I knew i should have kept it to myself

 

well nowadays the regular ones have the GG color too so that makes things more confusing. since every GG color i see i assume that they are MRs.

last time we had a dyno day we had like 8-9 GG MR s

RR used to be hot color but not anymore.

 

Lucky I got a ww MR. Not GG.everybody has GG

 

you vin# will tell you your production #. Look at mitsubishi website, there is a link explaining the meaning of the vin#
As for how many they made total, Im not sure how you find that information out?

I have an 8 MR. But it is becoming far from stock. The "rareity" is not going to play into the resale value of mine because its been all done up. But i think that a stock 05 MR will hold value and possibly be a collector in about 20 years.

 

The code is the same for a regular evo and an MR, H8

 

The 05/Evo were the only true MR made...the 9's were MR Packages.....totally different.

 

Damn!!! I can't believe I bought a IX with an MR Package. I wish I had a "true" MR…

 

O'RLY...........what are differences?

To me the rarest would be the 06" TB Evo 9 MR SE

 

that does not make sense, just because it was done a year after its not an mr wtf? And if it is true what you say i prefer my fake mr with mivec and a better turbo

 

Interesting...Look at your sales information/window sticker... does it say MR Package on it?

The 05/Evo 8 was marketed as "Evolution 8 MR"

a lot of people wanted it so they extended it to the IX's

 

I could careless what people prefer....I didnt want an MR...but opted for the SSL package.

In your case why not buy a GSR since it comes with mivec and "better turbo?"

 

Have you thought of writing Mitsubishi directly?

 

because the IX mr has those things said previously plus everything the 05 model had. The 6 gears where important too better gas milage specially when u commute 60 miles per day
