Mitsu EVO: IX vs MR vs RS?
What's the diff? I see big price differences, but not enough equipment diffs to make sense. Here's my guesstimated summary:
RS: No wing (yay!), alum doors/hood/roof of the MR, No ABS? No Radio? Manual crank windows & locks? $29,149 MSRP = cheapest??
IX: The "everyman's" Evo. Same 286 hp engine as all 3 have, same aluminum crap (except roof), more creature comforts, all steel body, etc. $31,499 MSRP
MR: Some funky shark fin dealies, alum doors/fenders/roof, 6-spd trans (better ratios... or worse?), Bilsteins, $36,299 MSRP!?! Local stealer wants $2000 over MSRP, ha!

Just curious. "Know thy enemy" and all that.
