I like the front grill... Its no so bad that it looks like a hopped up escalade or anything ... But gives it a slightly more upscale look .. Kinda like the MR

In general the only ones i can find are ones of the SST in japan and i dont understand what they are saying.... OR they are outdated and when mistu was still modding it... Like the Road and Track one that said the MR would have 0-60 in 5.2.... Not realistic now that it has been worked on and perfected i hear they are expecting 4.4-4.2

Don't know if you've read this yet (about MR & SST):
https://www.evolutionm.net/features/article.php?id=101
In case you didn't know, CharlesJ is going to be able to test a production model this 29th.

That would be amazing if it will be able to do 4.4, I would be in love w/the car even more .

+1, isnt known for having interchangable parts, good for evos......bad for the rest but with this new RA id like to keep it away from the evos and make it my own.

source? all reports i've read are that the launch control isn't very aggressive...

4.4-4.2 is quite a lofty goal...

oh and on that topic, since the RA won't have S-Sport mode, the RA probably doesn't have launch control either? 0-60 numbers may suck in the magazine reviews, etc. but the car itself should be quite fast?

one of the reasons the GTR is so fast is that tranny.... 4.4 is awesome if true

I would love a MR, but maybe a ralliart is the way to go for a DD

cant really trust the mitsu reps, well not the ones here anyway, i ask them about the RA and they start explaining the evo to to me, so then i have to end up explaining the RA to them ...
