the ix pulled the same g's.So you must have missed the article from last month in one of the car rags where the ix completely handed the x it's ass on a platter around a race track, same with the video on you tube at tskuba. The ix weighs alot less, its a better handling car. The highest g's I have seen on the x is .97, not .99, but that really isn't the be all end all when it comes to handling. The x is not anywhere near "better handling by alot" I don't even know what would give you that impression.
The 2007 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR: Mr. Momentum
from the article.
The Evo is entirely capable of instigating a frenzy of forward acceleration that could last for hours, but that would mean forgoing half the fun. Sprinting at a quick clip through the curves and lopping those apexes right off the sweepers–generating lateral g-forces is just as galvanizing.
Capable of pulling 0.98 g’s on the skidpad, the Evo is easily as proficient–and passionate–tearing through the twisties as it is overtaking on the freeway.
