Wow, abs must of kick butt to outrun the RS. It would be interesting if Motortrend stuck a 03 model to compare against the 05.
Based on the track times the MR does stand for Mitsubishi Racing.

Oh yeah suspension is different too. I wonder how the softer suspension would help. Anyways would be interesting to try the MR with the stock enkei to see if it was the wheels.
How come the MR didn't get MT car of the year
