Im in Raleigh and bought a 09 RR last summer. Since then I have seen a WW at the dealer for service and a OB at Intrex on Wake Forest Rd (he works there). So 2 in almost a year. Maybe I am not looking hard enough.

 

deffinitely not 897, maybe one of the numbers on the 2nd photo which is the passenger side plaque? this is driving me nuts, i really would like to know the detailed numbers, colors, years, SBs

thoughts?

 

i've spotted 3 max in the past 2 years in the ny/nj area.. pretty ridiculous lol

 

Just did a search on AutoTrader, for all new 2010-11 Mitusbishi Lancer, with keyword "Ralliart Sportback" and came up with"

So, guess the Sportbacks are even rarer (106 listings for Ralliart Sedan)

 

Nice to see I'm not the only one who's wondered about RA (specifically Sportback) production numbers.

The only other RA I know here is a guy I autocross with. A dealer 40 miles away has a WW 2010 on the lot with no options. Never seen one on the road. None of the car guys around here even knew they made the RA Sportback.

I've looked from time to time on ebay and I've only ever seen one SB and it didn't have any options. Makes me think those of us RA Sportback owners with Recaros have something pretty rare. I drove 3 hours to get mine, Recaros, HIDs, Nav, I couldn't pass it up.

 

I have never seen another ralliart or ralliart sportback.

It is lonely up here in Michigan, I am getting tired of embarressing Suburus alone (I pull the Evo out for the tougher Subies)...

 

i have seen 3 sedans at the drag strip one black one had his car all chopped up he had an evo turbo and he launched it by nuetral dropping it from 5k . his fastest time was like 12.5. i also seen a sb ra on I94 headed torwards milwaukee and i have also seen a white ra on 894. there is also two sedans that live near me a tarmac black and a rotor glow like mine.

 

I've seen a total of 4 including my own since I bought it. The car is def. rare. I remember taking it to a car show at the Gardner Airport last year and with over 500 cars that showed up I was the only Ralliart.

 

I had mine sent across the country via train (without even seeing it in person). Same for me in that it was fully loaded...no mileage and the only one I could find (new) in the entire country.

 

It was over ayear\after buying mine that i ever saw another RASB (besides mine). This ncludes a East Coast MODwhere i was the ONLY RASB

I 'heard' <10% of all Lancers are Ralliart (and <10% of all RA are Sportback...) True? I don't know - but it sure sounds correct...

 

Here around Vancouver there are more than a few but they are still pretty rare to be spotted. I think I've seen a grand total of 10 on the road since I got the car in October. More people prefer to get an entry level BMW/Mercedes here. You can't drive 3 minutes without seeing a C250 or a 328xi

 

I've only seen about enough to count on one hand (not including the ones at the dealership and such)--and three of those I saw in the same week. I'm determined to find where they hide out though.

 

I see more Bentley Continental GT's than I see Ralliarts on the road.

I see more Tesla Roadsters than I see Sportback Ralliarts on the road.

As far as identifying the manufacturer number, I'm pretty sure that is part of the actual VIN.

 

In 3 years I have seen 2 OBSB RA's and 1 WW Sedan RA on the road while driving roughly a 350 mile radius of Socal. I would say its a rare car

 

all of last year, I've only seen 3 in my area:

- a GG RA with purple rims and do luck trunk
- a stock WW RA
- a TB RA with evo x front bumper
