Text Box: Driving Impressions On the road the car is pretty easy to drive ,the nismo clutch cylinder really helped, It is great fun to drive because it is a real sleeper. Hardly anyone knows what it is and even those that do expect it to be a single turbo auto and not to have more than double the power of a standard RS Four on low boost. Performance wise it pulls like a train from 3500rpm right up to over 8000rpm . Although the engine will rev a fair bit higher the extra revs are not really necessary because of the relatively high torque . The huge AP Racing brakes are really amazing with no apparent fade from any speed and make the car a lot safer to drive quickly. Before the suspension/steering upgrades it was quite a handful at speed . Now it is much more controllable and is extremely stable bearing in mind its size.
