Father, Faster, Stronger - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

Anthony Perrea's dad went through a midlife crisis. Luckily for us, he decided to buck the trend of buying a Corvette and opted for a 1994 JZA8 twin-turbo Supra with a 3.4-liter stroker kit that puts out over 1000hp. Would you let your dad one-up you like that? Anthony didn't, and he proved it with this 936 wheel-hp Evo VIII. "No, Dad, I won't need to borrow your car."

The first thing you notice about Perrea's vehicle is the rice-a-roni VeilSide wing and sideskirts, Gialla front bumper with APR front diffuser and custom black-and-silver two-tone paint finish. Good thing that's not all his Evo has. Although Anthony is no slouch when it comes to modifying his own cars, he knew a project like this would require the specialized talent of noted Evo tuning virtuosi, AMS.

For the complete story on this 1000hp EVO, pick up the July 2007 issue of Sport Compact Car, on newsstands now!
