In all fairness to the bashing here - no competition in my eyes has the everyday and specially all year performance of the turbo - it sucks big time for my RS to put it away from Oct - March-April because of weatherconditions here in Switzerland - and I am seriously thinking of adding a TTS just to overcome that gap - u won't hardly see a Gallardo or a R8 on the week-ends to go skiing - but here in CH you see a lot of 4S and turbo's being driven hard in winter-times. (dunno where the new front lip will take the new S - but the 997 model was no issue)
