A re-cap of the results would be cool for those of us who can't see the videos because of...um...corporate constraints. i'm forced to look at evom solely on my phone during work hours. i'm posting this from my phone

its the article that was released last month..just that the vids were uploaded today

 

Oh ok, thanks!

 

Psssst, Evo X beat STI on the 1 mile track by about a second, now go back to work for the corporate America

 

Well the Evo X might not be my favorite car i will give it up to mitsu for still being able to hold off the new STI in most catagories.I think on the street the Evo X stock for stock will have a hard time beating up on STI's because of the extra weight and power, i still feel that the Evo will be more mod friendly and put down some good numbers once the market catches up though.

 

thanks. i'm in a meeting...

 

thanks for the posting!

 

The evo redlines at 6500 rpm's and the STI at 7000k that seems a little low for the X

 

i think its the opposite...sti is like 6,700 , evo is 7,000, as shown on page 4

holy evo is better looking and performing too

 

LOOKS LIKE EVO VS. SAAB

my girl says....

 

 

In the vid the driver is changing X gears at like 6500rpm's

 

Interesting comment by the tester in the video, he mentioned that with every new run Evo seemed to get faster and faster (not so with the STI), so I am thinking that there is much more to Evo X performance than initial runs seem to indicate, just gotta figure out the sweet spots of the car a bit better, same as with Evo VIII/IX where initial tests would suggest that Evo VIII/IX were around 5 second cars but as time went on magazines were able to launch Evos in 4.5 sec range. While Evo X may not get to 4.5sec, I believe that it's a sub 5 second car. Just gotta get my hands on one.
