In the side by side video of the IX and X, the IX seems to be more stable under load and has less body roll. Also, the IX's rear tucks in easily during cornering while the X seems loose. There's also a bit more dive in the X. The IX seems to be a bit sharper over all. I'm not bashing the X, just sharing my observations.

A Similar assumption was made when they did a similar test between the Evo VIII and the IX.

The reason they later concluded was the fact the Evo IX was going faster than the VIII through the cones.

IT may be the same here, but its hard to tell when you can't understand that they are saying.

Man, that thing GRIPS. Those chicanes were intense but it held strong. The IX looked sexier and a LITTLE faster in the side by side as well. Basically identical runs though.

I'm surprise how well the SST performed throughout the track judging it from watching the tachometer. It performed just like a manual transmission only done for you which allows the driver to focus more on driving. I've never driven such tranny before and I was anticipating some sort of delays and gear-hunting on the video; amazing is the word to describe my astonishment. As much as I hate automatics, but I believe the SST on the EVO X is an exemption. Differences in handling is almost non-existent between the IX and X even if the new model being heavier as it is.
