^ True that. There's a grunt in the 4.0 right off the bat, that the 3.8 just can't mimic.
That said, i think I've gotten mine to be pretty close to the 4.0s I've experienced.
- 4.0 coilovers (that in itself says a lot)
- DSC PASM module
- Monoball LCAs
- 8:32 R&P
- Sharky/EvoMS header

Which step is bigger from 997.2 GT3 to 997.2 RS 3.8 or 997.2 RS 3.8 to RS 4.0?
I havent driven rs 4.0 yet.

The 4.0 has more power and especially mid range torque but the dynamic handling differences are pretty small and you need to be driving the car really hard to show up the additional rear suspension work that has gone into it.

U can feel the difference in suspension just puttering around town. Elements of the 2rs suspension feel that filter into the 4.0. I didn't think it was so subtle. W/in 5min, composure over undulation, mid-range torque and what felt like an even lighter lwfw.

The RS is a little more alive due to LWFW.
The 4.0 revs up smoother compared to 3.8RS. The 3.8RS had that little hiccup and of course slower out of mid RPM torque corners.
Back when we tracked 4.0 between 3.8RS, the motor was better for sure, but we never figured out what to do with the suspension to make it handle as well as the 3.8RS.
