mr is a little heavier, not lighter, than the gsr. for drag typically they say 5 speed is better but i dunno when it reaches those speeds

 

You're wrong, most people will tell you that the 5-speed is better because it is stronger, and the MR is not lighter. It may have a lighter roof but its a bit heavier than the 5-speed evo due to the 6-speed tranny being a little bit heavier.

 

haha you beat me to it

 

like i said, the only time hes going to race is wen someone pulls up next to him an the freeway or a stop light. and all he plans on doing(that he told me) is a BC(at 21 psi), IC pipes, intake, and a catback with a tune...

 

oops! my mistake.. thought it was lighter cuz of the alum roof. thanx for the clarification.

 

either dab will do ya...

If he can afford the MR go for it

 

I like my 5 speed... less shifting, unless he will be on the freeway a lot the 6 is pointless in my mind... the 6th gear is just cruizin', my 5 does just fine on the freeway and i dont have to shift as much while racing...

 

Sorry, not to go off topic but racing on the streets should be a big no no...just my 2 cents.

 

True, but we all know that it happens, if your smart about it, who cares, just dont be f*cking stupid...

 

All depends on the driver... skill makes up a greater part of the equation than you think. Until you race someone with more skill than you (with a similar performing car) than you'll understand its "90% driver , 10% car"

Either way you'll still be driving an Evo... enough car to kick some serious a$$!

 

k thanks for the info guys

 

if he wants to be faster then he need to go evo 9 with a 5 speed

 

so 5 speed, but if he can afford it then the 6 speed

 

What's the point of having an Evo if you're just going to drive aound town looking for SRT-4's. Not taking an Evo to some kind of event is like those people that own huge trucks that can tow 10,000 lbs just to drive their 8 year olds to school.

And by the way, street racing is ALWAYS stupid, even if you "just try not to do anything supid." Too many people have died to be this flip about it.

 

DAMN!!! I paid 32,3 for my MR SE.
