lol. it's because i DO know what rob does - that i can hardly believe he considers that to be real racing. i can't figure out if you guys are trolling me or actually believe it.
i bet a stock evo, 9 or 10, NOT drifting the entire course would be faster than all of those runs. so yea, i say SCCA results are more legitimate than the show they put on. or if it makes you feel better, i'll say that the evo x is a much much better drift car than the evo 9 is lol.. but that drifting isn't the fastest way around a track.
and again, i'm not even saying the X is slower, not an evo, whatever - if it makes you feel better, i will even say that the X is the fastest evo of all time - but I STILL wouldn't call that show a real race lol. get your head out of your bias
and finally, i believe these are some real results that DO show multiple times the Evo X beats the Evo 9 - of the very guys in that show. would have made much more sense if Rob had post these up instead of that. so as far as saying the video above was a real race.... no

From a realistic standpoint, availability is a BIG deal for people trying to decide between getting an VIII/IX and a X. The previous models were made from 2003-2006, compared to the current models being made from the 2008 model year to now... the X has been produced and sold for nearly twice as many years and is still available new.

I think the X looks bigger, more adult looking. I used to LOVE the look of the 03-06 evo's/ In fact, since I saw one, I wanted one. But then the x came out, and I stopped caring for the look of the older model. But hey, they are all BA, good choice no matter which way.

because I can't find a new VIII or IX.
X is a great car on its own though.
My X MR is a great DD that's refined out of the box ... looks grown up, good power, kick *** handling (far better than VIII or IX).. and DCT is a great transmission...
But, I do always miss the rawness of my boyish VIII and IX's that owned not too long ago...

Personally, I like how the X looks over the 8/9. The X has a more aggressive front end, it's blunt shape rather than the pointy "pedestrian"/ricer look of the previous. For the most part, it's just newer. It has better tech and upgrades than the one before it, and the styling is more modern.
If I had a new IX or a new X I'd choose the X, just cause.

The X if you want to look cool with fancy info screen and damn large mirrors that can't see **** when making sharp left. The VIII/IX for that raw feeling of shut-up and drive.
I own and daily drive them both. They're different. The VIII is more agile, feel lighter, easier tossing around when approaching the limit. The X feels heavier, but sure-feet handling, feel quicker on those on ramp curves but I feel that it's not as easy to toss around like the VIII.
It's hard to describe in words. You have to drive them both to know.
