[s-cars] Are Rs2"d S4's that faaaast? [YES, mit some Mercedes and Porsche Content]

[Doug Landaeta]

Miro, fellow RS2 / Porsche / Mercedes Historians,

I only have my personal-butt-dyno, but when pushing a Hybrid RS2 turbo, EM,
injectors, Stromung, Dahlback chips, and an S2 6-speed, my grin is
permanent.  I'm glad I'm not the only one hitting the rev limiter! Come to
the next S-fest and get a variety of rides - an UrS4/6 is like a palette,
and much art has been crafted into the individual personalities of lister's
rides. Enjoy!  (and did you bury your wallet yet?)

Check out these two articles:

I like this particular quote,
"On full boost the RS2 delivers the motoring equivalent of being fired from
a cannon. Only the bulky gear change hampers performance, but get it right
and 60mph will arrive 4.8 seconds after you started, l00mph after 13.1
seconds and the chase for the horizon won't level off until it's reached
163mph. Not bad for an estate car!"

... And remember, most modern RS2 modifications easily exceed the modest
Porsche HP of 315.

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.
