Having driven an Evo X pretty hard (while having owned two Evo IXs), I'd say it's a believable claim. Also, based on manufacturer claims, the IX supposedly already had 85% of its peak torque (which calculates to around 245 lb-ft) by 2500 rpm, so if the X is at least at that point (though it's probably beyond it), then I don't see the FR-S having "more useable power," unless you're trying to say that the X has too much power to use on a regular basis in a somewhat legal manner (which is what srt4evah was getting at toward the end of his post).

Nope, I'm saying at 5k rpm a stock X will drop 5-10 psi boost depending on the gear.
I guess you forgot where I said I owned one for almost 3 years.
