They must have learned something form the RA.

It screamed cough, 6th GEAR PLZ cough

 

Take info from dealers with a grain of salt. IMO we know more than they do most of the time.
If that is true though (about 225hp FWD)..... to Mitsu.
I would get a WRX with more power and AWD if that was the case....and if I was in the market to get a new car (which I won't be).

 

awd would be nice.
but we have diavlo that makes that all a possibility.
the 2004 generation RA's are whats up...
anything else is just a car.

 

Is not really a dealer which told me. He's a Technician, coming back from mtsu training for the new models.

Besides, Mitsu has competition for the Sti. With 225 hp WRX's have nothing more than the launch.... WRXs loose their ***** after second gear anyway. Im not interested in beating anything I can beat with my RA on the highway anyway. Im thinking they are shooting for New GTIs and the like, u know, battle for the 200 hp segment.

Not really defending the comments, but looking at the possibility

Another thing is that even on open deck, a little more boost and gas will work wonders.

 

Ahhhh....that's different then. I would likely believe what that tech said, especially coming back from new model training.

I see your point about going after the GTIs and the like....but still man, AWD ownz! At least if it comes out as FWD, put an LSD on that biatch for some tracktion!

 

I'm actually going to lock the other one. It's too cluttered with stuff about the base Lancers, we need a thread dedicated to the new Ralliart.

 

If Mitsu doesnt put an LSD on this theyre screwed, no fun on a peg leg, turbo, HEAVY car. Also, it has to be a 6 speedster.... either that or the Evo IX RS 5speed tranny, that one has *****

I dont have many details about it. But im glad they went turbo for the segment, I prefer mitsus turbo cars to their N/A offerings

 

not to change sudject but when the evo9 where first coming out, i went to look at one and i had a ralliart.i ask him if they had a evo 9 ,and he replied"no not yet,but you have a nice evo right there".i told him it was a ralliart and he said"are you sure".i always thought that if you work at a mitsubishi dealer it might just help to know something about them.

 

i was lucky at my mitsu dealer. the guy that sold me the RA had been wanting an RA for a while, so he knew a lot about it.

anyways, on topic now, i'm excited for the new RA to come out. i'm thinking about trading...but i don't know...the crappy resale value is still a big hit against them.

 

Right on I started a good topic. I think my car will be paid off by the time the new RA comes out and Ill be in the Military by then so Im def getting one at all costs

 

Same here.

I will sell this one, (and I guess part out). How am I going to take out the camshaft lol.

RA, this should be a beast.

 

hopefully if the new RA does come out, it will at least have the same widebody as the evo X. and hopefully Mitsu's plan of having the new AWD turboed ralliart will fall through so i don't get jealous of everyone trading in their car for it
