oh course its not the same engine. First of all, that one is an INVEC and US RA is MIVEC. Second of all, one is a 1.8L and the other is 2.4L. Then comes to the compression ratio, 10:1 vs 9:1. One is DOHC and other one is SOHC. Then comes to the gas prices (thanks to the middle east ppl for not pumping more gas and raising the price), the GDI one uses Unlead Premium while the US RA uses Unlead Regular. You can save alot in gas in a year with the US Spec RA. They both exert almost same amount of hp. Other than that, its not much difference (except they get Recaro Seats). Its almost like a mini-evo (but evo is awd). Good car none-of-the-less.

But I look at an 04 RA and an 03 OZ and I really think they are cars from different companies. Front ends, back ends are so different.

btw, 04 lancers has that pontiac wannabe nose (no offense to the RA owner) and the 03 lancers have that bmw wannabe grill. but i do like the 04 rear bumper better, it doesnt stick out that much, but i dont like the license plate location on the rear.

There is even a mag that tested an OZ to be at 16.6 in the 1/4. But I have a hard time believing that. Even that 16.8 is a little far fetched, but not if they test it at 100 ft. above SL, and 70f outside. I am just stating what I read, and what is physically obvious.

I don't have an 88 Camaro...anymore and the mullet thing is so old. The one thing I did like about the Camaro was RWD Hated the sqeaks and rattles. Crappy TBI engine ect. Worst car I have ever owned.
I saw a Motor Week and they got a Sportback 8.0 to 60mph and 16.0 in the 1/4.
It not alot heavier then the sedan.
Looking at 0-100mph the Ralliart (sedan 5 speed) did it in about 19 sec and the OZ took 28!
I gotta have some high speed pull.
And ozrmrlancer I am glad you like your car. Your very right that as long as its enough for you, its good enough. Very true.
I think I would buy the car I like better, even if its a tad slower then a competitor.
Car and Driver summed it up best, " The Ralliart was what the OZ should have been" And now you have lots of choice
