Edmunds comparison of IX and X

Sorry, if this is a repost, but I haven't seen this one since I've been around (and it didn't come up in my search before I posted)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lii_p...-vs-Evo-IX.htm

I like it because they give props to both cars and shows strengths and weaknesses for both. Most people lose sight of this as they bicker about which is better.

Hope you like.

Greta find and great review. I hear more and more favorable things about the Evo X everyday.

Off Topic: Did the narrator sound like Donald Trump to anyone else?

Great find ... can't wait to hear how the Evo X bashers will nitpick or distort this review also ...

"Did you hear that!?! 3/10s of a second slower on the quarter mile! The Evo X is a POS and a fat pig! Can't even call it an Evo anymore!"

guys about the weight. if you worry about that then strip it. And there is a good news!
The X RS is LIGHTER then a IX RS. SO there is you possibilities to being light for sure.
if i'm right the X rs is 3130 lbs.

JDM weights:

http://www.mitsubishi-motors.co.jp/evo/spec/spe_02.html

1420Kg = 3130lbs

But the Japanese I believe have a different system for arriving at a curb weight, so their weights are low. I'm not sure by how much.
