agree..
new Evo X is slower in str8 line than the older evo's but supposibly they handle better.
Im sure something was wrong with him or w/e to be able 2 pull LIKE that but im not suprised at all that you won. just a little much with the whole reeling him in like a slow car lol.
Only reason they run 13's is the AWD redline and dump it ability lol.

The only reason they hide the weight as well as they do is because Mitsu did everything possible to make it perform comparably in a straight line (Final drive, gearing, more power) Also it has sticker/wider wheels/tires which is a good portion of why it's a superior cornering machine besides the better chassis.

And I still believe IX's are faster stock, they trap a few MPH higher which is a considerable difference in speed from a roll. Drive both and you'll immediately notice the difference and it's not the X's more linear power delivery deceiving you, it's plain slower.

yep a drive in a IX makes the X feel like it doesn't even have a turbocharger in the engine bay...the IX's boost hits very hard compared to the X's very (a bit too) linear power delivery
