Well to be fair to you the s2 vts is softer than a gti6 but an s1 is stiffer,lighter and faster steering due to the 5sp box quicker rack 21mm bars and higher poundage springs.

Ooooooh rallye me want!
Yep, you're right about the S1 VTS. Kind of hard to get a hold of now frown

A lot of the guys on the Gti-6 forum fit the S1 Rack, a big improvement apparently.

Cant imagine that a 6 speed box with Satchshift would be easy to beat though!!

I don't think I could bring myself to butcher my car for the satchshift! A friend has one on his 106 and I was amazed at how much better it was compared to the horrible stirring a bag of custard standard ma box!

Thats a billy bargain! eek

Might have to buy this for my next track car!

OP: If I dont buy it, Get this car!

As for satchshift, Ive never driven with one, but ive sat in and played with the gear lever (childish I know hehe) and it felt pretty damn good.
