 track correcting bushings (a.k.a. similar to the 928's Weissach axle
 concept), but I still find the A2's twitchier than 4K's. And when they
 bite you, they really let you have it. Love 'em that way.

The coupe GT is MUCH smoother than the A2 GTi or the A1-based Scirocco 16v -
I absolutly amazed my 16v friend with a ride, where he repeatedly said "I
can't do that...wow...".  Of course, he could break the tires loose going
into 2nd - I couldn't do that...
Having had both a A2, a 4kQ, an A1 GTi and two GT's, the GT is undoubtedly
the best handeling overall, the A1 was the easiest to get to the point you
wanted immediately, the 4KQ has the nicest ride by far.  My opinion, of
course, but I know that I can't get a 4KQ around the track like the GT goes,
since I've had both out there, and I've run up against A2's and A1 VW's, and
they can't run with the GT.  Then again, neither can the E30 M3's and most of
the E36 M3's.  And the occasional Ferrari.  :-)
