The USDM Lancer Evolution IX models: standard (Grand Sport Rally or "GSR" in some markets), RS (Rally Sport), SE (Special Edition) and MR (Mitsubishi Racing) varied slightly in their performance capabilities. Smoothness unique to each model accounted for variations in acceleration, handling and top speed. RS excluded features standard on the standard, SE and MR models (stereo system, power windows and locks, rear wiper, rear wing, trunk lining and sound insulation). The result is a weight savings of more than 60 pounds (27 kg). Fuel capacity remains the same as the Evo VIII at 14 USgal (53 L).
Although the RS is the lightest of the group, the RS did not manage to outperform the standard IX and the MR around the road course (even if only by fractions of a second). This is supposedly due to the lack of a rear wing on the RS. In a drag race, the three models are all about even. Time ranged from 13.4 to 13.7 sec quarter mile. RS model was produced for rally and racing teams who wanted a platform to build a race car from. It is stripped of all the comforts, and other upgrades that drive the price to feature racing team will not need.
