My IX is still too new to get rid of it, only 3k miles so far. I have too much invested into 4g63 knowledge and tools to switch at this point. When the XI is about to come out then I'll probably be ready to buy the fully sorted/improved X in its last model year.

personally i like the X i would get one as a dd. But just a half year ago i got a brand new Raider would be a stupid idea to trade it in.
Now my RS is a away better car for what i need, then the X. Why?
Proven, aftermarket parts, years of experience with the engine and chassie , suspension , years experience with tuning, cheaper etc.
Now if you are racing those things are very important.
So when the X will be a a better choice for track ,then i will get one. But that will be at least 2 years from now. Until i will rock my 06 evo IX RS.

This is makes me a bad mouth guy with no interest or honest?

Other similar thread merged into this one. If we are going to beat the topic to death, at least we can do it in one place.

I've been pretty quiet lately on these forums. Letting all the comments go uncontested..

But this one is funny!

You know... i just read the last two pages of the forum and i came upon something quite interesting.. There were these people using research about Lancer evolution sales all over the world.. even budgeting and economic regulars. and infation even made it to this thread. to me thats just going overboard.

okey i like both the X and the IX but then theres people whining about how the evo 10 is slower on the quarter mile.. look if your going to drag a rally car.... dont complain if it sacrifices overall speed for handling. Also, i came upon this video the other day from youtube.. it was of TopGear and they were testing the evo 6 against the evo 9 (i wonder why they chose 6&9 >_>) , and the evo 6 was faster around a circuit, however the evo 9 is faster on a quartermile. its all about your basic needs as an enthusiast. if youve ever had a chance to watch a video of an interview with the mitsubishi spokesman, he said "we dont want just speed anymore, anyone can do that, so we just put a shell of safety around that speed and thats the evo 10". instead of fighting about it we should all just rejoice, now we have an evo fit for the daily drivers and another evo for racing. to me im just ecstatic about what the evo XI is going to be like whenever that is..

my only complaint... they should make a manual shift evo 10 MR in addition to the sportronic one.

dude that test was over discussed 100000 times.. that was a hooked up VI, just make sure you know. They chose the 6 vs 9 because both was the last edition from they platform.

Kristofer

I hear so much about the X I'm just gonna break down and go test drive one this weekend coming up and post up my opinion on it then. You can't judge a car until you have driven it. Numbers, specs, etc. don't really tell you how the car drives and if you will like it or not.

Indeed my friend, it has been awhile! I think I'm outta jail..

Yea, nice freakin launch by the X! Camaro was no sloutch either though.. Gotta give props to both rides!

Yeah, I agree. I was pretty surprised by the X launch, though he only pulled a 1.8 60ft. Of course, I say only like everyone can do it when the reality is most people cant even get 1.8 in the VIII/IX.

True true!! It's pretty tricky even with a 2-step launch control..
