05 GSR or 05 MR

Someone do a test already!!_!_!__!@#_@#_@_#@

05 GSR is lighter, and has the same **** except a slightly taller gearbox right???

I have a 03 and I know the MRs are better. Great, now someone tell me why an MR would beat an 05 GSR in a dragrace...!!!!!!

Edit : I also know the 05 GSR's are better... Just in case some of you want to be

But I would like to agree with the majority of people. All statisitics about both the 03 and the MR are wrong. The MR is in all actuality 20 seconds slower then the 03, as well as having horrible parts made for it. This is due to Mitsubishi's new market plan to release slower cars onto the market. Its called the DeEvolution VIII MR.

This flame has been a proud message of, why do you care if one is slightly faster then the other? Atleast answer me that. Then I will go away and never look at this post again.
