Nope, let them think it's an Evo.

I had someone call my gf's ES an Evo. Rolled my eyes and drove off.

But an Evo is a Lancer too....

I just say it's a RalliArt. My tag actually says RalliArt, and people STILL say "Awesome Evo". I even had one guy at the sunoco get even more specific and say "Nice MR"..lol

Same. I stopped correcting people because it happened a lot. Nobody has the time to explain the differences. And when you say ralliart people look at you like you're from another world.

I just say..."thanks" now- and continue to believe that the person is ignorant of current Mitsu models.

At least they didnt call your RA a prancer then you'd be pissed.
better to be pissed off then piss on.

This is why I have Ralliart logo on my Lancer from every angle of the car.

I hate it that everyone and their mother tries to race me. I simply point to my SCCA sticker and ask them to meet me at the track.

I had this newer civic Si lowered with loud exhaust catch up to me & was reving at me (I ignored him drove normally) & took off at the light (I ignored him drove normally) & he came to almost complete stop to clear the train track going over it at an angle. I went over the track at normal speed limit past the civic & I smiled at him & gave him a thumbsup. (He was sad ) He didnt rev at me after that.

Track is the best place to let loose.
Let em know RA is no turtle.
