awesome, thanks for your input guys, One of the main reason I like the RA is because of the AWD, Im a snowboarder so im driving up to the mountians 5-7 times a year and also the RAs rear seat fold down (well i think so) so i can fit the boards in the car, trying to fit 2 boards in my mustang was a big time fail, Does the Evo X rear seats fold down ? do you know ?
Also HID lights ? I dont really understand what they do, just brighter lights ? counldnt i just get better light blubs for that ?
Thanks Brett

To be done right they use a projector rather than a reflector type headlight assembly. So doing a good as oem retrofit is costly. You can get plug and play kits that will add the bulbs to the stock headlight assembly, but they will not be as good/safe/legal.
Plain replacement bulbs that are supposed to be brighter, are pretty much marketing hype. Unless they're higher wattage, which makes them actually work a little but then that's the same as putting a higher wattage bulb in a house lamp. (You can do it but, should you...)
Well, if you are up against the new Mustang GT you can forget about it. C&D puts the car at 0-60 in 5 flat.
They also claim 1/4 mile in 13.6 @104 which is also quicker than the RA. A few mods will level the field, but you are still going to have a bit of turbo lag to over come. AMS ran 12.9 with a few bolt-ons and a tune.

Base (V6) Mustang is much slower.

to the OP, if you're buying a Ralliart the last thing you should worry about is warranty
