Grand Touring 2004 I have the R&T PDF

This month they featured a road test with the specs on the R3.
Can't article find it on line. It may be there but it is buried.

road surface condition and temperature can make that much of a difference in braking performance.

It could have been the larger rims on the 09 if it was the R3.. interesting though..
