Did anyone check out the Endeavor Ralliart? They put the Mivec heads on the 3.8l. More power, torque and cool styling.

Supposedly it's coming and if it is I am giving my current Endeavor to My mother and will be the first one there to buy it. I love it except if you notice the pictures I am not happy that the eliminate the A-pillar glass for a mirror.

I own a MS- too bad they ddin't make the MIVEC heads for the 3.0l instead of making the 3.8l engine- I personally like the smoothness and free revving 3.0l.

As far as i know, the Ralliart Endeavor and Galant Concepts are basically for show. They are used to market the vehicle to show an aggressive side to the mass produced version. I wouldn't hold my breath if you plan on waiting for one to come to a showroom for purchase (though it can happen). The 3.8 is simply a bored and stroked 3.0 engine. The addition of variable valve timing, lift, and duration only ADDS to the high RPM breathing ability of the engine without sacrificing low end torque (which the 3.8 will have more of due to it's larger displacement). You'll love the smooth power output of any variable valve timed engine which never runs out of breath from idle all the way to redline. You want to try this engine on for size? The 2006 Eclipse will be in a showroom near you this summer sporting this beast of an engine. Take it out for a spin ;D Joel, CA

I can't agree more, joel. I definetely prefer the 3.0 over the 3.5. The engine is similar in feel and eagerness to rev as the 3.0 from Toyota, although I think even better. I didn't figure Mits would actually make the two Ralliart vehicles- decreasing sales/ interest in the brand. Is the 3.0 in the Monty the same as that in the MS?
