A couple weeks ago I drove up to Buttonwillow to meet up with Sierra Sierra for a couple days of testing. What a lot of people forget is that the SSE EVO 8 is still a new car. Already the SSE EVO is being compared to some of the fastest, more highly developed cars, but its only competed in only one time attack and has only been on the track three times in it’s life. So while the guys at SSE built a good car to begin with (and Cosworth builds a good 4G63), no ground up built unibody race car rolls off the trailer without any teething issues. On top of that the goal was to make some significant improvements in the car’s handling and lap times. NOTE: this post is just an update on the car. I’m not at liberty to discuss what improvements were done to the car in detail to improve it’s performance since it’s not my car.
