haha.. funny stuff...

 

Yes, these are the production numbers we all believe to be true. Historically, Mitsu sold ~4,000 Evos a year, but they imported an abnormally large number of IXs knowing there would be no MY07 Evo in USDM. As such, IXs sold well into 2007. Our SE was very similar to what the rest of the world saw as an '07. It always shocks non-Evo owners to see the MR as the most common IX. <grin>

 

Your local member received his information from my post. It's confirmed with a case number from Mitsubishi of North America

so how many of just the se's were made? it say including se's

 

I heard the EVO IX MR tranny's were weak after 450awtq right?

 

SO the IX MR is more common than non MR? What are the biggest differences between the IX MR and non MR? Besides the rims and such.

 

A MR has a 6-speed, a non-MR is 5-speed.

 

I think a most rare evo is an all stock evo

 

Most definitely, its almost impossible to find a used one without any mods or some kind of abuse.

 

The problem herein lies that SE's don't have their own VIN like a RS, GSR, or MR....SE is really only a "package" for the GSR and MR offered only in silver, black, and grey.

I would say that easily 25% of both GSR's or MR's were SE's.

 

By that definition I have one of the the rarest Evos!

The only non-OEM parts on mine are consumables: clutch, flywheel, rotors, pads, tires. I even run the stock radio.

OK, a flywheel isn't really a "consumable". But I kept the original, so it will be in a box in the trunk when the car rolls across the auction block at Barret-Jackson in 2028.

 

ROFL, I would love to see that. Keep it in that shape and it may be possible.

 

What I want to know is how many black MR SE are there. I don't think it's as limited as the RS numbers, but it should be close looking at the total MR + MR SE number being at 4K.
