i dont know if anyone said anything about this but according to many japanese tuners the evo x has more potential than the gtr

 

Just for you dude i make myself clear. Everybody /most people anyway/ reffering the USDM EVOLUTION RS weight. Since is this site mostly used in the US.

Now The Evolution X is the first EVo in the US comes 99% as every where else in the world. And doesn't come in the first time the RS in the USA.

Also the example i made that is mean the X GSR can be lighter then the IX RS without problem . Getting it?

SO about your link:

THE JDM RS X is 1420kg = 3136 lbs
The USDM IX RS is 1460kg = 3219 lbs

how this is add up for you? THe JDM Evo X RS /as i stated/ is 83 lbs i repeat 83 llbs lighter then the USDM Evo IX RS.

And that was the point i made. thanks.

 

The X has much nicer styling than the previous models. An aluminum block can handle plenty of stress. The X is all around a better car.

 

I wouldn't say a lot, but I think Jun commented on how they are pretty confident that they can tune the Evo X to be faster than GT-R.

 

Dont get me wrong guys, we are all family here......X has alot of capabilities, I just commented to mess with a buddy of mine that just got a 10 and is now hitting on us older EVO guys ! lol but my friends back home from Carrito.net just dialed in at 10.99 in their X !!! Thats awesome !!!!

 

i dont have an evo and i never had one, but i drove a 2003 evo 8 that had about 400 wheel horse power, and that was an amazing ride, i then drove a evo x, wow, now its now lie that the modified evo 8 was faster but as far as handling, comfort, features, the evo x is the best, i was coming off the highway ramp doing 100 mph and it was scary, the car felt like it could take the ramp doing 200 if it could but i was scared to push farther, the x has AMAZING handling, now niether of them were my car but if i was gonna dump 30 grand into either one, the X is the one that's got my money, it actually drives, feels, looks, and has features that a 30 thousand dollar car should have. i only wrote this because i see threads that say how people would never trade their evo 8 or evo 9 for the evo x. there is absolutly no downside to the x from my point of view, im sure in the near future there will be mods to make a the evo x amazingly fast. thats my point of view, just thought i should put it on here since i was allowed by VEry nice people to drive these 2 amazing cars and do what i wish with them.

 

Well done man ! Good luck on your quest ! Hope you become an EVO owner soon !

 

I didnt like too much a about the older Evos. I bought an STI instead. When the X came out, I drove right down and traded the STI in. Very impressive car for sure.

 

i am saving up to buy an x, actually at this point i would give up my lancer for any evo 8,9,x or 1 lol

 

Havent been in X (would like to) seems like a sick car, but i love my 9

 

I completely disagree. The X is the first EVO I ever considered buying. I traded a WRX and, though it will not be popular, both the IX and the 06-07 WRXs were trapped in a design that went out years ago. The original EVOs (and WRXs for that matter) were cool in a way as they were so new at the time. Now they look dated and like riced versions of the base models. They are awesome cars, so don't get me wrong but for me, the X is the first one that fits me. The new EVO is a car I feel I can drive as a 30 yr old to the Hospital where I work without feeling like I stole a teenagers car.

Should they have made them lighter? not sure they could with the new safety standards....look around, all cars have gotten heavier and slightly larger due to this. The car is not as raw but who really wants to drive a race car to work all the time? If you want to make it a track car, you will change everything you are complaining about anyway.

The current car is an upgrade for looks and more versitile in what it can do for the owners....besides, it could be much much worse....have you seen the new Subarus??? They could have canceled the line altogether ala the Supra.

 

i can see why people love the evo 9 and evo 8, they are amazing cars, but im sure if they drive a evo x and i mean REALLY DRIVE IT you will love the evo x too.

 

The X is an insane car no matter how you look at it, I'm a huge fan of the X, the new Ralliart looks to be promising too.

 

I simply love it.

 

Many of us IX owners do love the X. I like it alot. It isnt worth trading in my car for one though. The dealer may give me 24K for my low mileage, flawless condition IX and then I would have to take that $10K hit. The X is not a $10K upgrade over a IX. I'll keep my IX until the wheels fall off before I trade it foolishly. Now if you don't even own an Evo and you will be mostly concerned with "REAL" track performance and not so much drag-racing, then I can't see how one would choose the IX over a X. I think there are quite a few folks out there like me that refuse to trade because the CT9A chassis is still an awesome vehicle.

Oh yeah, my transmission doesn't give me problems either.
