[s-cars] Are Rs2"d S4's that faaaast?

[Sean Douglas]

Miro:

I think I responded to that thread and I stand by my opinion as I made
the progression from a stock K24 to a MTM 1+ to RS2.

The K24 with a 280 HP chip (MTM 1+) has a huge bump in torque at about
3000 rpm, but after 5500 rpm, the K24 is making more heat than moving
air and the HP/TQ drops way off. The RS2 doesn't hit its stride until
about 3200 rpm, but it pulls hard to redline (7000). I've hit the rev
limiter on more than one occasion because the rpm climb very fast.

If you are running mostly around town, then you won't notice much
difference, but on the freeway or other areas where you can run up to
redline, the RS2 definitely is faster in the top end.
