Galant Ralliart? maybe next time

On my way into work this morning, I was introduced to one of these. Never heard of it before. A nice clean, black specimen with nice aftermarket spoke style billet rims.
He decided that he wanted to play after I showed him my displeasure of him pulling out in front of me, riding his bumper a few miles. Once we got out onto the 2 lane highway, he started brake checking for me to get along side. I didn't go for it since it's the last Friday of the month , which the man likes, and I was running late as it was. I gave him a peace sign as he turned off into a sub-division (one that sheriffs never go into alone) and drove on, passing a deputy 2mi down the road.

Anybody with 1st hand knowledge on these? (yes I googled it, looks interesting)

I knew that had a fancier Eclipse out but didn't know they had a Ralliart Galant...

258hp... might have something to it... maybe.

Galants aren't supposed to slalom at 69 mph. They don't run the quarter mile in 14.4 seconds at 98.5 mph and can't do Motor Trend's figure-eight in 25.7 seconds. And no Galant behaves like an Evo.

But this one does. Built in-house at Mitsubishi Research and Design America, the Galant Ralliart Concept was still just a sketch six months before making its debut at the SEMA aftermarket trade show in Las Vegas. This is no turntable toy, however; it's a true factory tuner.

Might have been an interesting run.....

Kudos on not taking the bait. A lesser man would have failed right there.

Best to live to fight another day...

I probably would have been a lesser man...
And maybe had another ticket to add to my collection.
