Evo Mr..news Update

[SONIC1050fps]

i have been hounding my Mitsubishi dealer.. 2 MR's are coming in this week.. and i live in Florida.. about as far away from Japan as you an get... put a grand down on a silver MR


Its here!!!!!! well not yet .. but this week.. i'm stoked.. Now those NSX's and s2000 and all the other great handlers are gonna have a handfull..

i expect its 0-60 and 1/4 to be much better..and its midrange ( with that extra gear to be most annoying to Srt owners.. lest i forget a bump in hp and torque.. 300 Lbs lighter bigger turbo for better respone

Damn just when i mastered the V* as far as modding

i think this car will smack a Lotus Elise in ever way.

i'll keep you posted..

anyone in south florida wants a white one.(looks good) is also unclaimed.

Is it really comming out here? Do you have any links or proof of that. Its not that I'm calling you a liar, its just that I REALLY wanna know because I want the MR and I dont wanna get my hopes up.

What is the price?

[mellowboy]

Man its not worth it. I'd just get the regular one. The only thing thats a big deal about them is the tranny that ACD in it. Big whoa!

[10.5sec92AWDTALON]

Yup, if they would've made it 300+ HP it'd be something worthwhile, and with all that extra BS I see NO WAY it's going to be lighter.

[lilcrazyslim]

Trust me, its gonna be lighter. The roof is lighter, and some other things, like the wheels are gonna be lighter. I would get it in a second!

And like we can't make the reg. evo8 lighter?? Who cares about the weight. Weight is not an issue. The car has power.

[lilcrazyslim]

Weight is very important. EXTREMLY important, because it affects everything. Performance, cornering, braking... The MR is gonna be nice, and I can wait when it comes out here, if it does come out here.

Reg.Evo8 already handles great. Lighter wheels? Anyone can go out and buy a set of lighter wheels. To make the reg.evo8 lighter all we have to do is replace the hood with cf hood, cf trunk. That might not take off "300" lbs but still just to give you an idea what we can do to the reg.evo8. You go ahead and get one. We're not sayin its a bad car but we're sayin its not worth the extra 5g's.

[lilcrazyslim]

Yea, I understand what you are saying. But its not just the hood and trunk, its the roof, and the AWD and traction. Plus its gonna have a 6 speed, which is what I've always wanted in an Evo.

[10.5sec92AWDTALON]

There is no way what they did shaved 300 pounds off that car. Rims, 25 lbs, alum. roof, 12 lbs. 300 pounds would require a near stripping of the car, and they didn't do that.

6 sp? Big deal, what's so great about a 6 sp? The RS is probably the best deal in an EVO.

Don't forget that the ACD will be a very big deal for the US, since we never had it in the first place. On top of that, the software has been upgraded, meaning that it is the best version of ACD to date.

The same applies to the Super AYC, which the MR will also be equipped with. That might not seem like a big deal, but when racers on Best Motoring talk about how much faster AYC makes them and how they wouldn't have their race Evos any other way, then you know it's a worthwhile addition.

The MR also has improved aerodynamics, and an aluminum roof. Sure you can get a carbon fiber one made, but how much will that cost? The MR will be a great step up in the US Evo line, and will probably have an edge over the STi for sure.

I know about all that. Like i said , i would just get an aftermarket one when i get my reg.evo.

[EvoCrazy]

I really want those Best Motoring videos. I would love seeing an Evo kick the overated Skyline's ass. But I do think its worth getting the MR, because its the best version we are going to get. When it does come out, I am buying it. Oh, and anyone knoe how to get the aviator to show up?
