I see mark took you ''over to the other unit'' nice cars in there, that leon sounded brutal.
my lad sat in plato's car and you could hardly see him, did you see the clutch on that little fester.
And the weight of 4 shocks, super light.
i called down there last week in the truck just to look around again,  :drool:

When you say - oh it's harsh .. can you elaborate a little more ... am seriously considering one at the moment.

It's made of hard stuff so needs time to bed in so u have to give it more revs to make it set off smooth as if you are gentle it groans abit but only when setting off, but after driving the vwr car with the same setup and being told by mark it's nomal untill it's bedded in as the demo car was like stock you just could not tell

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

^^^^
Just to add my tupenny-worth, Mark (at VWR) tells me that I have driven the 300R demo with both clutch types installed and bedded in. As Mat says, the clutch action is surprisingly smooth and feels no different from stock (although I'm more used to DSG, I have driven Manual GTI's). In fact, coming from DSG, I have been particularly focussed on the clutch of the VWR demo and first time I drove her I expected she'd be tricky but she's a pussycat.
