do the regular 5 speed evos have that too? or is it just in the 6 speed mr, cuz my rs feels very very different from the MR

Get the RS if you want to keep on modify, the MR is fully loaded from mitsu so its more of a collector version. The regular IX is in the between.

The RS weighs 146 lbs lighter. There were only 700 RS's made. So not that many in production. The RS actually might be more of a collector then the MR over the long run
I'm not sure how many MR's were made. So correct me if it's under 700.

Maybe you have to get used to it so I can't state accuratly which would be optimal for the 1/4. Driver dependent...

Best tires= best times
Don't care if you got 600whp if you can't transfer it to the ground it is meaningless.

tires is one thing BUT dont forget rotating mass, bring on the 17's or even 16's thats the best for acceleration, and thats what matters, but i agree its not how much horsepower you got, its hows your power to weight ratio is and how quickly can you get your turbo to spool up for that horsepower :P

You guys act like you're going to spin the wheels to hell with this AWD car. As for stock HP, i wouldn't worry about the tires for grip. You want the tires to give when you launch @ 5500 ~ 6000 rpms. I've been launching this way for 4 years, and it always gives me constant 60' times in the 1.6X range.
Three models will also be available in Europe and Japan. Although all models use the same 286 hp (213 kW) engine the torque differs from an model to another, the GSR produce 295 Ft-lb (400Nm)of torque while the RS and GT Produces 300 Ft-lb (407Nm)
RS - revised 5-speed, aluminium roof, gauge pack, minimal interior, LSD and a titanium-magnesium turbine GT - revised 5-speed, this is basically the RS mechanically, but with some of the GSR's features (mainly interior pieces).

I can't help in real life that the man prefers to be gay, but the character he portrays on screen is another story.
