This review always bothered me. Seems a little biased. Yes maybe the MR is faster on that Track. If you have ever been on it this track is very bumpy. The RS has stiffer shocks. not good for bumpy roads. If you run the same test on a smooth track like the ones the have in Japan I think the RS should be faster. The six speed will be a advantage on a larger track plus the wing will help keep the MR stable.

A RS with a wing and coil-overs would be the ticket on the track. That can be done in the future at any time. Buy a RS and you can look foward to improving it down the road if you get the itch!

I care less about the track and more about 0-??. 0-100, The RS is almost a FULL second faster than the 8, and half a second faster than the MR. That is a SERIOUS difference in acceleration you cand feel. Have fun with your power windows boys; I'll take the faster car!

Yep got it shipped across with Dependable Auto Shippers, even with shipping I still saved $$$$ compared to the local dealer.
