I think the weight is around 3150. roughly 150 lbs off the gsr model.

I thought somewhere that I read 400ish evo VIII RS's in 04.

2) What is the official weight of the RS? I thought I saw something in the low 3000 lbs range posted.

Thanks...now add more pics people! I definitely want to see more hi-res photos of VIIs please!!!

Your right about the 358 for USDM IX RS found here: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...s-updated.html

I'm not positive about the USDM RS wieght, but I've seen it listed a couple times at 3219lbs IX RS(w/ manual A/C listed as standard so non AC will be under 3200lbs) vs IX MR 3285 vs IX SE 3262. The VI TME RS is listed at 1260 kg or 2778 lbs

Wow the VI TME RS is super light! That's lighter than a 98-01 Subaru 2.5 RS coupe.

I certainly like your track wheels better.....Although not bad, they have a BMW, sporty thing about them

BTW, Thanks for your reply to my wheel & strut bar question....I realize now that you are a serious 1/4 miler & the strut bar is probably not to useful......Peace

Thanks Craig
I LOVE MY RS!!
