The Evo X's are actually slower than the 9's. They are heavier cars all together.

Car and Driver did a road course and Drag comparo and the 9 beat the X in every race. In the drag race it was slower by .3 secs

So it does the 1/4 in 13.6 @ 100.9 , buuuut it goes 0-100 in 12.5

Thats a long .9 mph 1.1 seconds

I'm curious to see one. I finally saw the new STi in person the other day, black one next to me in traffic. Not feeling the hatch look.

Almost... the 0-100 in 12.5 was with the 13.4 1/4 (which was at 103).

Don't get too cocky. I've ran into one local one that would have you suckin on his. Very respectable cars when modded. Pretty easy win in stock trim though

the new EVO sucks if you ask me, I used to like the evo for what it is, a light curve hugging 4 pot, they had to ruin it.

and yeah, when moded they are a defrent animal, some of the local boys here are doing some nice stuff with them lil buggers.
