I sound like a broken record but don't trust a review on a 200k upgrade to 4.0; find an RL'er to let u drive one. If u r ever in NY, PM me and u can drive mine. Then you'll really know either way. Not sure I'd trade a known 3.8 for 4.0 at these levels. Then again I'm not trading down at these levels either. So some of it would just be laziness; not $$$
Is there any good reviews comparing the 3.8 vs 4.0?
In my head, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of difference to explain a 200K price delta.
This isn't a popular opinion but imo the main reason why there is that large a price difference is the XXX/600 plaque on the dash and very little to do with technical/driving differences.
That is an interesting opinion from someone who has presumably driven both.
I find the extra torque as well as the different suspension settings make a major difference in feel. Whether that is worth the price differential is an individual choice, however the cars do differ in a meaningful way.

Or it could be that it is and will remain the greatest driver's car of all time...
It's still a big premium to pay over what might be the second greatest but it's quite a thing to have and they're not making any more of them. For me the driving pleasure is foremost but it's also having a piece of history.
This thread is tempting to sell everything I drive and buy the Queen....ugh

What are the actual mechanical differences btw 3.8 and 4.0, apart from the extra 0.2L? If it’s just the 0.2L, then the 3.8RS is a huge bargain given the price diff.

...but if I could drive a 4.0, I could decide for myself to buy one or not. 
Drove mine yesterday
