help me out guys. its my ex's new bfs car. just got it two days ago and it two days ago and its a lancer rally sport or rs version, just under the evo. he says it has 160. i got an lx and its 115. both are stick. obviously he beat me and i wasn't really pushing it at all cuz it was raining and we were doing a rolling start and plus they beeped so i had to anticipate when they were gonna go. doesn't seem like he's a great driver or nothing tho and i got a kit, 17's, and system. any chance im guessing or not really. need some nitrous or turbo or something? i got a ss, catback, and intake.

well im not trying to get her back, its cool if she likes him now. we were like best friends for a few yrs and still are even tho she dumped me, or rather i dumped her first and then she did. but yea... anyways, her boy just got the car two days ago and wants to race it, lol. i guess he forgot to wait 500 miles or what not. but yea its the rallyart or something like that. it had a badge on the back. its a 2.4l i believe he said. and he said its got 160hp. its the lancer "rs" just below the evo. It was stick and my cars stick but i only got 115hp. i got intake, catback, and ss tho. but kit and rims add weight. i wasn't pushing it cuz it was raining and i kno not to drive crazy but carefully in the rain. i think i did pretty good considering he cant drive well i believe. but yea... i think its 160. any thoughts

Um... Edmunds.com claims it to have 162 hp @ 5750 rpm, and 162 ft-lbs of torque @ 4000 rpm. The curb weight is 2843 lbs.

I don't think those numbers are in your favor. Sucks, cause I don't like those lancers; it would be nice if we could add them to our kill lists.

It's called a Lancer Ralliart.
162hp 162tq.
motortrend stated a 14.9 in the 1/4mile.
this sounds absurd, but people on the forums have showed time slips in the 15.2 range.

unless you have turbo, or a swap, you'll lose.
this car can eat up civic si's.
a skilled driver in a ralliart, could probably keep up or even beat a poor driver in an rsx type-s.

its gotta suck, cuz its your ex's new bf.
sorry man.

I say that you don't race him anymore. His car is faster than yours, and it makes you look bad racing your girlfriend's new boyfriend, especially when you are losing to him.

For a moment, I was thinking, someone actually got their hands on an Evolution RS? Then I was thinkin u had no chance. But you said.... it's the one below Evo, so...
Isnt it a bit harsh on the esteem to be beat in 2 areas?

yea i know i was thinking what the hell.... RS thats a jap spec evo.... i guess hes means the ralliart edition which is styled after the US EVO 8 which like was quoted before is a quick little punk

 
Rep Power: 315

what i found stupid was he paid 24k for it. i was like uhh, thats a lot just for 160hp

race him and if you lose then gain back your pride from beating his ***.

they claimed 14.9 in that one mag which was a totally rigged. The other cars they had running were doing sub par times of 14.3-15.6 and then they whip out a 14.9 in the ralliart. Totally fixed and screwed up...those mags dont know what they're doing.

Most people are running times in the mid 15's stock because the tires suck ***. i'd say average time around for the average driver is 15.6

I've heard stories of celicas having a hard time beating them so I don't think a civic would stand much of a chance.

driver won't make a difference in this one. he should take you easily

 
Rep Power: 0

yeah, if i were you get nitrous and if you still can't beat him just beat the **** out of him. you have to regain your pride some how. lol.

those things have a s**tload of torque. I would say you need a 50 shot to take him.

i've cruised the evolutionm boards more than once and like i said...15.2 is the BEST i've heard of. Average is 15.5-15.6. Granted thats to fast for a lighly modded 7thgen...its not a mile off.
They have good torque but the tires suck and they tend to loose traction on launches. Also they're heavier by a bit....2900 pounds i think. So 500 pounds heavier than a base DX and 350 heavier than an EX. A 50 shot would own him large, even if he is a good driver.

you're probably gonna have to spend too much money to beat him.

a beat down would cost nothing.

just stick to the base model lancers those things are slow as hell hahaah

how would he stick to a base model lancer???

he wants to beat his x-gf new bf's Lancer Ralliart.

 
Rep Power: 0

ohh ya wanna beat that then get some nitrous or get booosted either that or you can just put a few holes in his tires before the race....

Switch to stock rims, take out your speaker system and take him from a stop. If he is a pretty bad driver he will spin his tires and possibly lose. There is always some hope.
