I really don't know what I should do with this car yet, but feels like a chance that I can not let go.
Thanks again !

I'll leave the answers to most of your questions about the specs of an RS to the experts like Grady.
As far as having a T engine in an S car, that's not too far out of the ordinary from what I've seen. Having a U.S. engine in a car in Germany may be the result of the car having once been in the U.S. and later sold to someone in Europe--very common sequence--and the engine swap may have been done in the U.S. All this is speculation, however, unless you have some documentation of the car's history.
Bottom line, not having the original engine in an early S is not uncommon and contributes greatly to the high value the market places on an S
with its original drive train.
BTW, you may wish to post the VIN of the car to help identify its history.
