With so many component changes between the B6 and B6.1 chassis and the new V2 springs, the setup sheets will vary significantly between the two versions. So, I agree with the need for two separate strings.
Honestly, I would have called the new car a B7...which should have resulted in a new string anyway.

From what I am getting the diff will interchange. MIP just released their 6 series diff early December and discontinued the 5 series. I believe AE would of gave MIP a heads up, I mean VRP already has a shock tower prototype already, think they could of had it that fast without word from AE.

MIP and AE have a very long close relationship. I doubt either party wants to ruin that.

It's called a working relationship. AE can sell more cars if aftermarket companies make cool stuff people want to buy to go on said car. AE doesn't even make light weight driveshafts, a big portion of MIP's business. I want to say JC had bodies available right when the B6 dropped. Don't be surprised if JC had a new B6.1 body when it drops. Shoot, AE basically got the B44 from JConcepts. The industry is small, and AE recognizes the value in strong aftermarket support.
