Notice that the IX pulls away from the X on the straight in the track battle clip.

I have a feeling by the end of the race the Evo X will be in front of Evo IX, we all know that straight line speed is not what Evo is about.

So it pulled away. No big deal.

We already know that in the UK they have a warrantied Evo X FQ series at 360HP (on the 5spd). Clearly it take more power.

Bring on the mods!

I think that the Evo X did 13,6s @ 1/4... The last test with the Evo 9 was 12,8s!!!
check here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUXOxvTP9SU
This is JDM vs JDM

If I remember the rules at BMI the fastest cars start in the last position... so the Evo IX is the fastest car in the group and jumps to the front in the first lap!

also notice the starting position, the IX was all the way at the back. the IX wins this battle hands down. in one clip you can see the IX pass the X SST. i doubt the X can get back in front of the IX on such a short and twisty track.

also notice the 5MT gets the jump over the SST at the drag. not surprising of course. no word that the SST is getting launch control yet.

Then Evo V would be a better car, only weighs 2800 lbs. we could always evolve backwards.

BUT there's that one clip that looks like the SST comes out on top at the end. the one bit where the guy is in auto mode and is pointing to his left. i assume he's pointing at the 5MT??? which is not on screen and so must be behind???
Just keep in mind these are JDM cars. That JDM IX has the AYC which USDM IXs don't have. I'd bet that JDM IX is faster than the JDM X. But, I'd also bet that a JDM X or USDM X would beat up a USDM IX.
