let the NoCal Cabal ride Dave on the forums for the next year...he takes enough shit for his two wheel dyno ;-). (Think Visnu will show up at the DSM shootout??? ). My bet is no... Shiv consider the glove thrown Dave got a car here will you get a car there??? Hope so because it's competition that makes out EVO's faster not DynoBarbies.

Congrats Rob,

You car is awesome-You proved it to me at GMR. Think You mentioned that you spent less than $5,000 on tuning and Mods. $35,000 for the performance. That is a great perfromance to price ratio. Good luck at the shootout.

... and I heard that Magazine drivers/editors are sadistic when they aren't paying the bills!).

Actually test drivers for the magazines typically are easier on the cars since they test all the time and know how to get the best times in anything they test within just a few runs. If the Sport Compact Car guys are driving I can attest that their main test driver, Josh Jacquot, is an excellent driver having seen him test and spent time on the track with him. You're in good hands.

it bothers me that such a grown man who clearly is bright feels the need to taunt other tunners that have specialty houses, and not just some turn up the boost shop. Shiv Should be more respectful of other tuners work with out their ground work he wouldn't have half the business he does because these are the guys who first stated tuning these cars.

go ahead flame me...I feel the same way about AL. Im also pretty sure the evo shiv sent to car and driver lost handily to the RMR evo.

Damn didn't get all the mods installed (We were thrashing on Dans car most of the day) and worst I forgot the carbon sheet I'm making my new carbon splitter so I'm not blasting to CA and at least we'll have some fun next time.
