There are 2 gray evos in town, a light gray and a dark gray. This one was the dark gray one. The owner is a 5 foot, 18 years old, asian kid who is friends with one of my cousins. I don't know what MR means but it looks just like the light gray evo 8 (except a darker color)

Taken off wikipedia.

MR - 6-speed, Bilstein monotube shocks, split seven-spoke forged aluminum BBS wheels, aluminum roof, hood, and front fenders, gauge pack, HID headlights with integrated fog lights, vortex generator, and custom MR badging.

ah yea! damn him and him mocking all the other import guys and choosing to hang out with people that actually make horsepower.

MR is mitsubishi racing, they gave em like an extra 10 hp, some different air diffusers on the rear end of the roof and i think some slightly better struts and brakes. its like buying a cavalier rally sport.

All of the American models are the same in power and performance. The only thing that sets them apart is the Evo RS, which is 80 lbs lighter than the MR and SE models.

Ya it was nice to meet you too Beast and Kyle. I've only seen Beast's car once at that car Mic's car show/burnout party and to me that car didn't really look like it would be fast but the body of the car looked pretty good, I just didn't think it would have over 400 hp.

I've seen Kyle's car for the 2nd and 3rd time this weekend and it looks nice and heard that you have done a lot of stuff to your car. Is your exhaust Borla?

The car I ran (with the little asian kid) was an MR (spoiler + diffusers), so if it's the same car, it's an MR.

I'm not much for a bunch of imports at Hall's, but only because of the crowd they bring. I'm a car guy, and that transcends brands and types. I tend to prefer V8 power, and, specifically GM, due to the power output properties and packaging (I like the Ford Mod motors, but they're too damn BIG).

That said, a car guy is a car guy, and there are plenty of people that hang out up there with domestics that we're worse off for having around, vs. Cobb who can actually add something positive (well, relatively speaking... LOL).

I realize that Ben and Joe and some others don't care for him (though lately I'm getting the feeling perhaps Joe doesn't care for me either, but perhaps I'm just imagining that), but he really isn't a bad guy, and does know his stuff, even if his stuff is boxer 4 cylinders.

Anyway, this is plenty of diatribe. I realize I'm a low man on the totem pole in this group of guys, but I felt like throwing my .02 cents in for Mr. Clean anyway.
