I do beleive there is a set going on a working car very soon
maybe then we will get a decent review
rather than the disks sitting looking pretty in a garage for six months!!
what sort of testing is that??
other than of any rust proofingapplied
as for poor mans six, price to start with was around the same (in real terms at sale prices compared to wages etc)
s16 was built in vey limited numbers and so was never going to be as popular as the six which was mass produced.
s16 weighs the least of any of the performace 306 range, yet still had electric windows and half leathers and sunroof
and in the real world apart from the extra gear of the gti6 rallye i doubt any one on here could notice the differance the 12bhp makes, that is if they were to get in to a car with out seeing the outside or engine and both cars having 5 speed boxes.
couple the heavier six with the 12bhp and i doubt performance in our hands is much different
doubt even a real top driver could notice which is different
but hey ho gti6 owners will always belive an extra gear, not being able to get around multi storey car parks and 12bhp extra plus 100kg extra weight gives them a superior car.
You cant win them all.haha
