Also, I think the IX's have to be at least 305-315hp. They are straight up FAST!

 

Thats what I thought

 

less hp cheaper insurance

 

Whats up robdogg? I saw your slowass on the freeway last night hahahaha. jk.

I hope you feel a difference with those rims n cause they sure were expensive haha.

 

That's not what you said last night

 

Yeah I know hence the term "jk."

 

But hey let me know when u get back from nor cal.

 

I dont really care how much HP my evo 9 got, all I know is that I love my evo no matter what.

 

^AWE How Sweeeet. Now I know you dont say that to your gf. hahahaha

Honey, it dont care how big your boobiesare I love you no matter what hahahaha.

 

The SAE changed its hp rating standards for 2006. Some manufacturers have adopted these tougher new standards, some have not. Although they do not mention it, maybe Mitsubishi is using the new SAE standards. This would explain why the hp ratings did not change very much, but the dyno readings did. The dyno's are the same, the rating system just changed?

 

Evo 9's are putting out 260-270whp from what Ive seen.

 

I dont think thats it. The SAE hp standards did change but if anything the EVO would then be rated at well over its 286 number. I think those changes were mostly put in effect to weed out the companies who were overrating HP figures, such as Toyota and Honda.

 

I agree with you! My IX MR put 265whp

 

Japanese-spec cars were limited by a gentleman's agreement to advertise no more than 280 PS (276 hp).

So this might be true for the U.S also.

The Evo IX actually has a real output of about 320 PS (315 hp).

 

^^^for stock at the wheels or at the crank tho ??
