Subjective opinion-with the suspension upgrade on the vee-dub project car...how close is it to much more expensive cars in terms of chasis feel?
More or less asking how the Vee Dub Compares to the Cooper S Kim and Per Auto-X.
Looking for results from the seat of the pants dyno.

Welp, it's a 15 year old car with a pretty stiff suspension and pretty solid engine mounts. It's an absolute hoot around corners, but it's a little buzzy and stiff. Grip with the camber and decent wheel rates is certainly better than a stock MINI, and I'm working on upping the power. I think the MINI still has better steering feel and shift quality, but the Golf is getting better.
It will be a competitive FSP car when all is said and done.
Thanks for the response, keep us posted!
