YOU SIR ARE RETARDED!!!

 

I bet that at least 4 or 5 more people respond to that comment in the same manner. What a dumb thing to say. If I were the moderator of this section, I would delete that comment and all those responding to it. It makes the forum look bad. I should have thought better of saying anything.

 

Its all about demographics..aim toward a specific consumer. different cars different needs different wants. EVERY car will have its + and -'s. All that matters is your pleased with your choice of vehicle at the end of the day.

 

How do you explain the Pinto?

 

I LOL'd pretty loud. My fiance was concerned when she heard me from the other room.

 

Because we needed road flares at the scene of the crash!!

 

HAHA touche' well normally Im pretty good with replies but you stumped me on that one.

 

One word: Sportback.

Wanting a useful Hatch with AWD, and some sportiness, I looked at the Subaru WRX, Mazda Speed3 and the Audi A3.

The RA met all of my needs, and is one of the best all-around cars I have driven. The Evo MR is a fantastic car, but is it worth the extra 10k? Depends on what you are looking for, do you want to go Sti hunting? or Autocross? then you may want an Evo, but if you want a good DD that you can take out to the back country on the weekends, then the RA is a good choice.


Hard to do this in an Evo:

 

simple answer to this post....yes! lol unless money is an issue at the moment...but if money is an issue then i would hold off on buying a performance car until i could afford the evo + maintenance costs for sure!

 

Wow. I thought we were all car people here, I did not know that owning a Ralliart made me a lower class ?

Of course, I, like many others I am sure, own more than one car, and just because we do not own an Evo, does not make us unable to talk about one.

For reference;
2010 ralliart sportback
2006 navigator
1973 hemi roadrunner
1962 corvette
1963 impalla
1966 mustang
1955 bel air
1957 bel air

I just happen to like the way the Ralliart drives,

Cheers

 

I don't know why people in here keep on insisting the two cars are way different but at the same time say things like "if I add x or improve y, I'll have evo performance." Thats not even what this topic is about..It's like saying a civic with a viper engine will beat a ferrari in a straight line.

I think this topic should stay out of mods. Keep it simple, compare the two vehicles stock for stock.

I am sure the guys who engineered the evo will LOL if they see the comments in here made by some people. Or they can just put coilovers on the RA with a 1000 custom tune and bolt ons and sell that as the evo. Ohh wait, or they can just put a tune & i/h/e in the evo X and sell it as a 4 door GTR.

 

an evo is just a "lancer" its the make. i wouldnt say its just a lancer. i would say its a FXCKIN RALLIART

 

lol. all you need is a boost pill and and a tune and you will get ahead of a evo x. put in a bigger turbo and you'll smoke the hell out of one.

 

You wouldn't be lying either if you said its an Evo X with an Evo IX drivetrain. Although its not the same power stock for stock.. an SE, MR and Ralliart on the same turbo (mod for mod) will get about the same power. If anything, the Ralliart will produce more power since its lighter. So technically, you drive an Evo 9.5

Most people can get a Ralliart for $24k, and a turbo swap along with better tires still put you at a much lesser cost than a $35k Evo X.

If you're looking for a car with lesser maintenance cost, a "better" DD, and something to drag race more with lesser issues go Ralliart. The Evo X is a much better car on track hands down due to its Active Yaw Control, but just from driving one you can tell it was made for track only use and not so much drag racing like the Evo IX would be looked at as.

 

Some one would go for the ralliart simply because its the best idea for some one looking to modify there car and of course would like an automatic. you can discuss or argue all you want if you want a 5 speed sure a gsr is a good option but its a slap in the face since evos of the past are 6 speeds, in terms of performance theres not much of a difference and what youre going to pay for is dealer/ manufacturer mark up for the performance you do get. Single scroll turbos are more reliable than a twin. The suspension isnt the best the bbs wheels arent all that attractive and a little to small for the fendor wells. I absolutly love mitsubishi have since i was a teen watching 1st and second gen gsrs/talons and lasers rip it up. But to put it bluntly a fully loaded ralliart (you can get ricaros for it also) still comes in at a base line evo price so for the extra money youd spend on an evo you could be making youre car better than evo. Most people dont want 800 hp even if i had the money to go buy a brand new evo id pickthe ralliart there are less mods for them but there are stilk mods out there and for asimple turbo back.and a tune youll be faster than an evo. So if you want an evo buy one if you. Want a ralliart buy one its personal prefference these are my opinions and how my own self looks at the difference there in no way meant to start an arguement its just the way i look at it
