They all have stress cracks at the base of the base of the A pillar. I first discovered it on mine and I later checked out more than a dozen other examples in car parks and it was quite consistent. Around the inner boot and behind the fuel tank are other areas. The quality control isn't something to write home about.

No question that the engines are stronger/torquier/have more potential and the driveline tougher than a RS, but at the end of the day a stock RS is faster to 100 kmh, over the 400m and for top speed.

The VR4 needs much stiffer springs/dampers than stock otherwise they handle like a boat. I was shocked at the difference between mine and the RS I had before. It wasn't fun to drive at all unfortunately, unless one compared it to a Commondore or something.and it more like a t. A stock RS would wipe its arse over a stock VR4 on a twisty road, lag or not.

Refer to the Wheels and Moder Motor tests of 1991 - the RS won in both cases.

They are the best performance value for cars under 10k because they have are not well regarded in the marketplace as a used comparison to the RS and GT4. And they take a LONG time to get rid of. Wonder why?
