I have already read about what you describe and it is interesting!
I'm still sold on it though. I don't think I've read a negative review yet.
The car is designed to withstand 30 minutes of track work without fade, which for a hack like me is plenty.
Most cars have some issues/limitations when modding begins, we only need to look at the 2.5l in the Rex's which struggle much past a tune and exhaust.
I truly think (it's a big call i know), i will be leaving my RS stock. It appears to be pretty damn good as is ☺👍
