keep thinking that

I bought the ultimate AS car. I wouldn't care if they called MR, BR or whatever the hell they want to call it. FUnctionality is key and the MR is extremely functional.

 

Actually that Vortex Generator is only functional if you are going over 85mph. It's mainly for looks. Like my previous post, the MR are for people who will not mod and track this car.

 

Hmmm I did not mention anything about the geeky vortex generator. I was talk about the car as a whole. everything works in concert with each other.

 

Hi guys,


As you can see in my profile,I am very new to this forum but I am a old timer for the WRX forums.

Anyway, since thursday I am the happy owner of the only EVO MR in Tucson. Well, I was going to get the regular EVO or even the RS but after test driving the MR and paying attention to detail on the equipment I quickly changed my mind and I decided to buy it.

From past experience, you should get the best in the first time, back in Sep 02 I purchased a brand spanking new Subaru Impreza WRX Sonic yellow Edition, within 14 months I already spent $12000 in all kind of ****, however I was never truly happy with the car.
Breaking my gearbox on my WRX for the second time in less than 2 month was no $uking joke, I ended paying out of my own pocket. By the way, the $12000 does not include the nearly $4500 that I spent in the last 2 months for 2 used gearbox and a ACT clutch and flywheel including labor.

Further more I still had the stock brakes, rims, tires and shocks.. need I say more?

My point is that the EVO was superior than the WRX in every way so take my tip, buy the best now, you would not regret, the expensive ends being cheap in the long term.
I made 280.3WHp @18psi and 91oct gas on a Dyno Dynamic at Dyno-Comp in Phoenix tuned by Clark(AZ scoobie) with my WRX. After all that moeny spent my car only managed to get a mediocre 13.2@104mph.

My EVO MR should run as quick or even quicker, it has better brakes, rims, tires,gearbox,suspension,seat and you name it that it has it.

If you can afford the MR just get it from the start . By the way, if you are around Tucson and want to see the EVO MR in person just drop me a e-mail at carlosgarcia4@***.net

Take care guys

 

Nice move Carlos. Welcome to inlines. May that annoying V-Twin Superhawk sounding boxster motor never plague you with problems again. Subies trannies are made of glass. Better luck with the MR....

___________________________

For the record, may we lay the ridiculous hater posts to rest. Many of you act as if the MR is un-moddable and not designed to be used competitively. What the hell are you talking about. It's is as close to the Jap Spec GSR as you can get outside of SAYC. The PUMA Lancer is not a friggin USDM regular 5sp evo and that thing is a monster. Please think before you try to speak intelligently because you make yourself look stupid .

 

I would say if you were in the market for a new Evo then the MR would probably be worth if but if you already have a GSR I would say it is deffinately NOT worth trading and taking the loss again (new car loss)

 

please don't think any aftermarket parts or mods. it is so vague, unreal and indefinite.
let's say it stock to stock, evo is better than wrx, sti is better than evo, mr is better than all of above.....

 

Correction...evo is better than sti......where have you been?

 

buy a GSR and spend $5K, you can probably beat mr... but it's still a GSR with 5sp IMO

 

If the gear ratios are close then the GSR should be slightly quicker in the 1/4 mile and 60 as it weights less than the MR

 

For someone who does not own an EVO it is definetely worth it to pay the extra couple of Gs.

For someone like me who already has and EVO and has modified it, its not worth taking the hit on the depreciation...

 

This is amongst the most idiotic threads I've seen here. We will, unfortunately have to repeat it twice int he next two years, first for the Evo 9, then again fort he 10. We need to all enjoy what we have and be thankful for it.

i agree

 

I tihnk the MR is worth it. Even though the Active Center Differential isn't all that important without the Super Active Yaw Control ( didn't add ACD until they realized the SAYC needed it to make the Yaw Control work well), it still has its advantages. I wish I could afford one.

 

Why, because someone asked opinions about two versions of a car that they don't own?



It's a simple question. Answer it or stay out of the thread. end of discussion.
