The gear ratios: EVO8 (5th) - 0.72 EVO9/X(5th) - 0.76 The 9s/Xs are closer to the 1:1 ratio. Having these low gear ratios don't mean it doesn't have top end power. Not trying to defend the car but I am emphasizing that you can't judge the car's top end performance based on it's "long" 5th...

The 5th gear on the EVO 8s is garbage and you lose a significant amount of rpm going from 4th to 5th gear. So what you say is true for the 8s. 9s-10s should be much closer to the ideal 1:1 ratio.

I'm getting my tranny redone so that 5th gear is the EVO 9s 5th gear (much closer ratio to EVO8s 4th gear). If you are going for top speed, sure, your car will have the mph. But races are about acceleration. If I get to 140mph before you do, then my car literally accelerates faster than...

An EVO is not usually done by 130mph especially if it has a big turbo in it. It all depends on how much power he's putting to the wheels. I have a big turbo EVO that puts 600whp/550wtq to the wheels on E85. OP would not have been able to catch me up top. Just saying..
