I think the debate over which EVO is best is stupid. It depends on what you want to use it for. If you want to save money and get a stripped car to modify and drive on the racetrack, the RS is for you. That's why I bought mine.

If you want a car that is already very nicely set-up for street and track and are willing to spend $35K, get an MR.

If you are somewhere in between and have $30k to spend, get an VIII GSR.

They are all good.
