"We may not have known anything about the car, but we do know The Man. For some time now Ryan Gates has been crushing the US time attack scene. He looms larger than life within the Mitsubishi community because of his accomplishments behind the wheel of his iconic blue Evo X. Here are just a few of his notable exploits. In 2009 Ryan took home eight track records and won both the Super Lap Battle and the Redline Time Attack Modified Class Season Championship with an unprecedented 100 percent win rate. While 2010 was a rough year for Ryan, plagued with mechanical difficulties, he pushed on with the development of his AMS Performance 900X engine package. Last year saw more success with an extremely gear-limited 180.0mph pass at The Texas Mile, which was good enough to earn the title of world’s fastest Evo X. Ryan also showed up to our Global Time Attack at the Autobahn Country Club taking both the Limited AWD win and the class record with his 1:30.692 lap."

Once you put in the rear diff for the CT9A though, which is what the 929 evo did in 2010, IX vs X is fair game. I'd easily give it to any X if there were no rear diff mod for the IX.



anyway, just listing results - you do pose a good question though, which is where are the X's? In any class for that matter - including Gates

PS as a noob trying to learn about Evo's this mindless arguing about "YOURS SUCK!" "NO YOURS SUCK" Is getting quite annoying. I actually have to skim through the arguing to find any real info which sucks because half the time I don't understand **** people are talking about because there is so much crap in between.

New Evoers like myself just want to learn. COMMUNITY? Y NO STOP ARGUING?!

I fell in love with the X and IX. Both are AMAZING machines, best of the best, and both excel in different areas. Like few other's, who actually think, have said before it's about the preference of the driver.

Honestly I don't see my self owning a X with out at some point buying a IX and vice versa. IMHO I want a X as WW and IX for AutoX.

Just my .02

That's great and all, but those are not actual facts. He provided an actual fact that was included an informative video. You were essentially just bashing the X.

I don't want to balance the scales here, but someone's post was a little more beneficial than the other.

I'd have to agree with Maz, maybe take those kinds of comments elsewhere.

I've used this topic a number of times to compare cars, talking about feeling bad for another Mitsu owner and not wanting to blow their doors off doesn't really anyone.

(On topic, I'll be moving into a 2010 X GSR in the new few weeks, gave up on finding a non bagged/light modded/low mile 8/9 a long time ago)

Kill the hate
