Mitsubishi Evo 280 MR5

[coco]

Just snagged a review for this offline, talks about a razz of things going on lately with them. Can anyone vouch for this, even better, does anyone have an MR and a VIII? If you have driven both, which do you prefer?

"Though the MR runs with the exact same headline power figure (280PS, or 276bhp) as the Evo VIII, Mitsubishi has reprofiled the mighty 2-litre turbo's delivery to provide stronger mid and upper-end torque (up 6lb ft to 295 at an unchanged 3500rpm)."

Engine: 4-cyl, 1997cc, turbo
Max power: 276bhp @ 6500rpm
Max torque: 295lb ft @ 3500rpm
0 - 60mph: 5sec (est)
Top Speed: 157mph (claimed)
Price: £27,999

That really is a beatiful car, but being as it is £27,999, I am betting it is about $50,000, way over my budget. If anyone has any information on it, feel free to post it. I'll be sure to keep up on it .
