EVO X vs STI - Tsukuba Lap Times
I just found this on Autoblog, thought some people may be interested...
http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/05/e...uba-lap-times/ Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X : 1:06:46 Subaru Impreza WRX STI : 1:05:95 So there you have it. The new engine placed further forward in the engine bay of the EVO X than in the EVO IX has indeed proven to be a handicap, while the STI's "wheel at each corner" longer wheelbase plus new double wishbone rear suspension has proved its worth. -Ryan |

I was actually expecting a bigger gap between the two cars considering the weight difference. IMO, not as bad as anticipated.

The article said both wasn't as fast as earlier model but they forgot to mention some of those fast times in the low 5s and 4s are the special light weight model like the Spec C RA-R and RS.

Well, we all kind of expected that STI will be faster than the Evo X after watching BM....
But like someone mentioned above, I am surprised that the time gap between STI and Evo X wasn't bigger. |
WOW, even more evidence that all that posturing Mitsu has been doing is all bullcrap and they have been lying us.

Well according to the article the Evo was almost always slower then the STI since inseption. If you want to base your purchase on bench numbers alone then why did you buy a IX over an STI?
