This was mentioned in the rallying roots thread, but thought it deserved it's own thread since its a different magazine and a tarmac contest.

 

interesting outcome ...

 

Is there any difference between the 2010 SE and the 2011 MR Touring? Trans, heated leather, trim, seem the same....

 

MR Touring is way nicer: Rims, leather (the SE heated seats are the GSR cloth seats).

 

SE weighs less though, which for the X the less weight the better.

 

The review cited the SE weighing 96lbs less than the MR. The MR-T is heavier.

 

Correct, that is what I was saying. The MR-T is weighed down with extra nonsense.

100lbs is a lot.

 

evo for me

 

Where does the nearly 100 lbs come from? I don't understand what equipment differences between the SE and MR could equal 100 lbs.

 

No giant wing...thats like 25 lbs right there...seriously.

Less sound deadening too I believe.

 

That wing ain't no 25 lbs?!? If it is, I'm taking mine off TONIGHT.

 

nice review, but wouldn't you guys rather they tested the GSR, or at least brought one along? Instead of a car they only delivered 300 of or whatever last year.. Not that I think the results will be that much different anyway

 

I wouldn't be so sure Noize, lol.

I forget what someone said, but replacing the stock trunk/wing with a wingless carbon fiber I thought saved like 40lbs or something.

Lift the trunk, that **** is heavy.

 

I know the metal trunk is super heavy. But I would guess the SSS wing is probably 5 pounds max.

 

Maybe you are right...who knows. (not I)
