Evo MR vs. M3 vs. STi

[SkylineBNR34]

Can anyone tell me what the weight, quarter mile, and 0-60 figures are on these cars? as well as some opinions on what the better buy is?

Thanks!!!

Mitsubishi Evo MR
BMW E46 M3
Subaru WRX STi

if you go to www.mitsubishimotors.com and click on the evo section you can get side by side stats/comparison of all those cars.

www.edmunds.com will have weight, power, and all that stuff. As for 0-60 and quarter mile times, you're gonna get a very wide range. I would guess that the STi is the fastest in both of those sections, but the Evolution MR is certainly a better overall performer. The M3 is awesome, but it's a lot more expensive than the other two. It has a nice interior and brand cachet, though.

I drive a 97 vr4 and when i went to the dealer ship last week they had one of the MRS the dealer ship had a $3500 mark up on the car. From 36k to high 39k.
I think if you want just performance go with the EVO MR and a lot cheaper.

I dont know about the Evo MR but if your talking about the us version it should be about the same as the gsr 0-60 in 5.0 - 1/4 mile in 13.6.
Sti 0-60 in 4.9 - 1/4 mile in 13.2
E46 M3 0-60 in 4.7 - 1/4 mile in 13.2

I can tell you the 0-60 on the 2005 Evolution VII MR is 4.59 seconds.

The fastest Evolution model for 2005 is the RS, its also is the least expensive $28,500 plus dealer mark-up. The car is power delete no power windows locks no radio or sound deadning material no ABS. The best part about the car in my opinion is it also has no rear wing.

The RS does 0-60 in 4.4 seconds due to weight reduction. Not sure on the rest of the performance numbers.
I had to sign a waver from Mitsubishi Motors stating I understood the performance capabilities of the car and would not hold them resposible if in an accident. I live in Mass,and bought the car in N.H last week.
