Re: RS4 : More Crap

[Dave Eaton <dave.eaton@minedu.govt.nz>]

the rs2 has the carrera cup dished 17" wheels (i understand that they are the
same as in the 968cs application.

i've heard the theory abou the s2/rs2 6 speed box having some porsche
connection.  can't be definite about it though.  it *is* a much better box than
the s2 5 speed and the ur-q 5 speed unit.  

the boxster box is from audi i believe...
