how much power?
how much power does a lancer put down after upgrading the Intake, exhaust, pully, headers?????
i already have the intake, and exhaust.. and i plan to get a pully, and headers to tie me over, till i take the plunge for a turbo....

the RA isn't as great as people make it out to be. On the skid pad, the GTS lancer outperformed it, and if you add a turbo to a 5 speed, it will beat the RA. A turbo'd CVT will probably beat the RA since it will be in constant boost and is putting down the same power as the 5speed.

Don't forget, when you turbo your lancer wave goodbye to your warranties. At least with the RA you'll have your turbo WITH your warranties... if that concerns you of course
All wheel drive is cool too, and I think a couple people said in the RA forums that they're going to offer manual 5 or 6 speeds for the RA as well (they would be dumb not to IMO).

I just thought I'd mention it, I know there are some people that do care about warranties. Hence why I said "If that concerns you, of course". Also, not ALL "performance parts" will totally void your warranty like a turbo kit would. 
The article that says there may be a 5 or 6 speed M/T.

Even if that doesn't happen with the initial release, it doesn't mean it wont in the future.

Here's a few things to consider.
1. Turboing a car that didn't come from the factory turboed can be very difficult in the sense that issues you wouldn't normally think about become actual issues. Cooling is an obvious example, oil supply is another. How the engine will handle the power and reliability is a concern. If this is your daily driver, it's going to be beat on. You can say that you won't race it but in many ways it would be better off if you did. If you do track racing you only launch once if you launch at all,daily driving you could do it at every stop light. If you're racing you're usually shifting nice and the car is moving all the time meaning it's constantly getting air. During your day to day driving you're going to stop and maybe get stuck in traffic.
2. Comparing a turboed GTS to a Ralliart is apples against oranges. The Ralliart has to meet emissions, be reliable and quiet, a turboed GTS just needs to run. From a stop, the Ralliart will likely win because of the AWD. A high hp FWD car is also a pain to drive.
