Mitsubishi EVO X vs. IX

Seems like a disappointment, although the reason for posting this is because they tested them at RFR. Seems like an odd track for having a road test.

What do you guys think?

Why is that? It's a race track, and one that can have varying characteristics based on configuration chosen.

With four miles of road course composed of 30 turns, 15 configurations, and enough elevation change to empty more stomachs than a Six Flags roller coaster, RFR is an ideal playground for assessing a rally-inspired street car.
Makes SNES to me.

Well, most of the time they use more well known tracks, such as willow springs, laguna seca, etc. It is cool to have a local track featured, though.

Very Cool to see them at Reno Fernley.

Yeah, that is pretty sweet. That would have been cool to go out there, but I doubt they'd just let anyone come in and check out the test.

Yeah but we are not just anyone, Hell I have a friend with an AWD racecar that does his test lapping there!

Who's that? That one guy with the $80k WRX?

As far as the article goes looks like the EVO and STI both got slower. FTL. At least I got a good one. On the plus side I hear you can fit 22s on the X.
