is mitsubishi lancer ralliart 2009 a downgrade?

[MS3077]

I would change it I was beaten by wrx with turbo upgrade and exhaust....Its way cheaper than sti , and fast as helll

That was most likely due to the turbo upgrade and not the hood scoop.

yea a hood scoop for a tmic is rice

You do realize that the cowl venting on the speed 3 is just as efficient as the scoop on a subi, and has the benefit of not adding further drag at higher speeds right?

Yeah, but WRXs grenade transmissions at ~300whp, expecially the 2.5 liter models. An STi or performance gear upgrade is gonna run you 3-7 grand, so that price gap just got a lot smaller. Trust me, I used to own a WRX and I work at a performance shop that does 80% of our sales in WRX/STi parts.

I got rid of my WRX because of the trans.

I guess it depends on what you want. Yes it's a bit down on power in rally-art guise, but from what I read it's pretty much a slightly toned down Evo, and you're getting AWD. Though from what I read it might be a bit more expensive than the MS3.

Guess you'll just have to drive it and find out if you really want to change.

Good luck!

It's a nice car, but I won't consider getting one unless Mitsu offered a nice hatchback.

they will be, the 5 door version will be dropping about 6 to 8 months after the sedan breaks ground.

I should've said, "a good looking hatchback". ^_^;;

I haven't seen the new Evo hatch, but I know the old Evos
were more like long station wagons.
