I read about this in one of my magazines, they're going to have a color called "Graphite Grey" that looks pretty sweet. It even comes with special "Mitsubishi Racing Edition" floormats.. woohoo!

lighter weight
Can't argue with that
6speed trany
I'm quite happy with 5 gears
Bigger turbo
It just has a bigger hot side and a slightly different comperssor housing. You can upgrade to the 10.5 hot side on the 03'.
...but it's always nice to see improvements ...they are inevitable

There's one of those for sale in South Charleston. It's $36,500, I beleieve, and it looks sick. It's white with graphite wheels. The wheels are lighter than the regualr Enkeis, though not by much. It has an adjustable center diff, I think. It has a diffuser on the roof. The wing is painted, as opposed to black like in that top pic.

The ACD(active center diff) will be standard on all new Evo's, not just the MR.
The black wing is actually just clear coated carbon fiber. Underneath the blue paint on my wing is carbon fiber as well.

I knew it was naked carbon...the wing only weighs 6 lbs, I believe. I was just saying that I'm pretty sure it was painted white on the sides like a regular EVO's. I had never heard that all new EVO's would have the adjustable differential. That's awesome if they are, I just hope the price doesn't keep getting higher, too.

I just hope the price doesn't keep getting higher, too.
Just under 30k without the HID headlights and intercooler sprayer.
