for a track weapon, no doubt the RS has a newer generation of fancy bits, but on the street where the real day to day usage and comparison is made, there will be no difference large enough to justify the gap in cost.

I actually think it would be more evenly matched by rating a stage 2+ k03 GTI against the std RS. They will be much more closely matched engine wise.
the mountune ST(id say this was the main competitor for a stage 2+ gti) beat the RS in the acceleration tests so id bet the GTI in stage2+ guise could as well.
