The vx220 is quite frankly leagues ahead. We had a very well sorted mk1 track car and moved to a well sorted vx220 which has been modifed for track also, so maybe a std vx220 wont be quite as awesome. we test drove another vx220 but it was a bit less refined - i think it needed the suspension replacing and geo doen again.

The vx220 well setup is very intuative and you almost just think where you want to turn and the car goes there, inch perfect. no wobbles. the grip is massive. once past the limit though its more tricky than an s1 elise for some reason. no really driftable unless setup for that with less grippy tyres.
It gives loads of confidence with the handling, to the point where i crahsed mine up eau rouge at spa in the wet - oops! spapped round so quick.
apart feom that they are ace, and i know where i went wrong.

since i drove the mk1 to within an inch of its life, the vx220 has taken my driving ability much further, as i had gone as far as i could with the mk1
