CRS Rally School and Mistubishi Lancer Comparison Test

The Smoking Tire attends the California Rally Series' School in Ridgecrest, CA, to learn how to compete in Rally America and California Rally Series Events (hint, hint). While there, we take the opportunity to find out if the Lancer Ralliart is worth the extra money over the Lancer GTS by flogging them in the dirt.

Hey matt im getting my licence in a few months and ive saved up a little more than 10k and my dads gona match it so i got to 20-22k to work with and was wondering if a new 2010 base model gti or a 09 mazdaspeed3 would be better ?? im not set on anything so if youve got any other ideas let me know. thx.

I'd buy a new GTI over a used MS3, but I'd rather get a Mazda MX-5 or any number of used cars for that kind of money, here's a list of stuff you can get for $20k

E39 M5

C5 Corvette

E46 M3

B5 S4

05-06 Saleen Mustang S281E

E30 M3

06-07 WRX STI

06-07 Evo XIII/IV

Is that a Camry at 9:14?!

I was wondering if rallycross could be done in "any car", and apparently it can!

[TheSmokingTire]

yes it is, and yes it can. Having said that, you want a car with some ground clearance at the very least.

O.O he was on Bullrun this season. Why is the Charger always the one in the Black Shine commercials?

[TheSmokingTire]

beacuse it was available on the day they shot the commercials.....

[rollog60]

There were two Evos running that weekend, an 8 and a 10. They kick ass on dirt.

[nikothecrazygreek]

for the evo hatch the best is tarmac mode because it is more rear wheel bias, although nice job drifting a fwd bias car

[fatsubie]

Evo hatch is so ugly.. it looks like a wagon!!!

[SuperNick134]

DORIFTO!!

[blackdogpaintball]

shredded the paint on the ralliart right by the wheels

[Enpatsu393]

I have a lancer GTS and the manual transmission is no problem.. what kind of comparison is this......

[ragezee]

@TheSmokingTire what do u think is the fastest civic si, mazda speed3, or wrx and which one would u pick out of the three try to get back to me, thanks

[ELjarhead2]

When are the ridgecrest rally classes?

[heephstan]

@TheSmokingTire Im sorry buy you guys can get an e39 M5 for 20k? I just bought a second hand '94 mx-5 for 6k, and that was quite a bargain... Damn I have to get myself to the states!

Keep up the good work with the show!

With regards from the netherlands,

Stephan.
