Even though there wasn't a proper shoot out yet, I'm going to say i'm pretty safe to say that it'll slaughter this "pure sporty car" that is the 86. Know your limitations and boundaries. Don't turn this into Clubsi, SRT4 forums, and other nonsense.

Someone's a fanboy, and it's not me.

Uh... The EVO and the STI are both understeering, overweight pigs. Just because the X beats the STI around some track a few percentage points faster doesn't mean it's god's gift to handling or steering. You have a DCT and Yaw control sensors that help an obese car put in faster laptimes for very little effort - but its still only "marginally" better than an STI which is cheaper and more utilitarian - neither of which are even close to competing with cars that are lighter and more nimble (Miata, BRZ, etc.).

TLDR? You can add lipstick to an EVO X or an STI...
