im surprised you pulled, nice job and more proof anything can happen on the street. try racing him from a dig and see what happens btw, what are your mods, any FI???
He (the SRT4) didn't pull. At the light, the SRT4 just took off before the Evo, then when they lined up, the Evo pulled.

This is where I saw my info, I think I was wrong about the 300hp, but it does say larger turbo and 300lbs lighter.

Yup, I read that article a while back too. Typical mag BS. They test drove a Japanese MR and assumed that was the way it was going to come accross the sea. I'm surprised they haven't learned that we don't get the good stuff here.

MR has the same turbo and hp specs as the GSR, 276 hp and 286 lb-ft torque.

The MR has bilstein shocks and 6 speed gearbox (plus the vortex generator and bbs wheels that were previously mentioned)...

I actually would debadge the MR...a little more sleeper and I'm not a big fan of the badge...

MR = overpriced GSR

I agree with the comment that this was a GSR with an added vortex generator.
