Anyone see Evolution Performance facebook page?

The BEAST will be Unleashed - 01.12.18


Along with a photo of Predator (like the alien guy in the movie)

:ford:
People still follow them? Thought people stopped caring when they found out ripping off customers and charging for parts NOT actually on the cars.

I know when I go by there it is maybe 25% of the cars sitting there then it used to be. The lot used to be PACKED with customers Mustangs, now its maybe 2-3 at all.

Yeah someone (GT500 owner) had an engine blow and the teardown showed it DIDN'T have the parts they were billed for. The guy went to Evo's Builder (forget the shops name) and said WTF. They came back with a DIFFERENT build order that Evo had requested, which matched what was in it, but NOT what the customer had requested and was charged for.

Last I heard the customer never got refunded the price difference and Evo wanted to charge for another build. Now people wonder how many engines Evo did that were not really built as strong as they thought/paid for and are now timebombs. The full story is on SVTP and a few other sites.

I like to disassemble things.
That was a mess and I got to hear all of it as the forum moderator.

Really sucks as they are in my town so having a Mustang specialty shop so close was REALLY convenient.

Here is a question I haven't seen asked.

If there was a GT350 and GT350R, who thinks that there will be a GT500R?

It should be GT500KR if they do.

Not defending Evo but it seems like every shop these days has a story like this...

No, you're right. There are a lot. I wonder how much of that is due to the internet being able to spread word much faster. Not even 20yrs ago it was mostly word of mouth.

I think if we see a GT500R it will be drag strip focused.
I think it would be safe to bet that there will be a zl1- 1le competitor from ford. It may or may not be called a GT500, but there is a good chance it will start with GT500 x or xx?
