That is a nice huge amount of torque!
The only thing I wish my S8 had is a bit more low down torque. |

Carry on carry on.... I'm bussy eating popcorn and reading the thread
As of now the car is nicely placed in the garage since MOT expired 01.09.13 Got all the parts needed but with 1 kid in the hospital for the last month there has not been any time to do the Job.. As prob most of you in here there are so many plans... I for now really want an RS2 for keeps but if i manage to get the one i have in sight the 8 has to go... So RS2 or race S8?

The question is what are you going to use the car to?
RS2 is nice to look at but it's no big difference against a much cheaper S2. And for the cost of a RS2 you can buy a much better RS4 or RS6. So if you want a good looking fast all day car then Rs4 or RS6 is your choice. But if you want a track car, well then an race S8 will be a really fun car for less money than an RS car.

another update...
Seller decided to keep his RS6 even if we had an oral agreement. Found this out when sending him the contract to sign today... Even had insurance started today...

KW ver1 or 2 works okay for track use,I think they are the best universal coilovers you can buy, my friend have v1 on his A8 race car
But if you want to drive really fast and with slick tyres then they are to soft and you need custom built coilovers for your car. Kw ver1 / 2 has springs with this hardness: Front 120N / mm Rear 80N / mm My KW Competition 2-way Front 240N / mm = 1370lbs, but I will mount even harder this year maybe 300N/mm = 1700lbs in front. Rear 140N / mm = 800lbs

there you go then. perfect coilovers for a trackday car with trackday tyres, kumho v70 or 888's. not full slicks

Get an old mx5 for 1k, half roll cage, strip out, sports suspension and you will have a grin from ear to ear. Get a turbo kit of you want to really have a hoot.
