Turbo Ralliat Test Drive.... hold on to your *****
Just one of the many perks of living in LA and working at Road Race, is being able to drive some of the shop cars....
So a few days ago I took a drive to pick up some parts, Just incase anyone has wondered I've also drove the Evo's here so I know what fast is.
but anyways, The turbo on the ralliart really takes advantage of the Mivec. There was virtually no turbo lag! It rips through each gear, the car never stops pulling! Compared to my buddies SRT-4... um well I guess thats not a fair comparison. compared to the Robs EVO (not the race Evo) its pretty damn close.... so anyways, guys hold on to your ***** and girls, hold on to whatever you got. Actually keep both hands on the steering cause the wheel spin in first and second is crazy!!!

haha, i got a ride in it aswell ( thank's again rob 
), and your right the wheel spin thru 1st and 2nd is crazy, but those toyo's tire's that they use GRIP LIKE NO OTHER. It just pulls and pulls and throw's you in the seat. Rob was taking turns and wasnt even downshifting and it still PULLED! Lag?... haha, funny statement, turbo kicks in early and it holds. Did he take you for a drive or did you drive it yourself? MIVEC work's wonders on it, after 3.5k boost is crazy!!!
Turbo RA w/ MIVEC = Car Crack!

I've also had a ride in that lil ****er.
evo/eclipse == lag
RA Lancer != lag, woohoo...
is it faster? haven't seen it with my own eyes yet, but definately a potential competitor. mind you, this is with a BIG 16G. can anyone imagine if they swapped for an Evo III 16G and raised boost?
