Well done Peter!
Happy to see Pete's 4l in good hands again and driven as it should be.
Not to mention that when I visit I now have one 4.0 to drive in each coast.

Road and Track tested the GT3 RS 4.0 and the standard GT3 3.8.
Both cars were tested at the same place in Germany, European versions, the 4.0RS was tested at 83 degrees F, while the GT3 3.8 was tested at 72 degrees F.
GT3 3.8 vs. GT3 RS 4.0
1/4 mile: vs. 11.8 @ 119.5 mph vs. 11.8 @ 122.2mph
0-60mph: 3.7s vs. 3.6s
0-120mph: 11.9s vs 11.5.s
The 4.0RS has 65Hp more than the GT3 3.8, but the torque difference is just 22 ft-lbs, and the extra power in the 4.0RS is just at the end on a very narrow powerband (like my Fiat, the main reason my Fiat feels less powerful than a 500Hp 997Turbo or C6Z06).
The 4.0RS has slightly better handling in straight line than the 3.8RS.
