evo X MR 3rd overall on inside line

Hey, don't know if anyone else saw this yet. Evo MR sounds like it will hold it's own. Third overall after the GT-R and the Audi R8. Dollar for performance, not too shabby.

other than the gtr, looks like they suck at driving in a straight line.

Inside Line also did a test with the new X GSR, X MR, new STI and an '06 IX MR. Pretty cool to see the older IX beat them all. I am surprised the X outscored the Porsche. It seems to be a pretty solid performing car overall.

Good find. The X still looks top heavy to me, more so than the VIII and IX.

No C6 Z06 or Dodge Viper SRT-10???? Oh well.

EDIT:

I saw the video but I just read the article and it said that Chevrolet and Dodge were too chicken to loan them one of their Z06's and Vipers haha
