From the "spy" pics it looks like the "ralliart" will probably be front wheel drive, its problably just a GTS with this supposed turbo kit as an option already installed

 

wheres these pics at?

 

ive seen a bunch of pics of it somewhere online. it looks like a GTS with different bumpers because it had an intercooler and dual exhaust. it was not the evo it didn't have any gray parts. just a gts bumper with 2 cutouts. i think it might of been awd too but im not sure.

 

Of course it may still be speculation, but in the November issue of Sport Compact Car, there are some pics(those old gas station pics of the silver "Ralliart") they simply stated there is no rear differential, making it front wheel drive, to make it a competitior for Mazdaspeed3

 

o yeah I remeber those, maybe your right on this being that Turbo Kit? We will have to wait and see

 

well it is possible, you just need to use ur imagination....this kid from ohio is in the process of doing it as i type....should be different for sure, when complete and next time i go out there ill snap some pics

 

hes int the process of making it rear wheel drive???? What?

 

well of course anything is posible with the right cashflow, he might as well get the stuff needed to make it AWD while he's at it, does the 4g63 even bolt up to our 5 speed tranny or does he have the 4g63 tranny with the engine already???

 

Alright guys I talked to my salesman today face to face and told me when the evo x is droped the option for the 08 lancer gts turbo will be out also. He also told me it is going to be the turbo all the applications and some suspension work. I asked him what will the cost be around he said he dont know but from 5-8 thousand.So i then asked him but why would they do that if there tryin to push the evo sales. He looked at me weird he said i dont understand the evo is gonna sell anyway because its a evo and mitsubishi will still make alot of money pushing out these turbo kits for the lancer gts. So know that i understand all the aspects there should be no more well im going to make up a excuss why mitsu wouldnt do this or that. Listen all negative guys that have been making up excusses on this post. mitsubishi is a multibillion dollar a year industry it dont matter what you say or why. mitsubishi is going to do this this should be the end. Know for all us that are excited i know i sure am be happy and wait till in comes out in a couple months thanks guys and thanks mitsubishi

 

so its coming out? when?

 

so if it doesn't come out dont be suprised to have a few dozen guys waiting at your door. lol jk

 

+1,000 ^ lol

 

So that means exhaust, a tune(maybe reflash??), and engine dampers, hopefully somehow they drop the CR as well. If all of that required stuff is included in that price, it should be worth it even if it only brings it to the 210-220hp range.
Although I see them doing the pricing in "Stages" this should be interesting.......

 

yep!

 

While I would be the first one to line up for this upgrade, I'm just keeping it as wishful thinking right now. There was that strange autoweek clipping and a few reported rumors from salesman but I don't know... Just a gut feeling.
