For the price of the RB6 you can have both B5's without the headache of taking a car apart to swap the motor configuration around if you want to try each.

So we spent 199.99 for a conversion, and we can get a new B5 for 260?
If this pricing is now correct, those are very fair prices. Im thinking they wont be the factory team kit but if they are like the 4x4 sc truck when it was released then have an upgrade kit then that might me ok.

if its a factory team kit for 260.00 then there isnt one person who can complain about that. so what its two cars, its two cars for a reason. there isnt a platform that AE likes that suits both, so to bring us the best they gave us two cars for the price of an RB6. I dont see the problem, I personally will have a B5 RM for stock and a B5M for mod and for our outdoor season ill use the RM car for mod.

Anyone who thinks a Centro or a 4.2 is not competitive or obsolete is kidding themselves.

Tower "wording" gets edited a lot as they get more info. So I'm hoping it's released as a "Factory Team" car..Would be dumb not to IMO. Shocks are the biggest factory team option on all their cars, and this one clearly has them. I would assume it will have all the other "bling" as well.
Doesn't seem to come with any tires..that's a good thing IMO.
Whatever your view on AE quality is. I don't think at that price point (well under $300) we're going to see a change in that department.

I doubt AE would use dog bones in a "team" kit. Composite instead of aluminum or steel CVD's maybe. Also, I thought there was no difference between a CVA and CVD? CVD being a trademark of MIP.
