Only if you were someone who preordered one of the 500 made. If not, then no.

The graph shows a lot of the STi's 6spd MTs quirks.

Are we sure this graph of gearing is correct?

The EVO MR will only be turning 2150rpm at 60mph in 6th? and 2800rpm at 80mph? Sheesh, off boost it might get about 35mpg on the highway!!?!?!

And it will do 50mph in REVERSE?!?!

If this is correct, I may get an MR simply because it would be sweet on highway trips!
