'05 2.5RS vs. GC8
For those of you "in-the-know", would a new 2.5RS, with similar mods, keep up with a GC8 on the autox track? I believe the new RS's are heavier, but are there any other changes that might make the new RS a "dog" compared to it's older brother? Anyone know peeps with modded new RS's?

Despite the stiffer chassis, I would think that there are no real upgrades that would set apart the newer RS to the GC8/GM6 style. You're right, russ...the newer RS is heavier (why do you think the STi had a 300hp motor???

It may be possible...but then again...Jason and I have upgraded brakes, suspension and tires. If you plan to do those kinds of modifications, I don't see why you couldn't be like me and Jay. LOL
