I think the torque curve of the GT3 and RS will be virtually the same shape, but the extra displacement means that the RS's torque will be higher everywhere.

You better believe it.

The 4.0 is a big step up from 3.8. Peak torque doesn't tell you anything. It is a very meaningless number for the GT3 - it is almost directly proportionate to the peak hp, and doesn't tell you anything about the engine's flexibility.

IMO, this is the most significant change when comparing the GT3 and RS.

That's sort of what I meant. You just said it better.

Great article and video, as usual for Harris Monkey. UV looks pretty good.

If I have to pick from the 4 colors UV it is....if I can't get a new one that I'm first in line for Trakcar's RS.
