just wondering what you guys think

my opionion on both
8 mr
pros
1000 made in US
factory blacked out wing
based off fq-400 styling wise minus a few things
cons
interior seats

9 MR
pros Mivvec engine
better seats
20g turbo
cons
painted inside of wing (preference I HATE that)
not a lot of engine mods to date ie cams and things like that correct me if im wrong but do no jack the thread)

Personally i may be a lil bias seen as i own a gg 8 mr but i like it solely because there were only 1000 units made and at that time if you saw a gg evo you know it was a MR. Wish mitsu would have kept gg soley a MR color!

what do you guys think

 

almost identical on the outside besides a couple little things but on the inside mivec and the 10.5 makes the difference

 

Nothing against the 8 but the 9 is just a better car hence my choice.

 

front bumper + much more power = easy call

 

The IX does not have a 20G turbo. Its a 16G with a bigger compressor housing.

 

ahh thanks GPTourer

 

I have had both the VIII and the IX (both GSR) and I like the IX hands down.

 

I wish they would have kept gg solely for MR, but it is popular. How many MR's did they make this year. I thought they limited production in 06 also.

 

nope they keep pumping them out

 

Easy call...

 

What is wrong with the Evo 8 seats?, They feel stiffer than the Evo 9's.

Other than intake cams all other mods are out there for the 9. AEM doesn't have EMS ready yet for the 9 but with the flexibility of ECUFlash that's not as big a deal unless you're really going for big power.

At the end of the day I'd say they're pretty much equal

 

So your saying you would trade someone for a VIII Mr w/ same milage/mods?

 

the newer the better, thats how the EVO's evolution goes.
IX

 

the 8 mr was more exotic, due to the fact there wasnt to many made in the first place. also as other said before me, when you seen a GG evo you knew its a MR. unforunately they made it available for the gsr this time around on the 9. but i would have to say i would take the 8 MR because i felt it was more or a rare car. i see oh so many 9 mr's daily. 8 mr's on the other i still see very few on the road.
