What I wonder if this guy is on this forum? I mean the EVO RS is the best and actually I consider it as the race version. Some has no A/C, no ABS, lighter and no BS.

I was using my evo for daily driving but i seriously considered a white 05 RS but I wanted the 6-speed and the RS was so rare and unavailable at the time.

I just love the white RS with the grey/black MR wing with, MR light, and black door handles and side view. Sweet

i thought us evo guys are cool to each other, i mean i look for other evos all the time and met two or three diff, ppl with evos and they are cool as hell, i just hope that nobody will hate on me b/c i am younger. i got my evo in 03 and i was 18, now i am 20 and still the couple of evo owners i know and met are older than i am.

but anyways you got and evo, thats all that really matters

Keep your chin up, the RS rules. I bought mine over the GSR because I didn't want the wing or the sunroof and it comes with a rear bar right off the bat. To each his own, you should have told him to SUCK IT in your best New York accent.

RS Evo's are the cheap EVO's, and are sort of what an EVO is all about anyway - supercar performance on a budget.

Guess which are the most valuable chassis in the US for 92 Civic's?

The EH2 hatchbacks. Why? Lightest. Best for racing. 13 years later, who gives a crap about sunroofs and power windows when they cost 200 lbs on the track. The EH3 (the SI) is only valuable to stunna's.

The RS is a pure EVO. I own a GSR, and I love it, but there will be people who hate anything that's "different" or doesn't agree with their tastes.

Ignore them. It's not worth the psychic time or energy.

Actually they are called that here, go to you local mitsu dealer with a vin from an 03 EVO VIII, as you like to call it, have them look it up and the computer will definately let you know that it is an 03 Lancer Evolution VIII GSR.... Just like your friends Integra GSR and just like your Lancer Ralliart, it references a trim level

No, to us it is an VIII. The term "GSR" does not appear anywhere on the build sheets or order confirmation reports. Even State Farm will ask you VIII, RS, or MR. And most of the other companies I've called say the same thing.

Since I have actually seen it with my own eyes you must know more than me. I went to the parts dept. to get my touch up paint they typed in my VIN and voila the computer screen had 2003 lancer Evoltion VIII GSR right on top of the screen.

How about you go buy an Evo VIII, make sure it isn't an RS or an MR, and see what trim level you get.....

Thanks for your input

i had a similar thing happen to me where a guy reffered to my car as a "so-called evo". He said "You don't even have a CF wing! HAHAHA" i thought to myself as i chuckled "Yeah, well you don't even have a stock 10.5 hotside or an aluminum roof, d!ck." Don't let him bother you, we love you
