If I were to guess, I would say probably due to the lighter fly wheel on the RS. Everything else should be the same for the engine.

Sounds like you were looking at the petrol version of the RS, rather than its diesel counterpart.

I am concerned as I just purchased an 07 GT3 RS. I could have used this 1 pound in my negotiations.

It could be a metric thing

What's the conversion factor?

i think i know what happened. i had
1) a trunk full of stuff
2) unplugged my exhaust valve wire switch so exhaust valve was always open, lost low end torque.

that's my excuse
