One factor that is getting overlooked is that 3/4 cars are pretty homley. Ralliart is miles ahead for looks which will be a determining factor for many alone.

The car is already in the hands of tuning shops and in one thread I remember TD04 being mentioned. I don't think it was confirmed though but I wouldn't be surprised. Logically it can't be a 16G since that would be the same turbo as an Evo thus it is likely a 13G or 13T.

Well it should be noted that the ralliart will be the best daily driver for people that live in northern states or Canada in the winter as the EVO IX's AWD system is easily the best for slippery roads and snow.

While the WRX was quicker to 60, look at what had to be done to achieve that feat. Who's going to launch their WRX at every stoplight? The SST and small turbo/intercooler makes this fat boat responsive and quick for everyday driving.
I noticed that the final drive for the RA is 4.0 versus 4.6 for the EVO, so it *could have been* even quicker to 60...at the expense of gas mileage, noise, and highway cruising.

They power-braked the Lancer. Says it right in the sidebar. Presumably they launched all four cars as hard as conditions, tires, and testicular fortitude would allow.
