Can someone tell me what are the differences?
Hi i'm new to the forum and lately when I'm reading through different member's threads I see people say Evo 8 GSR, Evo 8 RS-5, RS-6, MR, RS. Can someone please tell me what are the differences between all of these? I'm so confused. I tried the search bar and have yet to find a thread that gave me an explanation
i will do my best but keep in mind that i am tired so i might miss a few things:
EVO 8 GSR- our standard model. comes with a 5spd gear box, power everything, radio/cd, a/c etc..
EVO 8 RS- a stripped down version of the GSR. it has no sound deadning, no stereo, no abs, no HID, no power windows, no sunroof etc... costs a bit less than the GSR and is a bit lighter and faster.
EVO 8 RS5 OR RS6- the RS 5/6 represent the gear box of the car with the RS 5 having 5 gears and the 6 with 6spd. we only get the 5 spd in the USDM RS though...
EVO 8 MR- a mitsubishi racing edition which includes a few exclusive mods: bilstein shocks, bbs rims, aluminum lightweight roof, 6spd tranny, a few aero additions....
i am sure i left a few details out but this should give you the basics..

OFF topic= i thought the only MR edition in the US had 6 speed. BUt currently i was searching for a used evo, and there was a rally red evo ( 03 or 04 i believe) in Penn, and it has 6 gears. Care to help me?

You can buy a 6 speed box and conversion kit from TRE for an 8 or RS.

Dont forget the Euro Versions FQ-XXX (F%&@ Quick) - more or less factory option cars. Leading up to the top FQ-400. Search around for the Top Gear review of all the cars, its good watching.
