2005 Evo changes
For those that don't visit the Fest anymore, here is a link that was posted over there to changes for 05 to the Evo lineup.
Big ones are a 5 hp bump (to 276), a helical LSD on the front axle, and an active center differential. This is on all RS, Evo and MR models. The MR adds trick BBS wheels, Bilsteins, a 6 speed box and an aluminum roof, but I question whether it's really worth whatever the price hit is going to be. I have to admit I am intrigued. http://media.mitsubishicars.com/deta...54184&mime=ASC |

The two things stopping me from jumping on the Evo bandwagon are a) the cheeseball interior, and b) the fact that I'm not sure I could handle having both an Evo and a WRX. Other than that, the Evo looks like the real deal, and these enhancements (I forgot to mention the huge increase in torque) really sweeten the pot. I need to drive one. |

Nice man, I guess I'll wait for a 2005 MR.
