If you are going to argue straight line performance you mind as well stop there...any older mustang or camaro will go faster in a straight line for cheaper than any import.
I am not trying to start shit but nobody buys an evo because it can only go fast straight...it can also turn very well. And if anything, the DSM's might of just had a crappier tune from the factory, there are tons of factors.
Also, the X's are more like 210, 215 tops and with the mods can break 300whp. However, as you stated, the are good and beefy
