I was intrigued because if it had all wheel drive, etc. It could feasably be an EVO 9
(if they adopted the same bodystyle..)

I like it!

The TurboTech Ralliart is running upgraded internals (forged pistons and rods). The RRM Ralliart is running stock internals (they figure they're reliable up to around 15 psi)

After looking at the new Ralliart shots..cars that have and don't have"Evo" mods being unimportant..

It is really smooth and rounded out. GREAT styling.

It really should be the styling of the new EVO 9 IMO.

Seriously, just study it and you will see how "evolved" it looks..it doesn't try to hard. Somebody photochop some EVO 8 fender flares and you will see what I mean..

I like it a lot! I wish the Evo looked more like it!!

I don't see an LSD in the mix...

There's even a Ralliart rally car that's racing up in Canada which will soon have its turbo. There are some pics around here somewhere.

The TurboTech Ralliart down in PR is friggin' SWEET!! 508hp at the wheels. I hear he's having some serious traction issues, even with a LSD.
In Canada, I believe there is some government or insurance problem with cars that have FMIC! Therefore, the STI with the TMIC is fine, but the Evo with FMIC is not. Therefore, Canada will not likely see the Evo...ever if it continues with the FMIC. That's the story alledgedly.

Now as far as Rally Cars...There's no injunction on vehicles specifically for racing purposes, you just can't drive them on the street. Imagine my shock and awe last winter when I was driving down a snowy street when a big flatbed goes through the intersection and parked on it were Canadian owned Evo IV and V's in full rally gear and deco driving to a rally stage.
