Well, the thing was that I was thinking about an SVT Focus as my next ride (in four years, GAHDDAMN!), but, if this thing is the mustard for handling, and power, I think I'll have less worries about durability from the diamond star than the blue oval.

I doubt that Ralliart is doing the Tuning for real. I mean, call me cynical, but, since the Evos got moved from hand-modification to a "slow assembly line", I don't think Ralliart exists any more beyond a logo and parts numbers. Kinda like Santa Claus.
KYB makes the current ralliart shocks....just painted white and with a ralliart emb. on them. I WANT it to look exactly like the lancer now...maybe with a couple cosmetic things (ground effects)... I don't want it to look like the evo8...if it does we'll still get that stereo type of having the watered down evo...I'd rather have the beefed up lancer.
Hopefully it looks like this minus the wagon part...interior is NICE!!!

I would put money down to say that it won't be 200hp...it will be more like 160-170...it will still compete very well with the SVT, MSP, sentra, and SI....I don't think that would be wise of mitsu to make it 200hp...with the evo only being 71 more hp more than that. Just my 2 cents......all the mags were sayin 160-170 too.

with the specs of their recommended modifications. I concur it's not directly RalliArt tuned but still in basis tuned by them.

i was just wondering if i would be able to put that engine in an oz? and if i could would anyone be able to give a guess on the price? oh and do you think it would be all wheel drive?
