    I think you mostly get options as standard although the power density figures seem to be different as well.

      Well Take a look for yourself lad.

      GPvR Aero Series = http://www.mitsubishi-fto.org/info/gpvr-aero.htm

      GPvR = http://www.mitsubishi-fto.org/info/gpvr.htm

      And yes also inregards to Dstocks a little bit of Power Differents as well.

      For example : Off the top of my head.

      Its like competeing a TYPE R Integra with a VTI-R abit of a differents.

      I dont really think so, I havent seen or herd anything about that...Though I'd imagine that what they have done or else features are the only differents between other FTO's and its Aero Series Itself..

      You dont no , i dont no correct me if i am wrong that is what i would like to find out myself ?

      FTO Aero Series GPvR to a GPX or GR and any other model is it a differents like the TYPE R Integra towards a VTI-R Integra ? ? ?

      Thats something i would like to find out

      Perhaps you should take a look at this

      http://www.completefto.com.au/CompleteFTO.asp?aid=454

      Seems only thing the aero has different to standard version R's is weight. M/T vR's 1150kg vs Aero's & Gpx's 1170kg. And I'll tell you this from experience, a gpx and vR will smoke a vtir and be on equal terms with most dc2r's. Down the strip of course

      The thing with all the websites is that they all say different things. I spent an age trying to find out what the correct info is, but havent got anything conclusive yet. The stuff on my site is a best guess based on what the majority of the other sites agreed on.

      Am going to get the brochures translated at some stage though, so should be able to get more of an idea then.

        I didn't know that Aero version Rs came with t-t-t-t-t-tiptronics.

        Frankly mate, the fact that it took you almost 2 years to find out the real spec of your car just confirms what I already suspected.
