For all 4B11 & SST haters this video is for u to watch. We need the EVO be back not as a suv!

[@luka_abh]

Evo 9 is still faster on the track than Evo X. Plus it's smaller and lighter

[@rongchangwang1559]

@@luka_abh totally different machines for different competitions landscape, haven been a X owner and driven IX few times. You could tell X is much more refined but properly fast car. IX does have more rough edges but more focused. It is sad that Mitsubishi canceled the super AYC on the VIII and IX here in USA. So the X out handles IX on tight mountain road for sure. Overall, I think the X GSR with lighter car weight(1520 kg) and 5 speed manual is the car to get here in USA- and I got one myself. BTW the JDM light weight RS version of the X is exactly same weight as the IX MR. And to complete in this group of refine German hot-hatch twins and STI the X is the better place to be and deliver almost same performance (stock form) than the IX. So I would call it the winner in this test.

[@luka_abh]

@@rongchangwang1559 well yeah, RS versions are always 100kg lighter than normal version because they're bare bones, so an RS EVO IX would be still 100kg lighter than equivalent RS EVO X. On Tsukuba EVO IX is always 0.5-1 sec faster than EVO X, which is kind of a disappointment, since it always used to be that the newer EVO's were alwas faster than predecessor, and that's not the case with the X. Even though EVO X has an all aluminum engine, it's weight distribution isn't really improved. And EVO X's always lose in races to GRB STI's by a large margin too. Not saying it's a bad car, all EVO's are awesome, it's just that X wasn't that much of an improvement over the IX

[@alstound]

SST will still shift quicker than manual, and the X’s AWD system is a lot more sophisticated, so those will more than make up for the extra weight.

[@luka_abh]

@@alstound well, judging by races, they don't. On Tsukuba EVO IX is always faster than EVO X, and what's interesting that 5MT Evo X's are faster than SST versions

[@SilverScarletSpider]

At 225hp in 2008, the 8th generation NA FD2 Honda Civic Type R just did not have the power to keep up with 2000-2016 Turbo AWD 300+ hp rivals anymore. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and Subaru Impreza WRX STi were challenging BMW M3’s not ~200hp Nissan Sentras, Toyota Corollas, and Volkswagon Gti’s. It took until 2016 for the Honda Civic Type R to rise back with the 10th generation FK8 (and to a lesser extent the 9th gen FK2). Finally, in 2016-2021 a Honda Civic Type R that can race Subaru Impreza WRX STi, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, and Toyota Supra Mk5 on the Race Track and actually win. Throttle House used the Honda Civic Type R FK8 to actually beat the Toyota Supra MK5 on their Toronto track.

[@popemobile12]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqbVaaeAqrJ4qNE The newer "Type R" isn't what it used to be. They're heavier and don't like to rev as much. On a tighter course, like say, a touge, the older NA Type R's tend to be quicker/more responsive. Yes in general the newer turbo models are faster, but that's all they got going for them. The fd2 in this video did keep up too, for having way less power, it kept up.

[@MrZyLeXx]

It doesn't work that way when wheel to wheel racing. It is always who finishes first with the most laps wins. Time Attack is boring. W2W racing is way more fun when there are many cars around you with traffic.

[@theraggededgeonboardfastes8461]

The Scirocco R is the best kept secret of gran turismo 6; its easily the most capable fwd car on the game as well as the best 2.0L turbo in the game despite being fwd bone stock. The extended foot print, track width, wheelbase and well-tailored torque delivery are what allowed it to overachieve. In the age of gdi turbo charging manufacturers can roll the dice a bit and extend the weight and dimensions of their cars ISO better handling because the torque is plentiful. The Scirocco was the first car to go down that path

Just to Confirm THE SCIROCCO R IS FWD AND NOT AWD like some people on here think. I own a FL model and I'm 💯% sure of this

[@Kismetix]

Great race with a group of great cars. I think the VW didn't have as much drivetrain power loss since it is a front wheel drive, whereas the EVO is getting more power robbed through the four wheel drive system. On a flat dry track with everyone largely on the same rubber, it appears that just having a good front wheel drive is sufficient to run a good lap vs. the torque vectored four wheel drive. In other words, not so sure that the extra weight and power loss of a high-tech four wheel drive is an advantage over a good front wheel drive system - at least in dry, flat track conditions.

[@damchanwr125r3]

The better the tire performance, the better the front-wheel drive vehicle. Four-wheel drive vehicles sacrifice straight speed due to drive loss. However, in reality, front-wheel drive vehicles lack traction, so a regulation of 300 horsepower or more will result in a large loss.
