Evo VIII vs Evo IX with dyno graphs!
That's 100% wrong. Please show me the source of your info. 
That may be the case in Dubai (EDM or JDM Evos, I don't know) but it's absolutely not the case in the USDM.
Please people. Stop posting these things unless you're 100% sure it's accurate. It's bad enough when people on other message boards think the MR is faster than the other Evos, but on here? Come on.

All US mags tested the MR to be faster, both in the 1/4 mile and in the track.

The MR had the quickest lap time but the RS was the quickest in the 1/4 mile. What magazine article are you thinking of?
Think about it if you know about Evo's you'll know that the MR has different coilovers(Billsteins)/springs and a six speed transmission as well as the MR has an aluminium roof. Buy the best motoring DVD and you'll understand. These things I have listed are the only changes over a regular 05 VIII.

My response was from this post and the others after it about the VIII MR and RS
