It's an RS in my opinion. I has much of what you'd expect from any RS -- weight reduction, sport suspension, sport look, options delete, RS badging. The thing that makes it a little less of an RS is that the factory didn't do anything to the engine. It is exactly the same as the Carrera 2/4 of the same year. Not sure why, but it is probably the smog laws.
That being said, most RSA owners have done what the factory didn't -- added that extra 30 HP to the motor by changing air flow and exhaust. The 280 HP that most RSA's have is more than the much celebrated 260 HP Euro RS.
Whatever, if the factory called it an RS, it is an RS -- period.
