The new motor may have something to do with it. Motor trend said it would not breathe well from 7000 up. It seems for those who like to drag race their cars that the X may be a step or two behind the previous model.

Evo X "GSR" vs Evo IX "GSR," both 5-speed manuals, both stock, same track, same day, same driver:
0-60 MPH = 5.4 vs 4.7
1/4 mile = 14.0 at 96.9 vs 13.4 at 102.2
2.78 mile road course = 2:36.046 sec vs 2:34.558 sec
Curb weight = 3585 vs 3254
Weight distribution = 56/44 vs 60/40
Price as tested = $35,500 (est) vs $32,400

Why are some people worried about the stock performance of the Evo X? Just wait until the aftermarket manufacturers make some speed parts for that car. No one ever has to settle for the stock performance of any vehicle. You can always change it.

Jealousy is a wrong word for this situation, disapointment would be more appropriate to describe the downgrade in performance of the X over the previous model or models to be more accurate.
You would understand were we are coming from if you had an evo and got used to a certain level of performance and then got faced with the X lower performance standards. The X was suppose to raise the bar and failed to carry the basic philosophy behind Mitsubishi's most iconic model an "EVOLUTION" in performance
