Sorry for not being a FnF guru like you, oh rice master. Who freaking cares it was slow...end of story.

 

I didnt buy a IX because I felt that my Camry was a much better ride. Grant it it launches for crap, poor handling, but the ride is so smooth.

 

i bought my IX so i wont have to buy the X which shares the same engine with daimler/chrysler and hyundai.

 

That's a great reason...oh no wait, the 4G63 was also used/shared with daimler/chrysler and hyundai.

lol I wish I could read a thread that hasn't been posted a billion times. Just buy and enjoy w/e you like. If you always think the next car is going to be better, you will always be stuck in the same place. If the X turns out to be a tuners friend and better than what you have, then sell your car, but the I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, and IX are all great in their own respect.

 

What an idiot of him LOL! noob!

 

PWND

I guess he is going to have to sell his IX now and get a ford.

 

evoX is going to be better i guess but i agree with you the IX,VIII and VII are agressive cars and they look fantastic,and real simple inside and thats why they look so great and everybody likes them.
i did the same like you did,bought an evo IX(mr)just a week ago.made my dream come true

 

Why is this thread still up. Any car can be made to handle well and go fast. Stock for stock the new evo may be faster, but that is why there are aftermarket products to make the cars lighter and faster. In the end it's all about who has the more money.
The current evo's have proven themselves to be well rounded cars with an awesome engine. Hopefully the new platform can live up to the expectations of the current gen Evo's.

 

It'[s called evolution for a reason, it gets better every time and it is not going to stop with the evo X no matter what anyone says..

 

I believe the X will be a better car, but not necessarily an Evo. The CT9A platform was at least run in races and rally cross for many years and much of what was learned from racing was transferred to the consumer. The X looks to be more or a street car and with no attention paid to it's rally heritage. Mistu is out of Rally too which REALLY bothers me.


The IX to me is the ULTIMATE expression of the 4G63, a full 20 years of enhancement and development has led to that. It's a 1 year stop gap car which went out on top, to me that is reason enough alone to own one. The X is will attract an all new crowd, more refinement and a better street car. I have no idea if it'll be a better track car but it's platform (Albeit a platform sharing bastardization) is promising as well.

Things have to change I guess, and I chose to stick with the 4G63 which has a generation of Knowledge and parts made for it. It may not be the new kid on the block but it'll be King for a WHILE.

 

You still think it will be the king when the Evo X posts faster times in the drag and at the road tracks?

And don't give me the aftermarket parts BS, believe me, there will be a TON of parts for the X!!!

 

What I bolded is the important part as well as the failure of your argument. 4G63T have years of aftermarket supply, while the new engine will be limited for a few years due to test/tune, and R&D. It may take take a few years if not many more for the 4B11T aftermarket to equal if not surpass current 4g63T aftermarket

Until we have actual results of the Evo X...4g63t is still king.

I love how people ASSUME how the Evo X will perform. Please do not quote magazine references....not everyone a professional/skilled driver.

 

What is this WHEN BS? You have the ability to look into the future I see, that or you are ***UMING. The 4G63 has 20 years of development while the new X is just that, brandy new and will take many years of Trial and error before it reaches the ease and second hand nature the DSM/EVO world so conveniently provides. Just look at how long the 350 has been around? Jesus how easy is it tomake that thing fast.

 

Lets just all be friends and hug.
