New Edmunds.com Comparison Test

Hope this is not a repost. It is a very good test. And yes the X keeps looking better (although still not enough for me to consider replacing my VIII)...

Damn it looks like the GS-R is a better buy according to the video.

So it looks like the MR was faster around the track because of the bigger brakes AND more boost when the box is in super-sport mode...

Checkout photo 27 of 28. Notice the caption: "Love Evos but the new one isn't fast enough? Buy a used Evo IX."

And yet, in many other threads I'll be labeled a "fanboy" for saying the X is a bit of a downgrade...*sigh* lol

yeah, its sad that the new evos couldn't perform better than its predecessors but
they mentioned that the Evo X MR they tested had some high rev problems with sst which will be fixed eventually. hopefully, when they test the fianl version of the EVO X MR, it wont be slow but be as QUICK as EVO IX MR. sigh....

I had no idea that the Inside Line Editor in Chief Scott Oldham once worked for SCC. I guess that explains why these like Evos and STIs so much!
