EURO Road Trip in the EVT700

Back in the UK now - little sleep, lots of high speed driving, testing and over 1000 miles logged!

We decided to drive to the Essen Motor Show last minute instead of flying. WOW what an experience. Driving in Europe was amazing and on the Autobahn was a dream. The thought of driving unlimited speed without the risk of loosing my licence is an amazing concept. We made short work of the 500 mile trip driving through the night from the UK through the Channel tunnel to France, then on to Belgium, the Netherlands and finally ending in Germany. We attended the Essen show with only a few hours rest in the car but it was well worth it. More to follow.

Tuning Elizebeth !

God save the Queen!

From Todd UK

OK, I'm not sure if the Queen even has a performance ride. I'm sure she has some bloke driving her around. Regardless, I'm in the UK with Premier Development Partner, Regal Autosport Ltd.

I landed at Heathro and within minutes, Chris Steward picked me up to start tuning. Check out the link for 997's with EVOMS EVT700 Performance Systems, and an Audi TTS. More to come throughout the week. Plus a trip to the Essen Motor Show in Essen Germany.

Now, I'm off to find the Queen, and wish her a Happy Thanksgiving! I wonder if she'll give me a slap in the head for that???

Cheers!

Todd

The Apollo Has Landed!!

Tempe, AZ - Gumpert Sportswagenmanufaktur GmbH and Evolution MotorSports announced Gumpert has selected Evolution MotorSports in Tempe Arizona as their US market final assembly and Performance Validation center for the Gumpert Apollo.

The Gumpert team has chosen Evolution MotorSports due to their exceptional technical background, unparalleled facility and their commitment to perfection. In addition to the final assembly, Gumpert feels it is imperative for all US cars to be Performance Validated and comprehensively checked, all before being delivered to the exclusive United State Distributor, European Touch in Huntington Beach California.
The Gumpert Apollo is a hand made supercar, available in a Street, GT or Race Car Configuration. The Apollo was recently featured on an episode of the UK Automotive show “Top Gear” where it was celebrated as the fastest around their test track over the last several seasons.

Gumpert representatives have stated that “The selection of Evolution MotorSports was an easy choice. Evolution MotorSports dedication to providing an excellent finished product, attention to detail and customer service have no rival that could come close to providing the finished product required.”

Todd Zuccone, Founder of Evolution MotorSports commented, “We we are enthusiastic about the opportunity to assemble and test the Apollo. When we examined the Gumpert Apollo I knew that EVOMS was the correct choice for assembly and Performance Validation. Our exceptionally high technical ability, standards and commitment to excellence are all qualities that Evolution MotorSports customers have known for a long time.

EVOMS Sponsored - Regal Autosport Porsche 997 heads to Truxton - GB

VW Racing Cup champion Tony Gilham and the EVOMS Sponsored - Regal Autosport Porsche 997 heads to Truxton this weekend to compete in race 4 of the GB Carrera Cup. Tony Gilham will be driving with support of the team at ReDesign Racing, and backed by Karl Chopra of Design 911, Chris Stewart of Regal Autosport, Kieth Davies of Little Mote Garage, sponsored by DesignTek and Evolution MotorSports.

The Race Car
The new Porsche 911 (997) GT3 Cup is entering the 2008 motorsport season with engine output increased to 420 bhp. The car will be raced in the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup, the world’s fastest international brand trophy, and worldwide in national Porsche Carrera Cups and GT3 Cup Challenges. 265 units of this production-based racing car developed in Weissach will be built on Porsche’s production line in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen.

Definition of Insanely Tuned

Well after over 500 dyno pulls, ~2500 dyno miles, ~300 tuning files, ~2500 road miles, numerous top speed runs, track events, drag races, etc, etc, etc, etc, the final 997TT EVT700 is nearly complete. I wanted to let you all know the latest developments. Yesterday, John and I spend what looks to be our final day beating our heads against the wall figuring out the quirks of the 997TT ECU functions. I can assure you that there is no other 997TT performance system on the planet that has more tuning time than this one. The countless time we spent is not because we are not knowledgeable about the car or the tuning, it is because we would not settle for the "industry standard" MEDIOCRITY. If we were marketing this kit in Europe, where the fuel is 98 octane at the pump or here in the USA as a "race"100+ octane system, the tuning would have been completed 4 months ago. We have spent 98% of our time getting this car to perform flawlessly and consistently on our pump fuel in our desert climate.

Consistency is the key to the flawlessness. The car can make decent power while making cold power runs. The difference between the power from run 1 (cold) to run 2 (warm) to run 3 (hot) could vary 100 wheel HP. We have seen this time and time again with the lower grade fuels. Our goal for 4 months was to make nearly the same amount of power and torque for all runs including 2 additional hot power runs consistently. Granted, the conditions in our dyno cell are not ideal in terms of exact road simulation, however if we could achieve our goal in simulation, the road power should be greater than the dyno power. Those of you who have witnessed the madness over the past 4 months, know only a portion of insanity that was going on in my head. I made up a whole new vocabulary of words to call this car. After the cursing, I found myself talking to it like it wanted to listen to me. Ha, it laughed at John and I day after day, week after week, month after month. There was a period of 3 weeks and nearly 100 files that we tested which we started and ended up in the same place. We started from scratch 4 different times and ended back at ground zero. After many translations from babble fish as well as help from my German friend, who assisted with translating nearly 3000 look up tables to find the ones that would ultimately help cure the inconstant power, we found the proper recipe that brought all of the work together . At this point, I can read and translate German, I am writing a new vulgar vocabulary book, my co workers confirmed my insanity, I dream about green and black computer screens, I have been called stubborn bastard who never gives up, I have many new gray hairs, oh yea we will be officially launching the EVT700 with EVOMSit "intelligent tuning" software. Thank you for your patience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EVOMS EVT700 Cold Weather Testing... In April???

How would a guy from AZ know that it could snow at the end of April in MN? Well, so much for a track event with Luis of FRÄGSPEED Motorsports in Brainard MN. We will have to plan for June. You guys ever have snow in June?

Another EVT700 Dominating the Track!!

This is a photo of my good friend and dealer Luis Galan of Autodynamica, our Mexico and Texas BSD distributor. He and his customer participated in a track event over the weekend with this EVT700. They were nearly 3 seconds faster than the next closest competitor. Good job Luis, way to kill the competition

First SNOW Fling?

Mike sent this picture of Luis FRÄG driving the EVOMS 997 EVT700, designated #41 by the MN PCA for First Fling this weekend.

Notice the forest? That is because they are not on the BIR street course. The weather went crap (3 days of snow and ice) and a few First Fling members took to driving south to find the sun. As it turns out, a drive back into the twin cities was all that was needed.

More to come... and watch the snow drifting! We'll be back to Brainerd International Speedway soon.. perhaps June!

What a kick off to spring...

I've got Mike at the "Brainerd International Snow Plow tourney" with our 997TT EVT700 and his 996TT GT780 3.8L for the huge PCA 1st Fling event in MN. Check out the slippery competitors. Thats snow on the rear window! Its almost MAY, how do they live like that?

Not to worry of course, Mike is with our old Arizona pal - Luis. They are fighting off the cold and the snow... but, the forecast is clear for Saturday and Sunday so, we're hoping for some great pics and vids early next week... now, let me ask something serious...

WTF is a FRÄG???

Luis says, "It's simple.. it's my last name + Porsche = FRÄG + Speed = FRÄGSPEED Motorsports"

I would like to take a moment to congratulate Luis on his new company - FRÄGSPEED Motorsports announced this weekend at Brainerd in conjunction with the "First Fling".

Luis will be representing the Evolution MotorSports business in the mid west of the USA and we could not have built a better representative if he were modeled in SolidWorks by Daryl and welded up by Al!

Such great things lining up for the EVOMS entire team!! Can you smell it?

Congrats Luis!!!

Finally, someone in marketing programs "Gets It"! I gave my DNA today!

Another Post

Nothing new for today. Just working on the site and finding how the buttons work. Found a cool shot from the first "soft launch" of RACE FUEL, my High Octane Energy Drink.

Parvin took at early batch down to Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point) in the summer of '07 for a BIG TEX and the BLAZIN' PINTOS show!! Cool, right? RACE FUEL... poolside!













Check out some of my videos in the custom player. Great shots of Rhino skills.. "NONE" of me, just great shots! Later... links for picture folders!

ZÜCZSPEED Post #1

So, this is where it will begin.

Posts about everything important and nothing relevant to world peace. However, bet that it will be about performance. One of my interests is performance vehicles, road racing, off-road racing, speed...bottom line is I am a speed and adrenalin junkie!

Here is my latest creation, a 997TT with the EVOMS EVT700 Performance System at Firebird in Arizona!

Here is my buddy Mikes 996TT with the EVOMS GT780 3.8L Performance System at PIR in Arizona!
