GSR is a Japanese market designation. Its not applicable to USDM cars, even though many on these boards try to make it apply. Its a regular Evo 8, which if it makes you feel better is equal to a japanese GSR. (Minus the six speed and the ayc)

 

i think that is GSR

 

Wow, good to know. Can anyone confirm this?

 

Why did I bother...

 

just call it an 8 or 8 gsr... it doesnt matter, everyone knows gsr just means a regular 8

and im pretty sure those seats arent suede, but i have an ssl so wut do i know

 

S-E-A-R-C-H and you can confirm it, yourself. Folks already took the time to answer your question. If you're not happy with what you've been told, do some legwork instead of waiting to be spoon-fed.

 

Ouch, very blunt. But understandable. Thats why I posted in the noob section, becuase one I am one, and two I was hoping some of you would be helpful. Many of you have been with your responses. I was not looking to be spoon fed, I did do a search and came up with several open questions of my own. But I also figure since it would be in the newbie section Id get some nice help.

I do have a little bit more knowledge on the matter than I did before, and thank you for all who contributed. When I asked if anyone could confirm was only a simple invitation to see if anyone could enlighten the subject matter even more, thats all.

I will and have used the search function

 

plain old evo 8.. you can say its a gsr if you'd like but nothing get better than an MR .. but no need to for the extra $ on bilsteins and 6 spd tranny.. I got an SE.. i should slap a vortex generator on and get a MR badge .. haha
but love your evo like it was your child...

 

What is the logic behind saying, "...nothing get better than an MR..." when you clearly felt that another model was a better choice?

 

One - you can consider yourself as having the GSR cause thats all that was built during your year. 05+ where we got ugly with the MR and the RS ... just a word of advice.. you might wanna swap seats and get the new recaros that come with the MR and IX's.. more durable and comfy u still own a beast my friend.. time to just level up and you'll be playing with the big boys.. unfortunately im still @ the bottom ;( but im having fun with majority of cars on teh road and so should you.. dont care about which one you have.. cause in the end its whose the better & faster driver .. have fun with your new girlfriend for the next 5 yrs

 

I own the SE and personally i find it to be better than an MR .. im not really gaining much besides bilsteins a vortex and a 6 spd tranny.. if u buy coilovers whats the point of having bilsteins. A vortex is like $100 and the MR tranny has a ****ty 4th gear.. no real probs with the 5spd.. for the extra like 5 grand on the MR .. in the end its not worth it ..with the SE you still get the red stitched seats and the BBS's ( which are ****ing awesome wheels ) and your HID's and the fogs and the lip in the front... SE all the way.. ( ill get the MR badge just to annoy people and be riCee ) just kidding. my 2cents .. ask any MR owner about 4th gear blowouts... you'll here some stories..

 

lack of sleep.. -_-

 

The 6-speeds do have a weaker 4th gear, but stronger 1-3. The transmissions had 4th gear issues only after running on a road course for extended periods; none had problems with street driving, drag racing, etc.

 

Dont want to sound like a moderator, nor do I want another thread being closed.

Lets stay on topic a bit, no offense guys.

 

is there anything more to add, your question has already been answered in this thread multiple times.
