I can barely feel it through the helm — steering feedback is not a GT24 strong point — but I am glad to note that, despite being equipped with 315bhp,
an aggressive front diff and wet - weather racing tyres, the nose doesn't try to sniff out the edges of the cambered tarmac.
Not exact matches
The promise is all there with a new butch
front end, a more
aggressive body kit, chunks of carbon fibre, a huge rear wing for extra downforce, a new diffuser at the back, stiffer springs, a new rear subframe with stiffer bushes, a tweaked active
diff and a tweak of the stability control for more fun.
I also prefer the VAQ
diff in the Clubsport - which seems more
aggressive - and with less power to play with, the GTI Performance doesn't give you that wonderful feeling of the
front - wheel drive chassis barely containing the turbocharged fury.
