Buy the one you can afford and that comes with the features you want. How would we know what is best for you?

Also the GSR pulls harder on a highway, Alot harder, mainly cause when you stomp on the gas the Turbo spools rightaway, with my MR i got to drop gear to 5 and then stomp on the gas. It works but my freind always gets away. but he does have alot more HP now.

GSR SE is actually an MR minus the badges (inside and out), Minus the 6th gear, Vortex Generator and brake air guides.

If you think that those things are worth the additional money then buy it but otherwise the GSR SE is an MR for all intensive purposes.

The SE has the same suspension, so how is it stiffer than the MR??? You guys sometimes scare me with the level of thought put into your answers.

The GSR SE from South Coast Mistu is the best deal on the streets today.

I would if I wasn't in limbo with my Military orders. I had an SE EVO on hold and then some orders popped up and ruined everything. Sometimes defending freedom and Democracy has huge sacrifices....

I will definetly get the GSR SE from Southcoast Mitsu.

Thanks for all of you that gave me some real input.

The details you gave me definetly helped me narrow down my choices and I really wanted the lighter roof and the Gray Graphite color really bad so I wasn't going to settle with the RS. But after all of your help I am definetly set on getting the GSR SE for 29,999 at southcoast.

I have one question about the suspension on the GSR SE, is it the same Bilstien dampers as the MR or does it have the same suspension as the other models?

Thanks for all of your help.

Yeah dont settle for the RS...its not the reason someone should choose the RS. I wanted the RS...I wanted no frills, lack of abs, and thats what I got.

SE has the same dampers as the stardard IX and IX RS...its only an apperence package.

MR has the Bilsteins, the GSR SE and the others do not. When I test drove the MR, it felt like it had a bit more roll than a GSR.
