I wonder how a remapped RS would fair, would have too much power and just spin?
Im not suprised a KO4 is quicker, they push out 330bhp dont they? The RS 'only' has 300.
Hurdy:
A remapped RS gets 340bhp and 397lbft straight off. It would be a close call between the two when both remapped as the ED30 is around 100kg lighter. Give the ED30 a DSG and I'd suspect thaat the ED30 would still be the quicker point to point car. :wink:

In top spec on the standard turbo the RS should see 375hp according to pumaspeed. The RS will make quite a bit more torque though than a top spec k04 car but its still heavier so it will be interesting to see how things turn out. One of my mates is gonna build his RS up to top spec but it will be a while still as it only has 500 odd miles on the clock.
Just checked the rs spec and it will kick out 440lbft/596nm of torque. Highest torque figure I have evr come across on a k04 is 507nm.
Will the extra 80lbft of torque propple the RS infront? I think it just might, time to put mine on a diet maybe lol, loose another 100kgs

didn't the rs get beat by the renault megane r26r on topgear? that seems like the more fun car to drive from what they are saying.....
