I could care less about surprising the old man and his GF at the light driving a C6 vette. I don't drag race my car from a standing start ... ever. Although I laugh my a$$ off everytime I have someone trailing me going into a turn, only to find them 5+ car lengths behind me coming out. And really, if you (and others) are so concerned with showing up the nice cars, then why not sell the Evo and go with a 1G? All the old man will see is a 15+ year old $hitbox right before he gets pwned. As I said, ppl like you amuse me. Using an Evo for purely drag racing is like using a shotgun to hunt mice.

Well...it's official in my mind. Shiv from Vishnu said this car with a stock turbo, bolt-on for bolt-on, responds better to mods than the IX. I've had my VIII since Jan '04 and all I've done to it was a turbo-back, boost controller, & reflash, all good for bumping it from ~220 to ~270. The damn X makes more than that just removing the air filter from what it seems lol. For me it looks like the 4b11 will suit my needs for power, and the rest of the X speaks for itself. Evo X FTW for anything but 1/4 mile...and even probably only once you start going beyond average bolt-on level. And for a street-driven car, IMHO it's completely unnecessary and just leads to having a laggy around-towner. I mean, for god's sake, sometimes I'll be in 5th gear in traffic on the freeway and find myself at 45 mph. Just for fun I floor it sometimes and laugh at how it feels like a non-turbo piece of crap at such low RPM. The X has power RIGHT NOW and appears to keep it in the high revs with minimal mods. This thread is a dinosaur lol Boostez FTL...

Can't we just agree on the fact that both of them are great cars? For God's sake this rivalry is getting annoying!

Quick answer as this has been discussed at length and generally by people that do not know. In a drag race, the IX will general win by a little. Around a track, the X will generally win, but depends on th track. This only counts for stock cars. This is the answer...no need to dive into this too much more

If my car made those low whp numbers, I'd trade it in too!!
The X still has yet to beat my OWN personal increase in whp for MY VIII and it will take a tune and/or race gas to do it. By then, it'll have more mods on the car than my OWN car.
Average stock dynojet numbers on an 03-04 VIII (~220-230whp).
My mods:
Megan headers
TBE
10.5 hotside
AMS LICP
Boost controller
350whp (100%Meth @ 25 psi peak) - 225whp (average) = 125(+/-)whp increase.
I still have yet to put: FMIC, intake, upper I/CP, Cams, and 02 housing on my car...
I'm sure there are others out there that have similar whp increases with few mods..

What on earth are you talking about??? You're comparing apples to ... fertilizer. Your numbers are with meth injection, not pump gas. They can't be compared to Machron's numbers, and they sure as hell can't be compared to what's been done with the X so far, since I haven't seen any meth or racegas tunes at all so far.
