Ralliart Lancer- Not what some people expected

Here ya go, ralliart Lancer just debuted at Chicago:

Looks like crap still. 160hp is ok, but it does have VVT and 2.4l so it would be a good engine for further modification... However, only FWD...

looks like a sunfire (new front fascia)

Why not just buy an old mirage and an old eclipse RS-X, then just throw the drivetrain at the mirage.. whalla, instant Evo II.. and much more fun than a FWD Lancer (I'm sure it's not that easy, but you get my meaning).

Well, they said the ralliart does share some evo suspension parts... so perhaps it wont be THAT bad

Now why can't they make it 4wd to compete with the RS?

apparently, this car actually isn't that bad.

That's fine and dandy, but he's still going to have to chain up during a snow storm in CA.

blah, I've driven FWD in a snow storm in Canada

AWD would be nice, though. Especially for the hills.

I'm sure it won't be AS good in the snow as the Impreza, but some snow tires oughta allow it to live in the snowier areas. The car appears to do pretty well in cornering.

Wow... this thread IS old :O heh... reviving old threads again I am.
