I'm trying not to fool myself into thinking the RS is going to sit way above anything else but, my feelings are after driving a 300bhp ST with no suspention or brake upgrades is that the RS will be very special.
I would love to own a 4WD monster that can power oversteer out of tight corners, I beleive to have this kind of power coupled with 4WD requires silly service intervals (that cost a small fortune) and a fuel consumption of approx 8 mpg. (out of my reach for costs unfortunatly) A car that cost half the price to run and service, and will (in a real world) give a 4WD a BL(,)(,)DY good going for its money 'on a dry day' is tops in my book.

I will admit though that I have been looking at the Evo X (300 bhp) and dreaming about the what if's.
