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.

The blue is the only specific colour, my st estate is stealth which was a specific st3 colour before it became standard on the rs.
Have to say I tested the rs and wasn't blown away, not enough to spend that money, also all these issues popping up are making me glad I didn't buy a mk3
