can you link me to a stock EVO IX dyno doing 270-280whp as you have claimed please evilbada1? btw im from md too, are you in the DC evo club?

If you like performance cars there's no reason to dislike either the RX-8 or the Evo.

It hasn't been long since I bought the evo, so I need alot of catching up to do.
I will have join the regional evo forum later.
Let me try and find that dyno for you.
I live in Ellicotty City (baltimore) by the way. Not too far from DC.

you should join asap, the website is www.dcevoclub.com, theres a lot of great guys that meets for happy hour every week and help each other with installations and other issues
*btw what part of md are you from? im from college park, student at umcp.

Playdoh...I looked on EvoM for a while last night but using the word "dyno" in a search yields so many off the wall results it's pointless. I could post some dyno charts from my local tuner, Gruppe-S, but they use one of the most ridiculously conservative dynos in the country. It's a Mustang dyno. My '05 Evo VIII put down 227whp when it was stock. An '05 STi does about the same. They had a 350Z track model they felt was a strong car that put down 212whp stock. On a Dynajet (sp?) a stock '05 Evo VIII will put down about 250whp. The same dyno will usually show an Evo IX at 260-265whp. If I come across something...and this thread hasn't been locked yet...I'll post it. The new Evo IX is definately an underrated car though.

yeah... dyno numbers are so eratic, i guess i wouldnt be too suprised if it dynos 270+whp stock.

Closed to prevent further arguing.
