you run dry shot nos in your ralliart? good luck with that....

 

No,it's a wet system, i wouldn't use a dry system unless the bottom end was stronger.....

 

The EVO usually gets me around 18-23 mpg and the RA usually averages 21-25mpg all around. This doesn't mean you can't get better but most drivers mix highway and city in the same tank. I have pulled 28mpg in the EVO on a long trip with very little boosting and 30mpg in the RA driving it less than 3500RPM. Just thought people would want to know the difference between a EVO and a RA mileage wise.

The RA will beat a 5 speed Eclipse GTS. Don't ask how I know...just trust me here.

 

My buddy just bought an 04 se-r spec-v, in direct competition with my RA. We swapped cars for a day and i must say, the spec-v is a quick ride. Quicker than the ralliart? Well, its so close that it would boil down to how good the driver is. The spec-v feels a lot sloppier than the percission of the RA. drive one and you'll know exactly what i mean.
The spec-v was the car I would have bought if the RA wasn't there, but I am more than happy with my purchase


P.S. The 6 speed of the spec-v is cool, but not THAT cool

 

The Ralliart, in terms of how fast it is, can do well in its price range. Of course I find it funny we are comparing it to a type s, which is, what 10,000 more than the RA? As for handling, the springs aren't as stiff/sporty as other cars. But it handles really well even with the stock crappy all season tires. With some sticky, summer tires on there, it would handle well. You can tell the car rolls a little bit (the springs are stiff, but not THAT stiff). But the SUSPENSION rolls, the body is very rigid. The body on the RA is loads stiffer than the Sentra SE-R. Mostly because the sentra is, what, 10 years old. The RA is only 3 or 4 years old?

 

Take 'em both to the 1/4 mile track! Then get back to us

 

Just out of curiousity, we went on one of those unnofficial and untimed tracks
I launched a little better and through all the gears his front bumper stayed at the back of my back door. That was up untill about 4th gear, then we stopped, and you better believe his ***** *** bought me burger king after that!

I'm not sure where the spec-v beats us, or if he just sucks at starts, but everytime we seemed to be dead even, minus the launch (he did a ricer fly-by once, but we mocked him for hours and he promised to never do it again)

 

Has anyone actually raced a SPEC-V? There's this girl I know who has one that I want to race, but she doesn't race her car

 

Spec V is a nice close race, and yes... SCC dyno'd the ralli-art at 157hp and 155trq, whichi is not bad for a car that comes 162/162, plus that bulit proof transmission you get from the evo. Do the evo and ralli-art share the same clutch?

 

Where di you Price the RSX Typoe S at? Here in West Chester , PA the RSX Type S Brand new with no miles is 22k.My RA was 25k.The Type S is Really nice on a nother hand.I was gonna get one ,But they couldnt get me financed,So I got the RA.And I am Happy with it.

 

I did.. I am Stock and he was slightly modified.I got my *** handed to me. After that,I am more determined to race him again when I get my Intake and exhaust ( thats all he had).. JUST SO I CAN HAND HIM HIS ***!

 

you paid 25K (or the car stickered at 25K) USD for a Ralliart???
Don't they sticker at 18K?

Here in Canada--a full load Ralliart costs 25K CDN. Someting doesn't add up here

 

^^^ yes, 18k sticker for a ralli-art USDM.

 

In Canada, my RA a hair under 25,000. Type S, similarily loaded, about 34-35,000.
That's a helluva lot of money to be buying 38 more horsepower and another speed.

 

I hope that "25k" was a typo. A brand new RA without the sun and sound package should be less than $17k USD out the door these days, and under $18.5k out the door with S&S. I got mine with the sun, sound, and side air bags package for $18.6k out the door back in March, and I believe the discounts have increased since then.

Please tell us you didn't pay $25k USD for a Ralliart
