Damn, seriously, was there this kind of argument when the RS came out?

"Why would you buy a GSR when you can save six bucks that you can put into mods?!"

"Why does everyone hate me because my car is beautiful"

Why is there this argument now? This is silly. The whole argument that you could just save the money on the MR and put it into mods and somehow come out ahead is just stupid. That's like saying that your modified Supra is faster than my 911, and for the same price. Well no donkey nuts it is! It's not an issue of how fast the money can get you to go is it? I mean, if you want the best speed to penny ratio, I don't think either the MR or the GSR is the way to go. The fact is that the Evolution is a very balanced sports car. I like getting in my car and feeling like I'm in a cartoon. I like the stupid nipples on the roof, and the wheels that take seven hours to clean, and the six speed transmission that I have to shift every seventeen feet, and my $4.95 MR badge on the back, and the fact that at max 999 other people have my car. And I don't care if you like my car, I do. If I cared if other people liked my car I'd get an Aston Martin or some other preppy poppycock like that.

Obviously it was worth it to buy the car for me. It's silly to ask if it was worth it. Obviously for the people who have them it was at some point. I just like special models. The whole retail industry makes a killing off of people like me. There are others like me though, obviously.

So if you wouldn't have bought an MR, fine. If did, great. If you're going to be insistant that it isn't worth it (which is plum retarded because to Mitsu's target audience (the 1000 who bought them) it obviously was, and at a premium to some) WHY DO YOU INSIST ON POSTING THREADS ABOUT IT?!?!?!

Yes, you don't have the 6 speed tranny or aluminum roof but you have superior suspension and wheels and less weight and yes you do have warranty on those parts and taking into account you left everything else stock, with the above setup you'll be just as fast as the MR if not faster around road course.
I see this post completely the opposite than most others. I see MR owners trying to justify spending more money on their MR not 03 owners trying to prove something else.
Not to be an a$$ but all those parts install themselves right. I doubt that the powertrain warrenty would be intact after the install of an aftermarket front LSD.
