Absolutely, this IS the best test so far...haters will claim that the starts aligned just right....I"m gonna saythey finally got someone that knew how to launch an Evo


Now add the 85hp that AGP "discovered" and I"m set during the warranty period

I thought the Evo X was slower in the 1/4 then the STI.... Wasn't the X 13.8 in the 1/4???

I fail to believe that a car that makes the same stock whp as the IX can make the same quarter-mile times but be over 300lbs heavier.

I'll trust the actual video of the IX stomping the X on the track in Top Gear until I see some US numbers from average people.

Something is wrong, the first test the Evo X hit 100mph in 13,8seconds;Now the same Evo X hits in 12,5 seconds!
How can a heavier car with similar whp put the same performance numbers? ? ?

Doesn't the X make more power and torque than the IX but it's offset by the increased weight?

None of this matters to much just up the boost and do some tuning as soon as it is possible Ive always looked at a vehicles potential not just the baseline.

I guess I'm not impressed with the times compared to previous evo's. Am I just crazy?

What did the IX have as a stock time with car and driver?

Could it be that the motor is even more underated than the IX and Mitsu finally worked out the bugs??

Only like 5hp and 11 ft pound of torque. That is far from offset
