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

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.

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.
