I'm looking to pick-up an EVO 9 and debating on getting a SE or MR model. Pro and Cons?

I hear the MR 6 speed tranny is bad. Anyone???

Let me know. Thanks

 

The six is weaker then the five. But IMO it depends on what your going to do with it. Big build? or basic bolt ons? or Middle of the Road?

 

^ this has been covered and debated and blown out of proportion more times than anyone can count on here. Your better off searching and developing your own opinion.

 

search...My opinion buy a SE

 

in before the lock.. SEARCH!!!

 

id say the 5 speed is much nicer.. betterg ear ratios, less shifitng in general imo... 6 speed is good if you do a lot of long distance drives, other than that id definately take the 5 speed

 

I prefer the 6 speed. You can make good power on the 6 speed, as long as you don't beat the **** out of it.

 

need to figure out your plans for the car....i love my SE and like everyone said above 5 spd ftw......alot of people that drive a bunch of miles daily well tell you 6spd for that reason only

 

Middle of the road! Looking for something with to be daily driven around 450-500hp.

 

Doing my searches and might stick with the SE! Thanks for all your input.

 

Se all the way. Better looking seats and has front lip, with better gear box. The only downside are the suspension, unless you get coil over.

 

I see that you SOLD your 9. How much did you get for it?

 

pm you

 

MR all the way - I find the 6 speed perfect for track days!

 

people have told me that between 400-450 is cool, as long as you don't thrash your car. i have a MR and i'm in the same boat as you, i think 400-450 is cool. if you want a lot of power, just go SE, almost same thing, just only difference is the tranny, suspension, gauges, the little wickerbill on the spoiler, and badges. good luck!
