Same power etc, its just with the Vrx you get front/side/ rear skirts and some 17's. They have the same rear wing too.

Not all of them. Some Sports came with a different wing..
Also, VRX has a different muffler tip. The one on the Sports droops down.

In terms of engine, exhaust, seat trim, interior kit etc, they're identical. The only difference is the TJ VRX had a body kit, 17 inch wheels (Sports had 16s), and a chrome exhaust tip. The VR-X definitely looks better, but the Sports is about 30kg lighter (no body kit) with the same engine (ie. should go and handle a tiny bit better).
The Ralliarts were a limited run (500 cars or so) built in 2002, and first registered mid '02 to mid '03. There have been none since, and I believe that there are no plans for a Ralliart at this stage on the next vehicle (Galant?).

The TJ Series 1 Sports and VRX had the same 16" wheels. The Series 2 VRX had 17". Up until July '01 the Sports and VRX had the same spoiler. From July '01 the Sports came with a lower profile MOYA spoiler.
series 2 VRX also comes with door mount tweeters, climate control and digital odo and trip computer.

Difference with the two cars is that the VRX had a body kit, Then when the series 2 came they got the 17's as well and a rear wing change, They have a slightly different steering wheel also, But the tweeters, climate control etc are all the same, My Sports had the tweeters, has the climate control passenger airbag etc.
The kit adds 30KG to a VRX, but they do look nice with it.
Much of a muchness in both cars

Or even better, chuck on your own bodykit. At least if you start with the Sports you can choose you own bodykit and it will cost pretty much the same as buying a VRX with the bodykit they give u. Both are really good cars. I suppose having a VRX allow you to call it a VRX which more people are familiar with. Sports just sounds like a cheap effort to make the magna sporty or something. I'd get a sports, put a different bodykit on it and rebadge to an SRX just to be different.

The VR-X also has 'VR-X' embroidered into the front seats, and VR-X letters on the speedo (or is it the tacho? Runs outside to check....), but the best thing about a VR-X....it sells for more than a sports generally. Like any car, the more exclusive, the more money it commands on resale.
Did I say resale and Magna in the same sentance ?? I must be loosing it :bowrofl:

Nah,the Wing on the VR-X's is more a Smooth Round shape where as the Sports are more of a Boxier looking shape,but basically have the same "Look" as a VR-X Spoiler,just boxier round the edge of each sides
Correct me if i'm wrong:cool:

It doesn't matter: you still get the brake package off the exec, and it cost the same to turbocharge either vehicle. :rant:

That brake package is pretty poor I must admit. :rant:
