Hardly any difference between them pal.
www.rs2000-16v.com is your friend.
You'll just get a load of negative comments about them on here lol. Not that fast but good fun and great character. Expensive to get much more power out of mind. Anything worthwhile is ITBs or turbo path.
Cheapest way to buy an RS but check underneath as much as possible. They love to rust.

Straight line speed isn't everything. The 4x4 will eat the 2WD through the twisties, so it all depends what you want from it. Both are very underrated cars either way!

Went out in my mates 2wd rs2000 and it went ok, was not that fast but was a nice car and was a nice place to be inside. Defo worth the money for me.
