So when the evox first came out, they said the mr (sst paddle shifting) would be quicker than the gsr off the line , but i've been searching, watching alot of videos and lately been seeing that gsr's are faster. So is it just the driver difference or the car??? can somebody answer this for me???

 

this is going to turn out to be a biased thread 99% of guys are just going to vote with what they have

 

GSR is faster in the 1/4 mile, MR will be faster around a road coarse/autocross.

At lease I think thats how it is.

 

GSR will be faster off the line, the MR will be faster around a track

 

It all has to do with clutch slippage and launch RPMs. The MR would likely take the cake if it was a race from a roll (insert "we don't race AWD cars from a roll" comments here).. The MR shifts incredibly quickly but has a high self-preservation instinct when it comes to drag race style launches. (insert "The Evo is/isn't a drag car" comments here)

agreed, i'm glad i didnt get the mr though

 

I think these days it's fairly "common" knowledge that a well sorted dual clutch set up will simply be faster than a manual around a road course. That said, I think I will always personally prefer a manual transmission for the increased driver involvement/feel

 

Agreed X 10, I think it makes it "FEEL" a lot more sporty.

 

So both cars have their own strengths, being a gsr owner myself, i do feel that the mr is alot faster. Having said that, gsr is alot more fun to drive!!! Wut u guys think??

 

are you planning on getting one??

 

It depends. A GSR will be faster in a straight line than a 2008 MR but possibly in a dead heat or slightly slower than a 2010 MR judging by initial numbers of the 2010 MR by a couple of magazines. Around a twisting road course the MR in SS mode will always be faster stock.

 

gsr all the way!

 

GSR = Drag Strip
MR = Track

Simple! :-D

Or check out InsideLine's Comparo between the STi, GSR and MR for 2008.

 

stock for stock, the MR is faster under every situation
the #'s don't lie
0-60
1/4 mile
slalom
tracktime etc

 

MR FASTER IN SLOLAM? I dont think so buddy, nor in 1/4 mile nor in 0=60, sorry fan boy, but you a misinformed.
