Ask any track junky including me; saving a full 2 sec. a lap on such a small course is mighty impressive.
And yes I am an Evo owner. In fact I own 2.
Just curious, on the track, if you were to run 2 seconds faster than other cars, would it be considered as DOMINATION or winning by a little bit?

Ask any racer, any real racer....it doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning.

This reminds me of an old joke about (not by) Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy....

Laurel and Hardy are down to their last dollar. Ollie goes into a store and comes out with a bag.
Stanley says, "How could you spend our last dollar, what did you get?".
Ollie says, "A box of tampons!"
Stanley says, "What the hell can we do with that, you moron?".
Ollie says, "Well, it says right on the box...we can go to the beach, we can go bicycle riding...."

I like the X, but I'm happy I went with a IX RS.

I'm not in the market to buy a different car so the IX will stay.

So far I do not like what I see and i dont intend on purchasing one but I would still like to at least drive it. When they are available do you think my dealer will allow me to test drive it considering my VIII is totally payed for? Or would I have to go through the standard can you afford this car credit check BS.
