Lancer Evo RS vs MR?

[AgaBoogaBoo]

I've driven an MR, but not an RS, what's the biggest difference? Aerodynamics, suspensions, and transmission? (6 speed vs 5 speed)

AFAIK power everything is taken out, windows, seats, locks, mirrors. No ABS, audio system, A/C, sound deadening, interior light/handles, keyless entry and rear wing and comes with a 5sp. I do remember it coming with a LSD in place of the open diff up front but i think they added that to every model but don't quote me. I've read it's a 146lb difference and when hitting those twisties, every pound counts. Basically a no frills version of the Evo with a lower price also.

The RS is the stripper model (no not that stripper ). The RS will out perform the MR but it's mostly because of weight savings from the things it doesn't have.
