Wow, now it's officially on Mitsu site. I wish some of that stuff was on my EVO. I hope the MSRP is high because it would help save my "vanilla" EVO's value.

bozspeed and evoWALO...ditto on the USDM badge...it's underwhelming, but that's fixable. ACD, Blis, roof 6-speed and BBS would be nice, but $4-6k seems 50% too high.

Yup - Car and driver's tester MR weighed in at 3300 lbs even ... so much for the weight savings

Damn, nitpicking over 30 pounds like some professional drag racer....I just have to sit back and grin.

And 20.3 lbs of boost? Hehe, that just tells me that the '03 motor (same as MR) can handle the same amount of boost and be rated just the same. So much for their increase in HP.

see this is the **** im getting tired off...Who the **** is nitpicking about 30 pounds? I just corrected/informed someone of what it actually is. You can take your sarcastic comments and shove it.

If you want to get nit picky I think anyone who drags Evo's are wasting its potential. Its funny, your critisizing (SP) me yet your acting like you are some badass driver with years of experience.

No **** the 03 engine can handle the same amount of boost because ITS THE SAME ENGINE! But you probably dont know that do you...No of course not. Or you wouldnt have said something that stupid.

O and btw they dont have a increase in horsepower....All the 05's are getting the same increase...And btw, the MR was 2 seconds faster per lap then the 03's on the ....ahh damn what was that track...cant remember now.... Its on another thread around here. Regardless...

Wanna know whats funny.... I bet you dont know that the Evo is a tuners car, Its capable of a hell of alot more then 20.3 pounds of boost...But damn I dont think you knew that either. Here is something else for you, ANY EVO can out perform another with better mods and a better driver....Im mainly speaking in terms of car to car not driver to driver though...Since that seems to be what your all about.

Your so busy trying to prove something to everyone who wants to own a MR or has plans already to get one that you dont seem to realize its the same ****ing car with a couple goodies that all of the 05's are getting for the most part.

Jesus I hate this crap...Why the hell does everyone have to get sarcastic and malevolant when a new Evo comes out...

You gonna pull the same **** when the Evo 9 comes out arnt you.... O well my modded evo can spank it, or my modded car can hold with that engine, even though its the same engine....

I dont know why I bother, No im not defending the Evo MR...Im simply getting pissed that everyone has this Evo war going on when we all have the same engine with the same capabilities. Whatever, it seems not many people understand this...

Jesus you guys crack me up. I have to laugh at you pulling your panties our of your butt since I got you all puckered up. I know everything you know about the Evo. I own one and I read this board daily....(BTW, never been banned Tanner).

YOU obviously missed my point. So I won't bother. Go suck your thumb little baby cause you can't take a little criticism.

And for the record, I've never said I hated the MR. It's an Evo and I'm happy they added some options to the base model GSR. Get a clue...matter of fact, here is a nickel so you can rent one.

Your non stop sarcastic and cynical(sp) comments do nothing but stir up more drama. Noone cares if you were joking, being funny, whatever your doing...Its not contributing to this board. If your happy its here STFU and keep your fingers off the keyboard.
