dynoflash totally wrong. the new evo x with 415 flywheel hp run like 4.0 seconds 0-60. The ix 260whp probably run like 4.4 seconds. So the evo x with 400whp would do better than 4.0 seconds.

I bought my IX as a keeper. No plans to sell it. Ever.

I can't recall a car similar to the (CT9A) Evo gracing the USDM, and we'll probably never see anything like it again. A car this raw and direct, composed yet ferocious, is not a common occurrence at all. I've certainly haven't driven anything like it in my humble 30 years behind the wheel. Once I did, I knew that I had to buy one to keep.

Aaah, don't feel left out. I bought my lowly VIII as a keeper back in 04 and still love it to this day

That is a very good article though!
