    yeah, no doubt evo IX being the faster of the 3 american Evo's. then comes Evo VIII, to me the Evo X is pure trash. I wouldn't have it, the design is ugly and this is america, who the hell has access to a time attack track in the U.S.??

    Evo's are awesome cars, but the X's are fat heavy pigs compared to the old IX's and VIII's.

    If a car can get from a to b in less time its faster.

    So my statement of the X posting faster lap times is true if the race is a test of more than just your shift points and car setup.

    Drag races are fun for proving raw power, but getting that power somewhere... thats a whole different type of fun.

    Nah, i'm not sure a dealership would let me take out a $47 000 car (canadian price is higher for some stupid reason, possibly bceause this is the first time the evo has been availible in Canada) if i rolled up in a $2-5K grand prix...

    I don't see what is so hard to believe about this story, guys. If that EVO was stock it's slow as balls. They only trap 100-101 mph. There are GTP's with the OP's mods that trap as high as 105-106 mph. Depending on how dialed in the tune is.

    Nice kill 2000GTP.
