Mistubishi EVO vs 370Z

EvilEvo · 06-29-2009, 10:14 AM

I own a pretty much stock Evo IX MR, and by that i mean it's only got a catback exhaust and an intake which is relatively tame in the Evo Community and I'm a rare bread since a lot of Evo's are way more modded. I'd say a 370 and a Evo IX are pretty damn close, Evo X you'd leave it. Good Luck with "Killin Evo's" you'll need it.

Huh? Since when are the IXs faster than the Xs?

The IX has always been faster because the X is heavier.

They kinda even out, the ix is lighter but the x is much more mod friendly.
The X is almost hitting 300 awhp with just a drop in filter and a tune.

Not to mention the chassis on the X is way stiffer. These cars are heavier but extremely nimble on the track. Although heavier...the Evo X was a huge improvement over the IX performance wise. As mod friendly the 4G63 is...the 4B11 has proven to be even more responsive to modifications...its just plain wrong how fast you can make that car!!!! btw...i race a Subaru, so I had to swallow my pride to make that statement

Yeah my buddy's x gain an extra 60awhp from a stock tune bumping him up to a nice 280awhp with just a tune.

X's Horsepower numbers doesn't always prove that it's better or faster then the Evo 8 or 9's. Yes the evo X makes nice numbers on the dyno but, it's nowhere as raw in performance as the 8 or 9's. A X and 9 with a fp red turbo the 9 ran somewhere in the 9's while the X ran high 10's both with similar mods and race gas. Ask any Evo owners which one is the raw performer they will tell you the same. I know because I used to own one with 400awhp.

sorry...i have to disagree with you. For the last 2 years, I've been the sales/marketing director for Robispec...we specialized in Evo's. We've built these cars from ground up...I'm speaking from a track perspective where everything as a whole is measured...power and handling. I've seen it first hand, and driven them both on the track. Hands down...Mitsubishi hit the nail on the head with the X. Don't get me wrong...it took me a while to warm up to the X because I liked the 8 and 9's more...but once I drove them on track and saw the lap times these things can do, I was convinced.
