It would probably be easier to ask those who have a moded evo with 400hp if it feels aggressive.. im sure the answer will be yes.

I have an evo with 300 to the wheels which is almost 400 at the crank.The FQ comes with different suspension too (i think). I mean it has to.... 300hp on stock suspension feels like windsurfing on tight sections of the track. Too much dip and dive. If i could, i'd buy an FQ. Sweet body kit and super rare. Good luck finding one.

My first Evo X did 402 wheel Hp... a hell of a difference. After the tune, you could really feel the pressure on the front of your body when you go full throttle - and the sound was sick.

I actually just bought the fq400 kit (the legit one, hahah) and I am mad excited about it. Still have to get it painted etc, but they said it definetly feels more aerodynamic and controlled with the aero package. The fq400 has bigger brakes, wider tires, lower suspension, bigger turbo, and aero package. But honestly its nothing much than a gsr with bolt ons and a tune I would say in the end...

The Evo 9 and X are completely different motors.

No, it feels like a giant boat.

Like ChUt26 said - they are different. Big difference in feel between the 9 and 10 - if you enjoy the 9 then stick with the 9. I wouldn't mind getting the 9 but I don't like buying used - otherwise it would be the last Gen.
