Lancer performance models compared

Hey guys I just joined the site. I am a big Ford Racing guy. I currently drive a supercharged 97 mustang gt. But I have followed this car and the evo x since they were just a rumor. I had initially hoped that mitubishi would bring the RS to the US. But for me at least I believe that they came up with a better option and I am very excited about this car. It will make an excellent DD. I actually had the chance to drive one at a dealership in ohio yesterday. I fell in love with it even more, it's transmission is unlike anything I have ever driven before, even though we all knew it was a TCSST, it is def a different experience driving one, it shifts just like a manual, it is a strange and enjoyable experience. To me the car felt like a quick sedan, which is what I am looking for. A set of bilstiens and a tune and this car is going to be awesome. I am just waiting on mitsu to release lower APRs and some rebates and then I am going to be searching for a GG one.

Anyway, just wanted to say hey and tell you a little bit about myself. Here is some info I found on Mitsu's site, most of us already know the differences but it is interesting none the less. I am particularly surprised at the very small amount of difference between the width of the x and ralliart and the track.

So it looks like a sway bar swap is greatly going to help in the corners.

That's some pretty serious power out of your x for only having adding CAI, exhaust, and a tune. Am I correct and assuming that is to the wheels? That is pretty impressive. It is my hope that the ralliart will reach the 270awhp mark with the typical bolt-ons.
