I think there's a usable limit to a front wheel drive car, my car's gone off today, REVO are hoping for some decent gains so we'll see what the end of the week brings.
Very true. IMO the MK5 chassis can just about handle it so the MK6 should be more than up to the job of more power through the front.
But the Mk6 GTI IS the Mk5 chassis!
mk6 chassis has XDS, mk5 chassis does not.
As has been pointed out, XDS (or ACC even) is not a function of the chassis. XDS is an evolution of the EDL system thats on the mk5 (so there is an argument that XDS in one form DID exist on the mk5
). All it is is a tweak to the ESP programming, no extra hardware there. ACC is a different type of shock absorber with the associated control systems and is categorically not part of the 'chassis'.
