welcome

being a former G60 owner i can see why the coupe may attract you. for the space you need an avant is the way.

main differences.

S2 has a poorer chassis, more wobble, is heavier, poorer brakes, more creaks and rattles, greater potential to leak.

G60 had better chassis, some really annoyingloy costly and unreliable bits (not thye charger but sunroof etc). C is by far the better drivers car.

on the power front the G60 can become hard work esp with a 65mm pulley, red tops, front mount etc as mine did. having said that a tuned G60 like that is standard S2 fast and much quicker through the3 bends.

beauty if s2 is over 350hp. the engine and running gear can hack it no problem. im nearing the 500hp mark now and it still feels ok.

the grip is the + and the -

personally i would not bother with RS2 stuff its not good value at all IMO. its also very old technology.

hope this helps as in this instance BTDT

cheers for the info i did want a s2 before the g60 but couldnt afford one and now i can and im looking for a bit more power than the g60 can give.
what would you sugest insteed of rs2 parts?

Hi there, welcome to the forum, you'll find it very helpful!

i have an s2 avant for sale rather cheap, and want to go back to g-power

Keep the bug dude. Buy a cheaper s2 as they r still brilliant without silly money. I have both and couldn't b without either. Have had bugs for 7 or 8 years n s2 since feb n I honestly couldn't have 1 without the other for loadsa reasons.
