    Those are some properly respectable numbers for the RS

    I don't know about you, but with the performance so close with the RS and Rav4, I'd just pick a Rav4..

    Holy carp the GT2's weight distribution.

    And yeah, very impressive numbers for a now 40-year-old car! Still almost as quick as a standard Cayman.

    They did throw some large radiators and oil coolers up there...that's enough

    BTW I see the 1990 Turbo had 38.7/61.3
