Get the MR if you're going to track and autocross it. I can't begin to tell you how many modded evo 8's I lapped in my stock MR with just 245 series BF KD street tires. The suspension tuning on the MR is unreal for a stock suspension.
Like I said for street, get the 03 evo 8. if you're into track days, all that you will need is Khumo Rs or Hoosiers with the MR.
my .02 cent

Well mines gonna be parked till the salt is gone, but if you aren't part of evo-ny, join up. There is usually local info about Watkins Glen/Limerock events when available.
The showdown will have to be in late spring
