This post is a crock of ****

Please omit this from you memory bank OP.

Clearly you aren't familiar with 4RETECH's Evo.

The way that I look at it is a bit different from the above. This site has sub-forums for the different generations and, for example, the Evo X sub-forum is rather "biased" towards ...wait for it ... Evo Xs. And in stark contrast to the other well-known site, we try to keep the amount of misinformation about Evo Xs to an absolute minimum, rather than allow said misinformation to become common "knowledge."

Hearing about someone that actually benefited from having the car been under warranty is a lot more rare than hearing about someone complaining about Evo reliability IMHO.

Drive them both and see what you like better. The VIII/IX's I've driven have been the most fun cars I've ever driven. X was fine, but wasn't the same feel. I'd go for VIII/IX all day long. Probably IX.

I'm not sure what mis information you are referring to - but I'd be interested in seeing what it is you think is being spread around...

what i have is much older, its an Evo 4 but the last time i sprint in a quater mile drag i still beat some latest evo, no offense guys.
from what i think it doesnt matter how old your evo is, its how you know how to take care of them and how to give them mods and enhancement for additional power.

Damn, I love the nine. Idk about the body structure of the ten. The concept is too big of a change that it just doesn't seem like it could fit in an evolutions category.

You realize that it is THE Evolution category right? It's been out since 2008 and has proven the platform on a number of different stages.

Ugh - 3rd post and already spouting nonsense.

Evo X vs evo 9

What so much better about the x? aside from the obvious changes is it better to get an x or ix? personally i like how the ix looks better but the x is pretty mean looking too

Well, what are your plans for the car? If just a DD and a fun street car, then the X is a better choice since it has a few more creature comforts than the IX. But if you're going for a high HP build then the IX is a good choice.
