Lets say that ALL the evolution models were priced at 30k from the factory... which model would you buy? Taking recent tests into consideration, I'm curious to see the response...

well definately not the RS. Not having ABS turned out to be a huge mistake at the track it looks like.

Id probably take the MR.

did you see the motortrend article?

the difference was huge.


PLUS. With the MR and the GSR, you can take sh-t out to make it the exact same as the RS.

Goodluck putting the ABS back into the RS.

Who wouldn't buy the MR, seriously. All magazines say the 6 speed and the bilsteins are awesome. Plus you get all the stuff like HID's and gauges and ACD, which are just options on the others (not ACD but you know what I mean). But really, is this even a decent poll? MR all the way. Anyone who says different is just trying to be dumb.

^^^ and I second this dude above, anyone who says they want the RS is just being difficult because you have so much more with the MR already and you can just take out the stuff you dont want to make your own RS.

dont' know.....the reason i bought my GSR was because i love the leather, better stereo, sunroof and most importnatly .....it's black (a color the MR doesn't come in.)

the price of mine was only a few hundred less than the MR with the options..........

granted...this is only a rumor...it has not been proven yet.....so don't freak on me when i say this....but according to some people and different sources, the 5 speed is stronger than the 6 speed...........

it all depends on your intensions with the car.....modding/daily driver...there are so many variables

They're different cars for different uses. For those who prefer driving as opposed to pontification, and power oversteer as opposed to coasting through, the choice is clear

The choice is indeed clear. The MR and the GSR are both faster than the RS at the track . . .
