    To be Fair... If your looking for a comfort Drive then Evo is not a car you... as its a sports car at the end

    as the Springs on the cars are a hard that will be a hard drive.. as i have been in many diffrent Evo generation models

    the best way is go for a test drive as you will feel what its like.....

    If want comfort and you must have an Evo, get the 10.

    ^ the evo X is surprisingly comfortable. However the interior (besides the recaro seats) looks like it belongs on a 20 thousand dollar car, rather then one that costs almost 40

    The new EVO Xs run too rich even on stock specs can blow the engine so, avoid taking it too lapping days..or your Lancer might be at the dealership for a while..BTW, Bar 1 + 2 shouldnt be comfortable, buy a Beemer or Merc if you want comfy..Cheers..

    It's been like this since the Evo 1 lol. Mitsubishi didn't really care either, it was a normal Lancer with a 4G63, 2 Recaro's, and a huge wing. Base models from the 4 all the way through 9 came with steelies, usually delivered to rally and circuit teams.

    Both too Rich or Lean can blow motors...Two of my good friends have the X's....ones pushing about 470 to the crank and the other has 330 with downpipe and exhaust...both went on lapping days..too much black smoke at WOT....waiting for Ultimate to crack a motor soon..

    470 at the crank or at the wheel? There's no way to get 470 whp without major upgrades to the fuel pump and injectors. When you talk about modified cars tracking and their reliability, that's a whole different story. You have to take the mods into consideration as a possible cause for the failure. Also, I don't believe for a second your friend with the 330 hp Evo has just a downpipe and exhaust. Friend of mine has an X with full turboback and tune and he's makin 344 to the wheels.

    470 was to the crank on the Lancer X..Bigger Turbo, Intercooler and piping, punched out catay(s), downpipe, cat back exhaust, walbro fuel pump,and boost controller. As for the other, 330 was to the crank, It did have which I forgot to put was intake and cooler and piping..I personally dont like dynos cause everyone is different and somewhat inaccurate.

    Based on your comment about crank horsepower alone, I'm going to end this conversation.
