Not sure what has been posted about this car.
This is from my country New Zealand. The owner of Speed Tech Motorsport Andre Simon previous car was an evo3 nicknamed DOCILE and ended up with a best of 8.23 @ 179.5mph. He also has a customer’s 4wd mirage hatch that he built running 8.43@ 162 mph and tunes the HTL GTR skyline which holds the 4WD world record with a 7.57. This is also a customer car and is still quite early in development still not running full boost. I think at full boost it is 1001whp. Great things to come for STM!
Here are a few passages he has written
“I'm guessing that on the current boost it might be making sumwhere between 800-900 whp. I would expect the car to be trapping at 170+mph once it is running full boost. At the end of the day we are drag racing not dyno racing though so I'm not gonna get too hung up on the power figure
I think the limiting factor may be the 24.5 x 8" slicks. There is only so much power that we can put to the track through these small tyres, and we will need a great track to make it happen.”

1st pic is his old evo3 drag car that did 8.23 @ 179.5mph I think it dyno’d somewhere in the 1200whp region

it was limited to 8k rpm and this engine is going for 11k rpm. If you read the thread it also had a little miss which is now fixed...
I wonder if AMS is going to respond if their title gets taken or will they wait for the JR Motorsports/Magnus evo to break some records and then trumph them both???
I hope Dave and Andre break the 7's and make it a very exciting year for the triple diamond

Hey guys, thanks for all the support and kind words. It is appreciated!
I thought i would jump on and clear up a few things. I'm also happy to answer any questions you may have.
The engine is actually a complete EVO VIII unit with non-mivec head. The chassis however is a genuine EVO IX. IMHO for our drag application the cam control of the MIVEC head would not provide any worthwhile gains as we operate across a fairly narrow rev range.
The car was tuned to 42 psi peak, where it made 1001 whp on our Dynapack dyno. This was not a full run however as we were chasing some ignition gremlins. It made 1001 whp at 8000 rpm and then the ignition cut ending the run. My guess is that a full run out to 10k+ would have made closer to 1100 whp. As I posted on the NZ MMC forum though, we are drag racing, not dyno racing so I'm not gonna get too hung up on the power figures
For the first few meetings we have been running the car at about 32 psi peak (in 3rd and 4th gear) while Dave gets used to driving it (he is doing a pretty impressive job if you ask me! Maybe a career in professional drifting is a possibility??
) This probably gives the car around 800-900 whp. I would expect once we turn it up that the car will be trapping around 170 + mph.
We are using an Ikeya sequential shifter with our own design 'ghost-shifter' system. Nicknamed because it looks quite eerie watching the shifter move by itself in the in-car video. This is an air actuated system controlled by the Motec ECU and was designed by STM.
The limiting factor for the car at the moment is the 24.5 x 8" slicks we run. This is to meet rules for the Sport Mod class Dave runs in. We are going to need a VERY good track to put all the power down, so fingers crossed! I'm guessing that 8.2-8.4 will be possible on the right track with these slicks though (one of our other cars has gone 8.43 @ 163 on the same slick). Ultimately if they really hold Dave back, we can always go to a larger slick and move into the Pro Import class.
Hope that answers some of your questions?

Sounds Nuts and Expensive..
What would someone expect to pay for sumthing like this??

Just came back from NZ Four and Rotary, but to bad it started to rain!
Saw the STM Evo 9 running 9.02 on humid condition.
Hopefully for them track dry and they could get under 8.4
