Either way, the 2011 is much faster than the 2008 because of the much better factory tune. Good news for all the new owners

Yay! Now if I can just get the dealer to figure out why my 2011 GSR keeps throwing P0017 codes, I'll really be happy...

No way. A tuned 2008 will be faster than a base 2011.

The only draw back of the 08 evoX had is a straight line performance. But still on track was just as fast as the IX. So according to that , should be a faster car.
