YES! A full second faster than the STi! That's obviously because of the fact that it's a short, curvy track. A longer, straighter track would make the STi shine.

However, it's easier to add a little bit of straight line acceleration with aftermarket parts than it is to add corner carving abilities.

Viva la X!

I like it. Really looking forward to when everyone starts their mods to up the performance of the X.. I think it will be unbeatable performance for $ value!

Yea, thats why i'm glad the mitsu went that route. I would have liked more stock power, but thats a small fixable sacrafice.

Good review! In comparison to best motoring the EVO X had a lot more stability.

Indeed, it at least showed some technical data!

To the OP, I think this should have been posted under Evo X News, not in Evo X General. Cause this is a review, a test with performance figures, a comparo. We are not just shooting the shiznit about which is better. Also, putting the thread in the Evo X News forum results in a home page listing. This is why I think it was double posted.

Nice find and great videos, the Evo X is holding its own!

Moved to news.

Generally if it's some kind of information or writeup from an external source, it's news.
