dunno, maybe 5~ 10 WHP as peak but I am sure it has serious power under the curve. Plus the sales guy (which was very nice) told me that the water lines inside the block are different than the 8. they are redesigned and that makes her more **** to detonation.. Can some one confirm on this?

I agree, the IX is a better car stock for stock, i like the way my IX pulls...It pulls hard for a stock car. I still think the evo VIII is a hot car though, my buddy has a red VIII MR and that thing is beautiful.

Well faster YES. MUCH faster..
Better I will not know.. No idea.. Same block after all.
Its weird because they are very similar but feel very different ( 8 and 9). Hard to explain.

RS 3219
GSR 3263 [3338] <---Sunroof
MR 3285
Between the MR and the RS Its about the same. 66 Lbs, is not going to change a 1/4 mile time. So the RS is NOT Faster than the MR.

The link Above ^^^^^^ has times for 1/4 mile runs. Dont know if its accurate or not. Just found it browsing...It claims the MR is faster than the RS.
Also the MIVEC is also a Difference you guyz didnt mention, it also has a Role in this Drama...
