Which is faster? ...Nurburgring lap time reference.
After seeing post after post of "Which is faster EVO or (?)" threads I decided to put together this abbreviated list, Enjoy! ...Sorry, no 1/4 mile times listed here.
Note that the EVOs listed here may have had SAYC which may yield a tenth or two here and there compared to the US spec car.
The ultimate road course ...Nordschleife (excluding GP track), 20.6 kms,12.8002 miles :

I'd like to see a stock EVO break into the sevens some day, sorry to say but I don't think we'll never see a production EVO break into the sixes. And if it one day it does I won't be able to afford it.

If all the Gizmos on the EVO X work then maybe...

There is some pretty major hardware between the Evo and the top. I think the high 7s may be doable, but it may be a couple of generations down the road. I've been lucky enough to drive the Ring last year, I imagine there must be some big time pucker factor to get down to the low 7s.

True. Don't kid ourselves. Nurburgring is where the Evo shines. If it weren't important to Mitsubishi they wouldn't consistently get busted by magazine spy shots as they run their Evo prototypes around the ring.
I don't know how much of difference there was between the STi Spec C prototype and the production version, but the 7:59:41 time they pulled off gives me at least a glimmer of hope that a future USDM Evo will crack into the prestigious 7 minute club.

You mean an established DTM driver who has experience driving the ring. That's one course that takes more than a few laps to master.
