"Hunt for Hunt For The EVO X - Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI And IX"
Nice piece on the Evo history from sportcompactcarweb.com.

"But ultimately, the Evo VI isn't as fast as the IX in terms of outright speed. The Evo IX makes more power, has more rubber and features a stiffer chassis. But the VI does surpass the final 4G63-equipped Evo in terms of rawness. Its limits are just slightly lower. With the capability of the AYC system, you'll find yourself understeering less and hanging on for dear life more. The Evo IX is calm and quiet at speed, and has the ability to make anyone a WRC superstar without even trying. But because the Evo VI gives more feedback and is so much more mechanical, it turns out to be that much more fun to drive."
"The Evo X we spy running around Willow Springs shows large amounts of suspension travel and significant body roll, like most all Lancer Evolutions, but also incredible speed. We clock the Evo X test mule at roughly two seconds per lap faster than the Evo IX MR on track at the same time (average times for fast street cars at Streets ring in around the 1:30s), and the car isn't even being pushed to its fullest."

the CT9A was also homologated for WRC use. In fact TM drove the last CT9A before he retired from mitsubishi.
