i smell a fanboi. just give it up already. the EVO X is slow. yes it can be modded into a beast for not much $$$$. but you shouldn't have to spend 30-40k on a car, then have to mod it just to make it the car it should have been from the factory.

 

No S-AWC on the RS. No S-AYC on the RS either:

 

Yea I really didn't care for his writing. I mean come on he didn't even put it in Super Sport. Afraid the clutch might burn up. What a tool. Anyways... Lets hear for AMS.

 

IX owners are like bitter about how well the X responds to mods. Int he end the IX is fast stock we know this. Its an amazing car. But the interior looks like a 96 Civic EX and isnt the most comfortable car. The X sacraficed weight and power advatanges to become a better all around car to a new audience. Ask a girl which car she thinks i sexier and ull see why we spent more.

 

I smell the fanboi. Geeze. If you're going to keep attacking the X, at least make sense. Nobody buys an evo to leave it stock! Who cares about it stock?

 

I disagree, there are lots of people who don't mod the Evo. They are usually not on this forum.

I am not sure how to take this article. I think this guy wants a straight up rally car rather then a street car which means it does not apply to 99.8% of daily drivers.

 

I personally am waiting for a X or XI RS to come. I want the new chassis, and 4b11, but don't like electronic diffs. Mechanical diffs are more predictable, and with a good driver, can be faster.

 

not to mention in England where is the FQ is coming the X is faster from factory then a IX.
The EU spec X runs 5.4 sec 0-60, the Eu spec IX runs 5.7 sec 0-60
So who really cares????
Only in the US the Evos running under 5.4 sec 0-60 under... And there is a big marketing behind that ....
What is the idea behind it? Simple.
In the US more people go by 1/4 mile then handling, period. That is why was really not important to leave the S-AYC in the US Spec VIII or IX, and just simply replace it with the required evaporization system. They could have place it some where else to but like this was cheaper.
And really who cares? Not an average US person. Look what most of them fights for.. 0.4 sec to 1/4 mile... Pathetic. They have really no idea why and for what, the evo is really made for. Good for 1/4 ? Great, it is just a bonus

All around the world people buying evos for the possibilities and not for factory numbers.
With that idea /OEM performance/ the Evo RS models would be never sold in any country...

And i start getting a feeling most of the haters dont like how the X is going forward... Like couple track record/ where is many previus model runned and never broke/

So anyway. botton line is, Buy evo if you are a racer or the tuner guy. Otherwise you made a wrong decision, period. And this is true all the Evo's.

 

can you show the link?

I think that you calling anyone a fanboy is laughable at best. You're the biggest evo 9 fanboy on this forum. It just pains you that the X is a better overall car than the 9 doesn't it? Your only argument everytime is the straight line speed. AN EVO IS ABOUT HANDLING, AND THE X IS THE BEST HANDLING EVO EVER MADE. Who cares if it's .2 seconds slower 0-60? The chassis is better, the suspension is better, the engine is better, the AWD system is better, the brakes are better, the build quality is better and the car is more refined. I'd say that's a worthwhile tradeoff for a couple tenths in the 1/4 mile. If you want to jerk off to your evo 9 then do it somewhere else and stop trolling the X forums.

 

this odub guy reminds me some capoeira fighter...

^lol!

 

it says, 0-100km/hr not 0-60mph.

 

yes truly the 100 km/h is 62 mph
But all the test going by number 60... figure that one out.

so 0-60 mph = 0-100 kmh
but now from this year the EU requires to do a 0-62mph numbers. Just to be perfectly fair...
