A lot of ST owners seem to be ordering in the RS colours and then going with the black wheels etc. I suppose in a way the WRX to STI syndrome!.
But, like the WRX to STI, the differences are huge in terms of mechanics, engine etc. I guess its hard for a manufacturer to make a huge difference cosmetically to two performance cars based on the same car. We have a couple of modded MK2 ST's near me that need a second look to differentiate between them and an RS. They even sound the same. Same goes for Golfs. Is it a GTI, GTD, GT line or an R?.
I've never driven a MK2 RS, but have driven a Mk3 ST and the difference between that and the MK3 RS is night and day.
