Gixxer, might be worth asking Tony. Daniel thinks the RB6 front end is much more positive on initial turn in. This may be the way we have the RB6 set up though?

We spoke to a couple of people about the DB2 and the response was good.

Ah good I have a db1 and like it but wish it had the steering of the rb6 which is what I'm hoping the db2 has

Db2 has far more front end bite but is also more stable and adapts to a wider range of grip levels.

Loving mine

Both great cars, but the DB2 is good performance step over the DB1.
DB1 relied on high grip levels to gain enough initial steering, also had traction issues on low grip surfaces.
DB2 has the same great initial steering of the RB6 and it's light weight and good weight distribution give it excellent traction even on very low grip surfaces.

Regards,
James.
