Thanks for posting. A good read indeed.

Great stuff Pete. And a nice in-your-face to all the naysayers that said a 4.0 would never happen; would never have 500hp; or that the car is too heavy. Love it.

I love the car
not sure I think centerlocks are great but I am sure I would get over it

Thanks Pete.

+1, thanks

I think I will stick with my RS, no sense in spending 50K more

Re: Candid Comments on the RS 4.0 From Andreas Preuninger. Exclusive Info!
 

50K is a bargain. If I had the money to get one at MSRP I would.

Maybe, hopefully I will have enough money in a few years to bridge the gap between 3.8 and 4.0....

::-/...I want one, but, I'm a patient man. At least, that's what I have to keep reminding myself :ROFL!:

Very interesting and I'm glad I read it. Thank you for posting.

Well he said it himself, perfect car for the bubble wrappers. Comparable to 2.7 RS

Re: Candid Comments on the RS 4.0 From Andreas Preuninger. Exclusive Info!
 

Great post!

And for the record, I would lurve to buy a 4.0. I think it'll be amazing! It's just hard to justify it...

Re: Candid Comments on the RS 4.0 From Andreas Preuninger. Exclusive Info!
 

True but how many bubble-wrapped 2.7 RS's do you see floating around. Most ended getting properly driven.

Re: Candid Comments on the RS 4.0 From Andreas Preuninger. Exclusive Info!
 

I don't see many RS2.7s at events, and may I do but don't recognize them; do you guys see them often enough?

Re: Candid Comments on the RS 4.0 From Andreas Preuninger. Exclusive Info!
 

What do you mean "it's hard to justify it"? You just did "justify it", you said it was amazing :D

I only see the ones sitting in warehouses or garages being sold back and forth for big money

Re: Candid Comments on the RS 4.0 From Andreas Preuninger. Exclusive Info!
 

Just reviewing specs between 3.8 and 4.0 RS. Didn't realize how much wider the powerband is on the new 4.0.

3.8 RS: HP-450@7900; TQ-317@6750 Powerband: 1150 RPM
4.0 RS: HP-500@8250; TQ-339@5750 Powerband: 2500 RPM

Should yield a car that's much easier to drive on the street and drive quickly on the track. Pretty impressive stuff.

Nizer, is that you ;)

Can't we all just keep the same names across the forums?!
I confuse easily...

Re: Candid Comments on the RS 4.0 From Andreas Preuninger. Exclusive Info!
 

Trying to bring a fresh approach here: only post if I have something useful or interesting. Hence the "new" identity. I can always PM you a reminder each time I post if that helps.

P.S. Was this post useful?

I am only trying to get my post count up.

Re: Candid Comments on the RS 4.0 From Andreas Preuninger. Exclusive Info!
 

True.

But that leaves the wife and child out of the equation. :beatinghead:

How many times has he used this line before? It seems that he is more of a salesperson than engineer. i.e., if you have to point something out, then the statement is false.
