And why is the 6 better than let say an EVO 3 RS?
Click to expand...

-Improved low speed torque from 3000RPM (Like 272lbs/ft vs 227lbs/ft)
-40% better structural rigidity due in part 200 Extra welds
-Less understeer due to a rear active differential (AYC vs mechanical LSD)
-Twin Scroll TD05 HRA 16G Turbo
-A bad ass Double rear wing

And that's just off the top of my head.
 
Here you go guys. Evolutionm.net tested the VI (TM edition), the IX and X.
http://features.evolutionm.net/article.php?id=115

CP9A Evolution VI GSR Tommi Makinen Edition
Curb weight. Front, rear distribution: 3041 pounds. 60% front, 40% rear
Corner weights: FL-895 FR-944 RL-614 RR-588
HP: 276@6500rpm (Stock rating, actual power is likely closer to 300 HP.)
TQ: 275@4650rpm (No dyno data for this vehicle)
Upgrades: Stock

Test notes: ¼ tank of fuel. Unable to dyno due to location, but I think this car makes even more than 300. If I had to gamble, I'd put it around 240 on the Dyno Dynamics we often use.

Positives- Early version of AYC helps combat understeer. Featherweight for a turbo AWD car in this day and age.
Negatives- No radio, no comfort, no sissy stuff. This car will be too hardcore for 99% of the population and probably even some Evo enthusiasts.
Overall- The epitome of stock Evo racecar.


CT9A Evolution IX SSL
Curb weight. Front, rear weight distribution: 3352 pounds, 60% front, 40% rear
Corner weights: FL-1026 FR-981 RL-649 RR-696
HP: approx 340@6000rpm (267whp Dyno Dynamics)
TQ: approx 340@4200rpm (266tq Dyno Dynamics)
Upgrades: Dyno4mance tuned Ecuflash.

Test notes: Full tank of fuel less two gallons.

Positives- SSL package moves the car a bit upmarket, best version of the 4G63 inside, nicest looking of all Evos in my opinion.
Negatives- No SAYC on USA models.
Overall- The one you want as a daily driver.


CZ4A Evolution X GSR SSS
Curb weight. Front, rear weight distribution: 3510 pounds, 57% front, 43% rear
Corner weights: FL-1024 FR-989 RL-735 RR-762
HP: approx 385@6200rpm (309whp Dyno Dynamics)
TQ: approx 385@4600rpm (308tq Dyno Dynamics)
Upgrades: Ultimate racing full turbo-back exhaust, upper IC pipe, and Dyno4mance tuned Ecuflash.

Test notes: ¾ tank of fuel. Spare tire out, Recaro child seat in, weighed as driven.

Positives- SAWC safety with SAYC oversteer on demand, good stock audio, stock seats rule, exceptional factory HIDs.
Negatives- Most of the positives above contribute to the scale crushing curb weight, insanely short gearing makes for a buzzy highway commute, notchy transmission.
Overall- Has taken some time to catch on with the CT9A faithful, but absolutely an Evo at heart.

The Golf R isn't a real R

It doesn't have a vR type engine(not to mention its a 4 cyl) and it only comes in four doors. Two major things that the mk4/5 R32s had unique to them.

*no I don't mean 2 doors are unique to the r32 but rather the idea the the r32 was uniquely available only in 2 doors

The 2.0R is fantastic! Outstanding performance, reability and cheap on gas. Yes you don't have the sound and the VR ...
