Not much improvement for all the extra cash?

The in gear performane hasn't yet been mentioned. It won't be known until it is test driven, but with the extra power and torque it will probably pull more eagerly right through the rev range in comparison to the MCS/MCS Stage 1 JCW. Also with the upgraded brakes, it may be a better performer on track.

I'm certainly interested to see how it goes.
