If you post anything on this forum which says that the Ralliart is anything more than a GTS then you get arguments and put-downs.

Whats kills this forum is - someone posts a picture of a car with a 'LILEVO' plate and everyone has to rip on him (even tho his car has AMS mods and an X intercooler and X twin scroll turbo).

Looking at the specs of Cosis car it does not look like a joke

Oh no our brakes suck, cause we did know? cause hawk brake pads and slotted rotors are so expensive. And oh nooo, our suspension is lousy. Gee, maybe not everyone who bought this car was concerned with cornering like the Evo, although again, its an easy fix.

Lastly, it his car, and he likes the plate. I could put evoetr if i felt like it, and there is nothing you could do about it. Is it true? sure, i walk all over stock and lightly modded evos, the same a stage 2 bolted gsr does to lightly modded and stock evos. A plate is a plate. If you need to cry about it more, then please go make fun of it on your forums. Thanks.

regardless of curb weight, the unsprung weight is what truely matters, the choice of material and how they are manufactered is the underlying problem.

I do know what the Ralliart is capable in it's stock form, I have a different perspective of what a sport-compact car is. Like I said before, from dealership to track, the Ralliart is a very incapable car, whereas the Evo is. To launch the Ralliart has proven difficult without having to do some very stress-inducing launches on its drivetrain.

I drove a 2009 Ralliart for a week, and will say that the GSR is a completely different beast, even in its stock form. I am not willing to own a new car, only to have to remove and replace components for it to behave better, its unrealistic from a financial standpoint as well as a warranty one as well.

Again, in reality, the Ralliart closely resembles a GTS, more than a Evolution. Dollar per dollar spent-the Evolution will outperform the Ralliart in every catergory even after the discrepancy of paying more for a GSR you will come way ahead with the GSR than you will with a Ralliart.

But you can't and won't be able to argue anything with a fanboy, its like religion or politics, you won't get through no matter the evidence. Cosis is a prime example of fanboyism at its finest. Seems you couldn't get into a Evo, so you bought the next furthest way: the Ralliart.
