Evolution Performance is never one to stand idle on past achievements and this time is no different as they pull out all the tops to propel their 2013 Shelby GT500 down the quarter-mile for an 8-second run.  What makes an 8-second Shelby GT500 you might ask?  How about a fully built 5.8-liter race engine from L&M along with a 3.6-liter Kenne Bell Twin Screw Supercharger.  That combination along with a handful of other mods was good for a 8.94 second run @ 159 MPH.  Keep reading to watch the video.   … Continue Reading
