Well.

Sure, if they bring out a new RS it "may" affect the price. But it will still hold value better than an ST, so my point there still stands.

I've driven some 330bhp ST's and they were quick, but not as quick as the 370bhp RS's i have driven. I've yet to see an ST with those power levels. Only bolt on tuning goodies to make that power too. You can't get that out of an ST that i've seen.

And the handling and grip, you say you uprated the suspension. Fair enough. I'm talking about a standard RS being better handling than a standard ST. It's just a fact, it is. In my road tests the RS was quality on road and track. The ST was a laugh but i had to lift in places where i would floor it in the RS.

Sure, spend money on LSD, suspension etc etc etc. Great, you will have a faster ST.

But if you spunk £10k on top of your £15k ST it isn't the greatest way to spend your money, to just edge past a standard RS. What will the ST then sell for?? Maybe a couple of grand more than the other thousands of ST's.


For me, i'd rather have the better car to begin with, enjoy the pose, sell it easier when the time comes and if i need some extra power, it's not expensive to get.
