Well, it was just a test drive... but, Hayward Mitsubishi just receieved a brand new White RS with just HID's and AC. Perfect if you ask me. The car only had 8 miles and the sales man was, well, very hesitant to let me test drive it.
I didn't drive it hard, but there's a couple things I did notice over my '03.
1. It's noisier.
2. It feels more nimble.
3. The brakes are more sensitive (maybe my fluid and pads are shot).
4. Feels quicker... because it's lighter.
5. Gear box and clutch felt smoother.
6. Felt even more connected to the road than the '03.
That's about it. I really liked it and thought it "felt" like a superior car to the '03s, but maybe I this was just a placebo affect and I'm kidding myself.
Screw the '05 MR, I'll take a white '05 RS. :lol: Watch me eat my words. But hey, the only thing I see that the MR has on the RS is the 6speed. Interior and gun metal grey would be nice, but that's just cosmetics. Suspension and rims, I can modify that myself.
