Have there been any official times for the Evo X around the ring? I've been searching but can't find any. Was talking to a friend and he asked me but I didn't recall anything

The problem with the ring times is most of the ones you find will be stock EVOs. Stock Sucks.

yesterday i drove evo X, i was really happy about it,but when i compare my IX and X i can say i feel faster in my car,its much stiffer and its more like a rally car.this evo X is more like a car for daily normal drivers.i like how its looks like and inside its more modern,and i like the board computer.and the xenons.but i think still think the evo looks like and lexus 220 with a wing on.
but i can say the car has his goods,so i really like to drive it but i will and i would stay with the IX its more aggressive,and more driving feeling has theIX

I think the Evo X looks like an Audi from the front and a Lexus IS from the back. I think it's a really good looking car in a aggressive way.

Look at their 0-60 and quarter mile times for the X. That just says it all. They even stated that their X was having the high rpm hesitation.
