You want a go kart like performer with a larger aftermarket (simply due to the age of the engine), get the IX.
You want a more refined ride that can be slightly more work in some aspects finding parts, and don't mind non-Mitsubishi people mistaking it for the the #5 most popular car for gay males (08+ Lancer), get the X.



This is a I-IX forum, you are likely to get heavy sided views. just like if you asked in the X forums. Get what works for you.

My .02 on it is, if your gonna be using it for autox/track, get the IX. If your gonna be 90% using it as a daily car to get you around town, get the X. With that said, with the right setup and mods you can have the best of both worlds. My evo 8 is nice and forgiving driving to and from work, yet nicely balanced and firm at the track.

Looks like a standard carbon plate that someone attached trunk logos on to.
