Need Help For Why the Cheapist Evo 8 is the fastes?

[TFAS4U]

Hey Guys ONE quick question why would the thousand $ RS 28 be faster than the 35 Thousand $ MR and the 30 Thousand $ Evo 8? Is it becuase the RS doesnt have extra weight or what im about to buy a Evo but dont know which one.

It's not the fastest, but it's the best deal when buying it, you can spend the other thousands on more high performance parts and it will end up being the fastest

Exactley what you said, the weight savings.Though the FQ300 and FQ400 are much faster and heavier, but we dont get it here.

if your going to buy an evo FQ, make sure it is the 260 or 400.

the ones inbetween are basically a 260 with raised boost and not a proper mapped chip to cope with the fuelling etc and no other mods to help it cope with the extra boost.

the 400 has uprated internals and a proper management, so theres no worries there

my advice is buy a 260 as they are cheap, still quick, and you could spend the money you saved on decent engine tuning

aww its a shame you guys dont have the evo 6, they are beautiful, here is my friends:

There was a really good article on the March edition of Motor Trend comparing all three versions of the car on various tests. The RS is only faster in the straigts because it is the lighest of them all (manual windows, no radio, aluminum roof, etc). It came out last in the race track but only by 1 and 1/2 car lenghts. From what I read the only things the RS needs is ABS, better shocks (like the ones in the MR) to be the fastest.

BTW: evo 6's are definetely the coolest looking.
The MR and RS have aluminum roofs unlike the regular Evo VIII
