1/4 Mile Times Inside!
There are soooo many variables around the country with times i.e., altitude, driver, tires, psi, temp, humidity, weight I mean when you are talking stock for stock IX to X those variables do come in to play. If I do get a X I hope it is as fast as my IX with my mods cause she is scary quick! Good times cause apparently the X runs much more rich than the VIII or IX stock.
FWIW I ran 13.7 in my 05 VIII here while I got used to the car and eventually ran 12.9-13.1 stock and 12.5-12.7 with a downpipe and clutch.
I know my X won't be able to do that, but I have run both cars side by side for fun and they are dead even through 4 gears...actually I was a fender in front in the X
Thats not true. IX's with only turboback exhaust and tune run low 12's. Add intake, licp, o2housing, and your knocking on high 11's on pump which is quite common. If you know how to drive the stock clutch for atleast the VIII and IX's hold up quite well. Clutch is not necessary until launching all the time or atleast running mid 11's. Some have even ran 10's on stock clutch carefully. But thats not really the topic.
Anyways the X gearing is indeed shorter. It has the same gear ratios as a IX but a shorter final drive ratio. Redline is at 104mph and revlimiter is at 110mph I believe. To me the evo has never been a drag car its just always happened to be good at it. Mitsubishi really made the X more for cornering. Their are alot of things that just aren't going to help it drag racing. Too heavy, short geared, obviously the clutch. I would think with most bolts ons and a tune mid 12's would probably be the norm. To get 11's you are either going to need to hold 4th atleast to 8k for enough trap speed or shift to 5th. Being a 15g turbo running past 7500 is probably going to be out of its efficienty range so shifting to 5th will be better but still hinder times.

So what did you run in your IX bone stock? Just curious. Every time someone talks about 1/4 times for the X you say how IXs run 12s no problem. Most owners can't get that out of one and neither can most "tuners" or whatever you call them. I have yet to see a IX run better than a 13.5 here where I live and it isn't because of elevation, dirty air, or a poor track or any other variable...it is because most people can't accomplish what you are saying is a standard time ofr a IX.
FWIW I ran 13.7 in my 05 VIII here while I got used to the car and eventually ran 12.9-13.1 stock and 12.5-12.7 with a downpipe and clutch.
I know my X won't be able to do that, but I have run both cars side by side for fun and they are dead even through 4 gears...actually I was a fender in front in the X

Doesn't the Evo IX run low 13's easily stock?"
i never run 1/4 miles . Not interested.

IX's dont run 12's stock. They run 13 flat (with a great driver), and 13.3 averaged. With trap times of 102-104. I have found two posts where someone claims to have run 12's stock, but no evidence. And without evidence, it didn't happen.
WTF are you talking about. I read the OP post and just miss the lil part that says "08 GSR SSS". I looked under his profile and it said EVO 8.
11s are easy with very few mods on the IX:

Pacific Raceways tonight. clutch held fine luckily

330' 4.464
1/8 7.606
MPH 88.18
1000 9.990
1/4 11.990
MPH 112.35
Put in 2 gallons of 100 octane to my existing 2 gallons of 92, boost was around 25psi tapering to 21psi.
mods: exhaust, mbc, boost gauge, 'johnbradley' flash, 100 octane
I love this car, 3300 miles on it so far

most 1/4 mile for the IX, i find is , 13.01- 13.05 sec. bone stock.
You can find rare times under 13 sec, but the most common is little over 13 sec.
Since i'm not a drag racer i have to go what i can find.
