I've never really understood what is different between the two. I may seem like a total nub, but ovbiously im trying to learn.
So if you guys could let me know what the differences are and what they do, like I know the MR comes with things the GSR doesnt but I have no idea what these things help with???


Thanks


EDIT: Also, are the differences the same in the 05's from MR to GSR as the differences in the 06 IX MR to GSR?

Try that...

 

both cars are great, i drive a 05 MR and I also had 03 Evo, MR has better shock made by Bilstein, MR has aluminum roof, lightweight door beam, so is the RS. light weight BBS wheels, 6 speed close ratio transmission which i like it the most. the ride on the MR is better and since MR has aluminum roof, the center of gravity is lowered, which makes the handling better. MR also comes with accessory like gauge, aluminum pedals.

 

I don't like anything about the MR except for that last gear =p I wish everyday I had 6th gear, as I'm sitting at 3krpm at 70mph =/

 

I just realized that the MR doesnt have leather, so just because of that I dont think its worth it, It's so stupid they wouldnt even offer the MR or RS in leather.

 

You don't like the Bilstein shocks, lighter rims, aluminum parts, or vortex generators? Strange...

 

The fact that you make your determination based on leather seats says a lot. The last thing I was concerned about when deciding to buy an MR was whether or not it had leather. I had leather in my IS300, because creature comforts were more important than performance. Now, with an MR, I could care less about leather and am happy about the lesser weight. The only thing I miss is cruise control...

 

I'm not making my decisions based on that, but if the MR isnt better then the GSR by enough for it to be a clear decision, if I'm not going to be racing at all, I would much rather have leather, then be able to take turns a little faster

 

By the way, I'm not disrespecting the MR at all, if I was going to be dragging or anything I'd much rather take the MR, but the 6 spd and the overall upgrades wont make a difference to me all of that much. Comfort on my drives will be important to me though.

 

There you go get a gsr

 

If you keeping everything ( or almost stock ) go with the MR.

If you think you will start changing coilover and rims... you might consider other than MR.

Of course bone stock MR is the best.

But depend of the driver, up to you.

MR or GsR or Rs = Great car, so you can't go wrong

 

If your not racing much and want comfort, go for the MR.

 

ok if u want to know all the diff between the GSR, the regular evo, and the MR car and driver released an artical matching up all 3 side by side its a 4 page tech talk on it with many comparisons between the 3 if i find the artical ill post it

 

I'm going to put coilovers on my GSR....I hate the look of the MR rims, and I mean absolutely hate them, aluminum roof = win, but in my haste i forgot it, and vortex generator =

 

Whats a vortex generator??
