The gti6s that have probably 'correct' cam timing don't have the rush at the top end and are just Meh all over... The ones that have 'f*cked' cam timing are great when you simply want to wring it's neck... The torque is OK, but 145lb.ft is never going to blow my skirt up... But 300lb.ft tearing out of a slow corner into a long straight does... That's where gti6s feel so gutless, the gearbox is too long so you end up in first, then you nail the throttle and it spins faster and yes you get going, but as far as I'm concerned, nailing the throttle as the car squirms out of the corner fighting to find traction before going for the next gear and it just keep pulling hard...
Don't get me wrong, fast a roads the gti6 feels sweeter, you can leave it in 3rd/4th and sail along.. But on anything that actually requires slowing down like most UK roads do... Give me something that really scrabbles out of a corner...
