Ditch the stupid roof winglets.
Ditch the wing.
Get a short shifter.
Drop it a LOT.
Put regular Lancer taillights in there.
Give me two

The reason why the EVO's are high cause they have some plastic thing that holds the springs so that clearance wont be an issue for the car if its driven by someone inexperience with a low car. Although its still not super low . Nice cars, i want one. FYI, u can now build one on mitsubishi's website.

yeah, if you see the car in person, it doesn't look like there's such a big wheel gap like you see in the pics. i'd take an MR anyday. and that rear roof shark-fin thing (forgot the name of it) is actually and was proven to be functional.

Off the top of my head I think it's:

- ACD (Active Center Diff)
- 6-speed manual tranny
- aluminum roof
- new Bilstein suspension
- lighter BBS wheels
- up 5hp (not sure if that's for the normal '05 evo8's too) to 276hp
- and of course the Anthracite MR only color
5hp and 13 lbs more torque all around! (GSRs included)

The only extras I like better about the MR over the regular Evo is 6 speeds and BBS wheels...

When we getting the FQ-340?

Forget about the FQ340, I'd want the FQ400!
