I'd have to search, but if I recall some comparison tests have shown the RS isn't much faster than the R, especially if the R is an automatic, like mine. I personally don't like the Boy-racer looks (inside and out), nor the more cramped interior of the RS, not to mention I don't like Fords, in general. Also, I'm just a $400 piggyback tune away from ~360 hp and sub-4-second 0-60s in the R (just waiting for break-in to be done before I pull the trigger).
