I realize it's a LOT of torque, I just figured it'd have more considering it's HP numbers.

that car weighs a lot more than 2000lbs. its probably just above 3000lbs

Haven,t you noticed the strip interior and rollcage. No way 3000 lbs

evo rs, factory stripped, no power anything, gutted trunk, weighs 3175
evo and evo mr weigh 3263

so when an evo loses the wing, guts the trunk and removes power accessories, it weighs 3175. lets say that removing the back seat, door panels and carpet takes out another 100lbs. that puts the car at 3075. then lets say removing AC is another 50lbs. and upgrading to aftermarket exhaust puts it at another 25lbs lighter

3000lbs by taking stuff off.

now lets talk about the stuff they added

roll cage easily weighs over 100lbs

the turbo they put on weighs probably a good 25 lbs more than the stock turbo and that new turbo manifold weighs probably the same as the stock one, if not more. add in about 10lbs for the wastegate setup

that would put the car at 3135lbs

and looking at the video again, i noticed that the car still has doorpanels, atleast on the front doors, and its not an RS so it has power windows

can you think of anything signifigant that i missed in making my original judgement that that evo weighs about 3000lbs?
