I don't think you have many options out there, if any. You might be able to get a custom set made but it would cost a small fortune.

I think the numbers will be in the MS3's favor. It's very hard to take on a factory turbocharged car with a NA car with an aftermarket kit. All he has to do is get a tune and suddenly he's 50 HP ahead again.

Do you already have an RRM kit or do you plan on buying one?

I'm sorry but 250 won't be enough to even beat it, maybe hang not even. The MS3 has 280 tq from the factory.

Plus it has an LSD, a six speed transmission and I'm sure other advantages I'm not remembering.

Well that's crank... I think if he can get some good tires, a lsd, and about 260-275whp he may be able to do it...

Thats just about it, 6 speed and LSD. It only produces 230 in first and second but thats plenty at the wheels from a dig. If you guys were to race from a 40 punch or so you probably won't win.

Don't forget you're assuming the MS3 is stock, all the guy has to do is get a tune and it's game over. Moreover, if I was the MS3 driver, I wouldn't give a crap if someone with a fully built lancer beat my stock car.
