  • he needs wider rims or better tired or something

  • that is completely AMAZING!!! holy shit....i dont blame him for not being able to launch that beast...i'd probly shit my pants lmfao....but one day in the far far far away future i will get my evo up to 700 hp....and when that day comes ill probly end up killing myself...haha till then im staying at 300 hp

  • What was the point of shortening the wheelbase? Seems like it would launch better if it was longer?

  • 5555 <<<<<

  • "Herp derp hurr durrr I can launch my 80hp Civic why can't this guy launch a 800hp Evo?"

    These kids are retarded. They would black out from the G forces this car generates at launch.

  • That evo is fuckin SCARY!!!

  • learn how to drive

    

  • @sledneckerx you dont even own a car like this or ever driving.. so shut up..

  • hahahahahahaha

  • the evo need to rev it higher to launch it better! thats my advise.

  • @Thappreluck07 it doesent rev higher he was hiting the limiter

  • @Thappreluck07 With that terrible english, I feel like your advice is the only one I'd ever take.

  • I figure if they are willing to spend $100,000 or more on one of these cars, they should be halfway competent while driving them. Stop making excuses for these guys.

  • this guy cant drive...

  • car has a bit to much power i think

  • There's guys out there draging funny cars runnin twice to tripple the hp as well

  • that thing must me packing serious fucking power... i mean thats AWD and its going side ways on launchs.... fucking awesome :)

  • nice car sounds gid lyk:)

  • omg, chuck norris made a fast car! =o

  • Competition clutches and dog tooth boxes are not easy to use, so launching using them is tricky.

  • oh and btw.. i have a 411 hp evo and that thing is a bitch to launch

  • InB4 faggots who cant drive stick, dont own a car, and think that by critiquing a youtube video people will be impressed...

  • thing is so hardcore it cant even launch right, not like it even matters. straight beast

  • weakest Evo launch I've seen so far! that shit did 0-60 like in 7 secs lol..............

  • man.. i waited through that whole video to watch him miss a gear...damn... cut this video down a bit. Nothing against him or his car, it happens ;)

  • i used to work for ferrari were i live and trust me once u deal with those cars and aston martins and other exotics everything with high horse power feels the same

  • i see two idiots

  • that evo hauls ass

  • goofball cant drive for shit.. There are about 20 evo's with over 1000 whp and launch WAYYYY straighter. these dudes are only worried about antilag and pretty paint.

  • @peteypab2133 Antilag and pretty paint? The Norris designs evo not only has over 900hp but has been converted to a SWB 2 door. But of course thats stupid comment is exactley the kind of thing id expect from a person who uploads cat videos to youtube

  • @Aliasify

    Say what you want but im personally affiliated with some of the fast 4cly in the world. John shep's 7 second talon as well as his 9 sec red DD evo on e85.. English racing axa paul nelson 8 sec evo david buschur 8 sec evo, so dont tell me about kittens, i share a youtube page with my girl. Oh btw, i had a 9 sec dd evo as well ;(

  • @peteypab2133 You could drive a 9 secpnd rocketship and bepersonally affiliated with Lewis Hamilton for all i care, your still a fucking knob

  • E9 yeah? lol

  • Damn Torque steer on the Evo....nice

  • to all the retards who are talking about how much of a "fail" launch the evo had watcht he vid again and see how much a 4wd car slides around with 800+hp and then stfu cause ud hit a wall if u drove it

  • @specialdeathx plus simon norris has hardly any racing experience.....

  • @le09parkour i mean even with racing experience he still did a damn good job, better then i could atm lol

  • @specialdeathx ye but the car is now for time attack and its got alot better and so has he, the cars an animal full stop..... seen it drive through my town about a year ago and it was soo loud! but im lucky haha his based like 2 mins from me :)

  • u suck!!!

  • i drag race a seven second RWD car and my clutch requires 185 lbs of force to keep it at the floor. idk if this evo is that high but its prolly close. once u start to let it out that fucker snaps out hard and yes they are very hard to launch

  • no shit ur all fags i had problems launching a 500 hp sti, competition racing clutches are so fuckin tight and tough to hold in its a bitch

  • half the problem with that launch.. is getting used to the clutch. probably viscious as hell. nice reg plate though.. EVO 9 SHORT WHEEL BASE.. theyve done a great job on this its been cut down and it looks fantastic. wouldnt of went with lexus lights though lol

  • everybody is a true born racing driver thats always better than everyone else....only on youtube...kids comparing your FWD 1.6 liter civic to this 8XX horsepower evo lol

    can you say FAIL???

  • I can launch better with my brother's civic when i was 14 than these guys lol

  • its not the launch its just a wanky piece of ford crap!!!

  • @g5pot82 a great rally car, and a super car that is still faster than a lot of new super cars today? hardly wanky, you just don't know what you're taking about

  • That car would be insanely hard to launch because of the massive turbo, the milisecond it hooks in first it's either A.) time to shift or B.) Turbo bogged because it hooked to early.

    That thing is insane anyway you look at it.

  • @ Martini drummer- Damn right, I had a chance at my friends 600bhp supra mk4 and that shit was fucking FAST! Nice evo guys, keep it up

  • anyone whos a car man would respect rather than slate !! i know the evos had a whole lot done to it if its the one im thinkin of i think i have dvd sumwer of the build n a mag with it in :P loves it . but the rs200 is the only ford i like monsters any ideas of power?

  • so hard to control thats power!

  • He needs some driving lessons...or detune the car to a manageable level of performance for him.

  • the sheer power of this car would be much better if it had a better driver

  • From the videos i've seen, this Evo is not a very good car, is it? Or maybe it's the driver?

  • that norris guy sux at life. he's an asshole.

  • @alxcsb probably just not tuned to perfection yet.

  • Hey man, please, you must write "RS 200" in the info too. I'm sure the people want to see it, rare and historic car (excuse me for the bad English).

  • its not the driver , have you morons ever herd of tourque steer , well been 12 and thinking you know it all probably not

  • yeah car so fast that driver have to shit out of his pans lol

  • the driver is sh*t man

  • u dont even know the driver.. how u can tell hes shit bcs he maked one misstake? hes a prodriver.. try search other his videos.. nexttime try to think and search some info b4 u post some of your stupid posts.. bye

  • He always makes mistakes. Look at the other videos with the norris evo, always misses the start, than misses third. The car is too much for him.

  • omfg that car is beastly and they do need a new driver

  • yeah they got a fast ass car. but they need a driver that can handle that power. every video i have seen he has fucked up in some way

  • what makes it harder is the fact its not even built for dragging anyway. its a time attack car

  • I know its gotta be crazy to even fathom keeping that beast in a line but I think it would be quicker if he kept a slow roll to like 20 then gunned the bitch. haha thats what I have to do in my 3g eclipse when I hit 308 HP I freakin had to roll everytime I raced launching was a joke

  • But I still think 1/4 miles are for pussy's.... join me in the canyon's and mountains where the roads get twisty.... Thats were the men are.

  • I would not post a video like that, Power is nothing without control!!!!!!!!! torque steer or not you need to be able to control your vehicle..... Needs redesigned... I will stick with my suby

  • this is the second sh*t start i seen this guy do...in 2 vids...i know you guys say its very hard to launch BUT cmon hang onto it...i suppose some people are weak.

  • ha at the end u hear the guys "that was such a shit start"

  • This car is immense. Major torque steer tho, but all of Norris Designs Evo's have been insane power monsters! I love them :D

  • ha come on guys this is a 917hp evo we talking about am sure you wudnt be able to keep it in a straight line from launch??

  • Anyone ever tried keeping a 917bhp evo in a straight line or launch it?

    No, because you're all fucking 14 who's dad can make their skoda launch better.

    Shutup.

    It is a damn hard thing to do. I had a go of my mates 300bhp 320d BMW a few days ago, and that nearly pulled my balls off.

    Kudos to simon norris for trying to do it, doesn't do a bad job! And kudos for building the fucking thing. It's a monster!

  • congrats for saying that its very fucking hard to do i tryied in my dad 400bhp skyline its bloody hard to do

  • @MartiniDrummer i have a 320d too, id love more info on this car you talk of! im not being sarcastic, id love to know what he has done to it? turbo? intercooler? map? cat back? injectors?

    cheers mate.

  • @MartiniDrummer . You mate got that beamer running 300bhp? What turbo he got?

  • lol

  • everyone slating these guys for not launching their cars perfectly in THIS particular video, bet 99% of you have never driven a car with even half the power of that evo or RS200, fact id say even a quarter. Probably never even launched a car with a competition clutch or straight cut box either.

  • simon norris is a poor driver in terms of motorsport, but your right that car has insane amounts of power. most people commenting on this and slating him cudnt handle it. including me

  • that is with out a doubt the most intelligent/ true statement i've ever seen on any of these car clips on youtube, and for the record I've never touched a car that has had more than 400 hp and i moved my dads truck the other day(automatic haha)

  • well thanks very much, i do get sick of reading comments on youtube by these seamingly perfect people who spend their days saying how crap everyone else is at everything.

  • if u look at the other cars that have alot of HP and Torque they launch their cars Way better than the ones in this video they need to redo the footage with the good launches not the bad ones

  • @zoso11 I agree, Or have ever driven a AWD car! Thus NFI that if you just dump the clutch (a-la saxo 1.1 style) with that much power and its not the wheels that spin its the clutch and transfer box.

  • @zoso11 ive played forza though and thats kinda the same thing hahahaha

  • @zoso11 i raced a skyline R33 with 1000 bhp from a dead stop i did it perfectly clean, not my car and it was alot better than this...

  • @s1dnac1t  1000bhp you say, Proof or GTFO

  • ha ha ha better drive a fiat 500

  • WTF!!! he cant drive the fucking car!!! he is a idiot

  • don't blame you but what the f^%k is it with that description.

  • he fuckd it up with tht launch control shit and he's a bad driver

  • I believe it could go faster but something might happen that day :/

  • How did he fuck that up with launch control???

  • hahha.. fully burned mr

  • lame

  • no point in havin alot of power if u cant put it to the ground i got a mustang wit only 600 hp if he leave like that ill dust him all day but if he put the power down he got me

  • LMAO! :D You are such a funny dude. I would say, dream on, dream on. :D Why arent there any video's of your 600hp Mustang? The only thing i see, are video's of some Quads. Really big mustangs yeah. 22 years old, and still a dreamer. :D

  • its not only the hp, you gotta think of weight, aerodynamics and the whole package

  • cant quite hold the power down like the rs.

  • the torque steer.. mental

  • if this car had this much bhp and still d handling of a stock one with that much power, it wud have been a master piece. But still its awesome

  • simply undrivable. look front wheels.. at relasing the cluch the car turn really fast to the left..800whp are hard to put on the ground

  • Racing Clutch So its Harder and with so much power and torque He would just start breaking drive shafts so he hast to let of the power aswell as the torque steer

  • you tools its a 900bhp awd beast. You obviously can't even fathom what it is to drive such a thing.

  • they tryed a arieal atom to break the record of 3.2 sec but it failed by 0.3.6 sec

  • the atom r500 holds the world record 0-60 in 2.1 seconds :)

  • it might hold the record but the gould racing puma does 0-60 in 1.7 seconds

  • yeah thats a very quick 0-60 time aswell.

  • what records that then?? since red victor one is the fastest street legal car in the world with a 0-60time of 1second and a quarter mile in 7or so seconds, i dont think it has a record mate look it up

  • production car record... MATE!

  • whats the difference between this and red victor one?? both seriously tuned/moddified, both miles away from standard, so it dont hold any street car records! go on explain to me why and how this holds the record??

  • ahh a woman drives this evo !

  • you ever tried to launch a car with this much power?

    did'nt think so

  • haha my grandma drives better than this guy

  • your grandma does'nt drive a 900bhp evo ya dick

  • yah you r right my grandmother drives a 1000hp toyota supra

  • Its ok the retard has no concept of a miss-fire :)

  • haha well said

  • i agree you should try and drive a car with this amount of power and beleive me not one of you lot could probably even get it of the line!

  • lmfao all u bell ends tht think its so easy launchin a 900+bhp car....try gettin a bite on the clutch 1st ..notice the rs200 did it?some people need to grow up

  • shit start, why post?

  • i know how hard it is to start out right so guys..please dont rib on him..maybe he just needs to get more practice...lol

  • what the fuck is up with that start lol I wouldnt of posted this on youtube lol

  • fuckers need to learn how to drive hahahahahah

  • What a shit start

  • Nasty start there. Little less power and better driver would help i'm sure.

  • thats a pretty sweet lime green geo metro =D

  • yes..... yes it is

  • Värdelös

  • i not hatein but there some nasty lagg goin on. o and about the traction 4wd worse at higher HP. rwd better. think of a folcom kind of thing more weight transfer all to rear tires. awd the fromt comes up a little and spins leaving the rear to do nothing but spin also... if u got that its the way i c it.

  • wow u are dumb thinking RWD is better then AWD at ANY HP! U probably own a honda...

  • thats why the weyron is RWD.. ohh.. fuck no!!.. its AWD.. hmmm.. thats not good.. its a wreck then.. ohh.. amdthe R8 is RWD to.. oh no.. fuck again.. its again AWD..maybe the gallardo or murcielago.. oh fuck again AWD.. dude.. a AWD machine is MORE stable and controlable as any RWD car.. it just need more power, bcs the awd sistem eats more power from the engine.. go to school and learn something about traction..

    PS: @mapeepee: i think he owns a moped.. its a RWD beast!!!.. heh..

  • it depends on the car... and to asimo watch some vits of these 100hp vipers notice they set down and go there no spinning. well there is some but its nut out of control. the bugatti is awd cu zif they sold a car like that with rwd there no way u can keep it gripping... anyway its not a Drag car im talking about drag cars. they drag race that evo and im saying rwd is better in drags... not saying street cars suck at all if thats wat ur getting at... sorry offend u...

  • It's probably torque steering like that as its still a transverse set-up. Mega high power/torque and unequal length driveshafts = torque steer.

  • ouchh!!

  • that evo always loses control on take off.. can't he just get some wider and bigger tires?

  • awd cars always have tracking problems...think about it- theres no way awd cars can do burnouts to get their tires nice and sticky like fwd or rwd cars so they sometimes slide a little

  • Not true you can burnout a 4wd car, ever heard of a limited slip dif??

  • yea i think some wide set tires with more of an off set will make that evo hook up real nice the +35 off set i have on my integ even gave me better traction and it FWD lol

  • preferred watching the ford rs200, 1. cuz theres not many of those in the US, 2. he knew how to drive :P

  • the driver of the evo knows how to drive too.

    the car is a custom short wheelbased car and it's pushing over 800 horses, and easily does 200+

    it was the power that was kicking the car sideways. and as we all know, spinning tires gets you nowhere.

  • both those guys look like they stuffed up..especially the EVO.. too much traction maybe? killed the spool or something..

  • FAIL!!!! that was pathetic. all the grip in the world... and a fail... nice car though

  • That is the worst traction ever? I have seen some bad shit before but come on the driver could of maybe made it look like he had some skill.

  • tractionsproblems!!!

  • is not the driver but the potential is great for a car to speed up the 4x4 to the maximum and turn a little is enough to lose control.

    Have more attention and do not give stupid words.

    big evolution

  • shit

  • Nob driver

  • driver!!

  • Cool Saxo

  • The Norris Evo is fucking garbage. It ALWAYS launches like this! Totally uncontrollable, the power delivery is stupid.

  • exactly mate i agree.

  • no point if it isnt controlable.

  • agree. the turbo is way 2 big. i can c it owrk in a big V8 which has alot more to spool it up with

  • what the fuck how can you go when u fuck up in the start pointless....

  • it's fast but it's not as fast as JONUS AUDI 90. audi da best muddafackaz

  • that is one of the sexiest evos ive ever seen

  • the car has 9oobhp+ he gotta learn to control the beast

  • i doubt you could control it.. no one could drive this car better than he does seen as though he built it

  • lol check out all of the video's of simon norris crash cars at castle combe,

    hes crashed nearly everyone he's built.

  • WTF was that

  • he can control it he is one of the best british drivers arounplus he did it all for himself so it is made for his driving style. Anyway this is a long time ago, now he gets some really good lap times

  • shit to much power with out control will be a lot slower compare to good staging set up

  • that mitsubishi is nice, but its just got a bit to much power.

  • Come on skipper!!!you were waitn there so long your tyres got cold again, then you fukkd the launch up anyway and carried on looking silly???should have warmed up & started again..

  • Wrong tire/rim setup and This car is not set up for Drag. too much negitive camber.

  • why the fuck did he spend su much money into that mitsubishi if he cant even control it?!

  • 800hp not exactly driver friendly

  • make that 900 now

  • I'd like that Ford RS200 :)

  • can you say "ungodly amounts of power"?
