Talking Willow Springs - Friday 12/9

My brother has an Audi S4 and he was out at Willow Springs last Friday. He said the EVO's were awesome. However, there was some other pictures of a Rally Eclipse, that is what he called it anyway. But here they are, looks like Mitsubishi found another use for the 4G63.

i think it's basically a show/concept car. millen motorsports, rre and a couple other cali shops put it together for mitsu. full evo engine/drive transplant w/some other mitsu parts. i bet it's still heavy though.

I believe that's the Ralliart Eclipse tuned by John Mueller and Road Race Chassis. They took it out to Streets of Willow on 12/9.

Say, is your brother's S4 a wagon? I was at the event (first one with my Evo!) and I was talking to a guy in my run group with a really nice S4 wagon. That car had some real punch on the straights!

By the way, the Ralliart Eclipse was there being driven by a journalist from Automobile magazine. It was really cool seeing it on the track!

Yes, my brother had the S4 wagon. he has a lot of work done to it, and on the straights it is a monster. he has the exhaust, intercoolers, turbers and all of the support hardware upgraded RS4 stuff. he really enjoys driving it and participating in the fun. we used to spend some time at the road atlanta track, in GA. He just moved out to the west coast. i have an 03 evo...

Our Muellerized racing team set up and ran the car for Mitsubishi, and there should be detailed story about the Ralliart Eclipse in an upcoming issue of Automobile magazine.

I will let Automobile magazine disclose the performance of the car, but I can say that they were excited about how well the car works, especially for a concept car.
