Just started reading 1st page.........sounds like there are some issues with the X they got as the results are not pretty. Damn I wanted EVO X to win but if tests keep popping up like this back to EVO IX for next car.......

Ouch, 0-60 and 1/4 not looking pretty!? 96 mph trap? EVO IX beat the X around the track?? Need to keep reading

 

SH*T

*reads*

 

just read it..whether the outcome would be the same or not, they should have gotten a "more healthy" X

 

ohh... dang.

Impressive on IX.

 

Based on a sick Evo X that comparison is inconclusive. Mind you I still don't think the X will win even healthy. BTW the weight comparison compares the IX MR to the X MR, which is not what they tested.

 

quarter mile time is rather disappointing, however, it is a pre-production car and it is not "heathly".

very interesting read nonetheless.

 

Hopefully when the production Evo X comes out, it will net better times than the Evo IX.

 

But quick is a relative term and compared with the IX GSR, the X could be best described as sluggish. Powered by the proven iron-block 4G63 turbo-four making 286 horses, the IX eclipsed both marks in 4.7 and 13.4 at 102.2, respectively. Seeing that the old GSR weighs a substantial 331 pounds less than the new one yet sports a near identical horsepower rating, not to mention a similar torque output-289 pound-feet versus the X's 300 (estimated)-it's not surprising that the IX was the brisker of the two.


*glances at his IX, mwahahahahaha*

 

I wonder what Mitsu's reaction/response will be to this article.

Driving me nuts on what a healthy EVO X would do. Marginally better? Much better? hmmm

 

lol your on the s2k boards

 

Doubt it...I am a sad panda...

It would be nice if the production model is faster though.

What is the point of having so much gripe if the car can't even go fast?!

 

I hear ya man.....I'm now just waiting for some newer reviews. If Evo X doesn't work out we still got the IX and who knows what other sick cars come out in 08

 

Long live the KING

 

Haha, maybe you can get the 9, but up here in the North (canada) we get jack sh*t!

 

That sucks!

I'm right below you in Seattle. Its been a cold November!!!!
