http://www.xtreme-uk.net/EvoIXOverview.asp look at this. Evo MR and RS are still faster.

 

That's old news.......plus the 0-60 time is an estimate i.e. we haven't got an effin clue but we'll take an educated guess.

 

That website has almost all of the Evo 8's at the same exact speed.

 

Almost every Evo except for I-III and the Evo 260 runs under 5 seconds. 4.6s was the "official" number for the 8, so there is no change. I bet that was a guess.

 

Wait, the Evo IX will have 300hp stock

 

You didn't know that Will???

 

No. This is great news to me . Might even break 12's stock

 

It will be "289" hp, according to SCC.

 

Defanantly not woth trading in an Evo 8 expecially if you own an 05 model.

 

The UK and Jap versions are probably kicking out a little over 300 HP due to the grade of Premium fuels in each country.
UK = 98 Octane probably right at 300 HP
JAP= 100 Octane a little bit over 300 HP

 

agreed

 

That will be the US spec. The link in the first post is from a UK site.

Actually it's 286 for Horsepower; the 289 refers to the lb-ft of Torque.

 

For 05 evo mr owners, its probably not worth it unless you really want the new look and mivek. But for an 03 owner like myself, it is a pretty huge step going from 271hp to 286, ACD, bilsteins, aluminum roof, and the new turbo, plus I love the new styling. I will give my 03 to my wife (she wants it bad) and buy the IX for myself!

 

Imma keep my 03 EVO since i dont have much money I think I will stick to my plan (450+AWHP) Then problem just by the front bumper. SirAragorn Your wife is gonna be siced!
