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?

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

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.

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

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?

True.

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

It is important that the world out there understands the mission of the RS 4.0. This is purely a motorsports project that we came up with ourselves, not sales department.

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.
