A few slight differences... wiki is a decent source

The RS is a stripped down race version lightened up with manual windows and minimal accessories along with some extra bracing in the trunk. Some RS's had different titanium turbos. I believe they are all 5 speed. They are wingless.

The SE has a lower front air damn, only comes in certain colors, red stitching on seats. 5speed but there is also MR/SE's. Black BBS wheels.

MR is the six speed version with extra gauges. Most modders/racers prefer the 5 speed because most people autocross and the extra gear shift is a disadvantage. There is also a known issue when racing hard overheating 4th gear in the 6 speeds.

For the most part they have the same engine and since it's the lightest the RS is the fastest. If you are only talking US evo's. The MR has higher quality shocks from the factory.

GSR is the base model with 5 speed.

People who daily drive on the freeway like the MR's six speed.

I'm sure I missed a lot.
