I'm getting my first evo and wondering if I should pick a up a gsr or MR really want to know if the 5 speed trans it's worth it it's hard finding a MR around my area I want a evo 8 or 9. Im going to modded with a 67/66 precision turbo I have right of the bat then build the motor piece by piece

What they said. You can do more with the GSR then the MR. With the MR you will get the quicker shifts with the paddle shifters but you will really have to beef up the motor for the MR to support anything more then 420hp id say just to be safe. Im currently int he process of looking for an evo and I found an 08 MR that I may be going with but im still up in the air about it since I have always drove true manuals.

^ cmiiw but I think they're referring to the Evo 8/9 GSR/MR and not the X GSR/MR
