    Hybridz:

    Congratulations to Charleston Penesa's Mitsubishi EVO IX full feature on the online website www.JTuned.com. The direct link to the article: http://www.jtuned.com/statics/charlestons-evo-ix/



    JTuned wrote, "A friend of mine and I had an interesting conversation a few days ago. You don’t see too many heavily tuned cars roaming the streets anymore. Whether it be the crackdown from the local fuzz (cops), stricter emissions laws, or the down turn in available funds, not to many people are pushing the limits of tuning on the roads anymore. Now there are some positives like the increase in driving education at local road courses and auto x’s but there is something to be said about when the crews used to hang out every hour of the night waiting to see who was going to roll up and what new parts they were rocking.

    Thankfully there are hard core guys still roaming the streets like Charleston and his crew in Vegas. Charleston’s EVO IX is first and foremost a daily driver. Most daily drivers nowadays have to roll under the cloak of being a sleeper as to not alert the local authorities of what may lurk under the hood. But what fun is that?

    Charleston’s EVO sits low and wide sporting an APR wide body aero kit and 18×9.5 Enkei RPF-01’s wrapped in BFG KDW rubber. APR’s aero kit has a fit and finish not typically seen from American aero manufactures with lines matching up seamlessly.

    Under the hood, this Tangelo colored EVO’s powerplant generates over 500whp in no small thanks to the Buschur Racing 3076R turbo kit generating a positive manifold pressure of 27psi. Cosworth 272 bump-sticks orchestrate valve openings while spent gases are propelled out of an HKS titanium exhaust. BRIDE Vios 3 buckets along with Takata harnesses keep passengers strapped in during exhibitions of speed. During the shoot, Jordan and Charleston had a run in with the local authorities. While Charleston, smoothed things over with the fuzz, Jordan set up nearby to snap a couple pics. No police officers were harmed in this shoot.

    Props to Charleston for keeping to the roots of the scene and rocking the EVO on the streets. Hopefully, we’ll see more fully tuned cars on the street soon. With some of the cars slated to be released it looks like it’s just a matter of time."



























    Even the Las Vegas Police Department gives us their cooperation, respect and luv!





    Another Super Star has been born in Team Hybrid. Our well balanced team of Race-Street-Show vehicles keeps our tradition alive and continues to make us one of the most hard core competitors out there since we can compete with the best of them on all aspects/categories and not just a team full of trailer queens and/or street cars. Just like Jtuned said, "Thankfully there are hard core guys still roaming the streets like Charleston and his crew in Vegas. Props to Charleston for keeping to the roots of the scene and rocking the EVO on the streets." I couldn't of said it any better.

    More greatness to come from Charleston and his Tangelo EVO IX. I promise!

    Hybrid luv,
