I just wondered if anyone was able to tell me why the RS is more powerful then the RB and what is it in the RS that makes the difference. A far as I can tell the RS weighs more at 1280kg than the RB 1240kg but horsepower for the RS is 280 and the RB 265. I can't seem to find any place on the net to explain the difference.

the 280hp has different turbos, which run more boost (10.5 vs 9.5), a larger downpipe, different muffler, and ecu.
