If you like to drag race, stick with the base EVO. The 6 speed does not like to drag and is weaker than the 5. The MR handles and rides a little better ans is probably a better auto cross/ track car.

They're both great cars. I might be more of a question of what you can find.

I think the 5spd is at around 3800rpm when doing 80mph. I remember it being just below 4k.
