they are a little softer and easier to drive. also the brakes are a little different. I happen to really like the v2 because you can separate the boost and throttle profiles. If you spend a little more time tuning those two settings, you'll be happy with the v2's. IDK about the brakes tho, they aren't like the older models. i'm really not sure why. they are softer when the car is going slow. I think they are the same when you are at speed. not much i can say about that. i dial my brakes down low anyways so it took me 5 mins to get used to it.
