Why are Evo X 60fts worse than VIII & IX?
So, I know older Evos on here are running high 1.5s and 1.6s in the 60ft, but Evo Xs are another story. I never seem to see Evo Xs cutting below 1.75s-1.8s 60s. It seems that even when the car's lightened and has different tires it can't hook up the same way. Any thoughts on why this is? Weight distribution? AWD system? Suspension? If anyone is running really good 60s in an X, what's your secret? Thanks.

I don't think older Evos are running high 1.5s "without too much trouble". That's pretty damn quick.

Touche... edited. I still see plenty of low 1.6s and high 1.5s though.

Given the current dispersion, you make an excellent point. Really.
