And besides that complaining about not being able to bounce a rev limiter is like saying u were disappointed because it wouldn't allow u to destroy the car. I mean honestly come on......if you wanna bounce your rev limiter go back to the honda forums because thats the cool thing to do there. But hey thats just my opinion.
Taking turns in manual mode sometimes has the need to avoid an upshift. I don't exactly want to bang the limiter but if I hold the revs near redline while taking a hard turn I want to tell it when to grab the next gear.

The SST specifically addressed this issue by sending the signal to the SST on hard G forces to avoid up shifting when it would upset the car's balance. The Jetta I drove would upshift in the middle of a hard turn nearly 1000rpm from redline if you stopped flooring the throttle.

I'm done discussing this however. Thanks for assuming I'm an idiot wanting to bang the limiter to show off or something.

To end the argument, the ralliart has no use for a manual. The market is not in the performance minded consumer. Look at the commercials... It's for soccer moms who simply want a little more power out of there family car. So why would soccer mom want a stick? Performance minded consumers are Evo. They font need to make a stick ralliart. It's not a performance model.

for our market, i'd think anybody who would want a AWD GTS would just step up to the Ralliart. the price difference wouldnt be all that much, and you get a turbo engine too.
what is the price of Lancer with 4WD in Japan? and wanted to known whether it is available in rear wheel drive.

I wouldnt say its not a performance model. It's not as much of a performance model as an Evo, but its still performance based.

The reason there isn't a 5 speed available on the RA is because it takes time and money to make it. Why would they spend time and money doing it if only a small percentage of people actually drive stick, with even a lower percentage buying the car.

Last I checked, this was an "AWD Lancer GTS" thread.
WTF happened to the original topic?!?!

(and how haven't the moderators sniffed this out after a month of the same old "stick vs. SST" OT crap?!)

It's going to be called an SE and it will have a 2.4l. So for those that really wanted a Ralliart with a manual can just turbocharge the SE when it comes out.

The prize of Lancer with 4WD in Japan is $19,600 and I don't think it is available in rear wheel drive
