Two reviewers said two different things. One said they handle the same, Do the springs have different ratios? Do the struts/shcocks have different valving? Do the rears have the same gear ratio?
Actually, I said they both handle great. Incredibly sticky, and fun to drive. When I said "no difference there" I meant that they both handle great and are incredibly sticky. But that's just on surface streets. I haven't taken my Red Line to a track, and I haven't gone crazy with it on cornering. My first SKY handled really well, and I never had control problems with it. Maybe I just never pushed it too far. My Red Line also has had no handling problems. Does the Red Line behave bette when pushed further? Probably, but I haven't done that so I can't speak to that.

As for gearing, they are totally different - especially when combined with the increased power. In my first SKY third was a slow accelerating gear - pretty boring, really. In the Red Line, third is the most fun of all - the car really takes off. I know the rear end gear ratios are different, but I don't have the exact figures.
