Ggr8shandini - in all actuality, your Falco is probably pushing very similar RWHP to the s3 - +-5 maybe (derestricted Falco, of course - with the derestriction, renegade aibox and cans I was dynoed around the 117 mark)? Something like that. If I am correct (and often, I am not
), the s3 is pushing a claimed 128hp at the crank, which would probably translate around 115 rwhp? Unless that 128 is rw, then, I'll just shut up
Rudebwoy - glad I could help, and glad it was the kind of info you wanted. As for all around town stuff, you can expect the same kind of comfort level in either an I4 or twin. As for heat, my buddy's RC runs pretty hot, and he lowered the temps by running waterwetter, picked up a few fins which help direct air into the radiators (side mounted on the 51), as well as a few other mods I think. Managable temps, nothing crazy. My GF has a 996 which runs quite hot in the deep summer, but those temps are all manageable. Nothing so much that you would want to nix the idea of buying one, so I wouldn't even let that be a concern. The main differences? Twins stick out, sound great, and give you all the power right away - all great stuff. If you decide to go that route, I am relatively sure you will be happy you did. Your main changes will revolve around a quick change in how you experience the power, as well as understanding how that translates when entering/exiting a corner - but it's a quick learning curve
