Default EVO X or IX which faster? may suprise

Which is faster? I wasn't suprised. This puts me in a pickle. The X will be out and reviews will have been made by the time i'm ready to get a new car like i was talking about.... X or IX? hmmm

.99g's on the 200 ft skid platform, up from .93g's on the evo IX. not bad for a 3500 lb car imo

I personally think that the IX looks better, that is what I want to get.

oh don't get me wrong, i definatly think the IX is the sexiest evo so far but the X is growing on me... especially when i saw it on the skid bad... that thing looked siq!!!

but for me, the decision will come down to 2 things. 1 money, how much will both be by... oh lets say november, december time. 2. how the X takes mods. If it takes them as well or better than the IX than i'd definatly be leaning towards the X. I've never seen a vehicle that takes one simple mod, ex. TBE and makes that much power... crazyness.

Ok, where is our Evo expert Emonz on this one? A buddy of mine that I work with has an IX MR as his toy and it's sweet as hell. He did some **** and took it over to Buschur in Ohio to have it tuned. It's straight ill man.

GET THE IX!!!!!!!!!!!! The 4B11 im sure will be great however the car is more of a pig. wieght and straights are slower. the 4g63 is what and Evo really is not a 4b11, so the IX is imo and many other known as 'the last REAL Evo'. how cares that much about SYAW? the IX and VIII will still out handle almost anything on the track if you can drive it so whats teh point to want the X just for that?


Plus for the price the IX will be WAY more suitable.since they are already falling in prices fast now. I mean you hardly ever find a stock turbo VIII for more than $21k unless the miles are really low
