QUOTE (natedogg @ Oct 30 2006, 10:13 AM) The hood and trunk on the GSR (yes I said GSR  ) and MR are aluminum as well. You should know that Kazz.  Do you have any US-specific paperwork backing up the "GSR" label? Not trying to be a bitch, and I'm happy enough to be ignorant if I am. I thought this a non-US model declaration. Perhaps it changed when the RS/MR came out. I'm rather certain the '03 was just called Evolution ... *Shrug* -------------------- ... she likes bein' forced ...

Did you even read my original post about this? I'll make it easy and quote it for you. Check out the bold letters. And again its MY way of identifying the different trim levels. I'm not asking anyone else to conform to it. You Evo owners sure are picky.
 Just messing with you Kazz.Europe and Japan both had GSR and RS models well before the Evo was even sold here in the states. I was really into Evo's back then even, so it was always a GSR to me. The point I failed miserably at trying to make is Europe/Japan's GSR is essentially the same as America's straight eight or nine from a trim level point of view. QUOTE They call it the GSR everywhere else. Just not here in America for some reason. Just my way of identifying the different trim levels because essentially they are all IX's.

QUOTE (turbohcar @ Oct 30 2006, 09:56 PM) Are you trading in the GSX? In addition to the State Farm discount ($1750 below invoice), I shot them a price including the trade of the GSX that I was expecting them to counter offer on since I was about $500 over the highest blue book quoted value. Instead they just said "deal". They actually screwed up too because when this all started they were quoting a price of an Evo without any packages, which I don't think is even possible. So, they started saying that the one that I was going to get had the "RS" package. I told them that every RS had that and once they figured that out, they let the $470 slide. So, yes the GSX was traded in. I figure I got about what I would have if I had sold it outright and I didn't have to be bothered with it. If it hadn't been such a quick, easy deal, I would have thought that I got a good deal. After it's all done, I never feel like I got a "great" deal, though. But, I'm happy and the car is great. Just another 400 miles until the break-in period is over... QUOTE (Kazz5 @ Oct 31 2006, 09:18 AM) Which color? The color is Raly Red (the only other available color for the RS is white). I don't have any pics of the car yet but I'll probably get some this weekend and post them. One thing that the RS has standard is the front strut tower brace and rear cross tie bar in the trunk. There is no shake in this car. Here is the window sticker:

Can someone update the garage's "create new vehicle" option? It doesn't have the option to select an Evo IX (only VII & VIII).

Nice! But it just doesn't look right without the wing IMO.

QUOTE (black92_tsi_awd @ Nov 2 2006, 12:44 PM) I kind of like the no wing, stealth look. I never have liked the wing. It's a little too much for my taste. This is nice and subdued; enough for most people to not even notice. I guess that's why they make them with & without the wing, for the different tastes. QUOTE (turbohcar @ Nov 2 2006, 02:08 PM) How do you like it so far Black93? The car is phenominal. It pulls hard even with partial throttle and the slightest steering wheel movement moves the car right now. Just a few hundred more miles before the break-in is done and the real fun begins. -------------------- 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX - all options except AT & leather *sold*
