However the k04 VAG's are the better overall cars.

As standard maybe, and only if you aren't too concerned about interior quality and feel.

Most of the Stock RS's are touching £27-£28k and for that you can buy a nearly new ED30/Pirelli and give it £8k of mods.

Yes, I know you can modify the RS too, but you'll still be limited by the cylinder liners that limit the power, plus you are adding onto the initial outlay too.

£8k of mods will give you:-

Fully adjustable suspension - £1650
Arb's                                     -£400
Remap                                  - £600
Turbo-back exhaust              - £1100
FMIC                                     - £700
Intake                                   - £400
HPFP                                     - £400
Uprated DV                           - £150
Quaife                                   - £1500
Brake upgrade                      - £600
WALK                                    - £200
Dogbone insert                     - £40

I parked next to one recently and took some pics. I was surprised at the poor quality of details - Very plasticky but cheap looking plastics. I was also surprised by how big a car the RS is.

Hurdy:
It's also 100kg heavier!

RS = 300bhp and 1467kg = 204.5bhp/tonne

Modded GTI = 250bhp and 1350kg = 185bhp/tonne

Phil Mc (Steve's) stage 1 ED30 = 278bhp - 1380kg = 201.5bhp/tonne

Cant agree more, it does look aggressive but it's just far too chavvy for my liking. Also come to my senses and selling the Vauxhall I bought last week  :ashamed:

Just need the damn V5 to land on the door mat and it can go  :party:

matsu:
heard its an awesome car to drive in a mad scary way,my mate just went for the top end scooby after test driving both extensively but its just too lairy and boy racer looking for me.
and when put next to RR's it looks very cheap and "put together"
i wouldnt say no if it were given to me but i,ll stick to what we got!

and RR....... do love that car of urs!!
