You expect an unbiased answer from us :lol:

0-100kmh in 7.5s although I have seen quicker (and slower)

They handle like they are on rails.

Yes... you see all over the net I came to different times. Some said 6.9 others said 7.1. Can you feel mutch under steer? there has to be some. Im looking to purchase a quick n/a car. Ive come to the fto as a good choice but other than a jz80a supra whats out there. Looking to keep it all quite cheap to.

There aren't much quicker for FWD - pretty much only the DC2R (1994-7 Integra Type R) but they're a fair bit more expensive.

You can get faster RWD cars (such as the Supra) but personally Supras handle like boats and only go fast in a straight line (N/A and turbos :lol: )

At the end of the day, what are you looking for in your car? Something that is only quick in a straight line? (get a Supra) or something that goes round corners quick (get a DC2R or a S1 Lotus Elise) or do you want the complete package of decent straight line speed, razor sharp cornering, all of the creature comforts like electric windows / mirrors / climate control (get an FTO!)

CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Coming from a lancer, I was a little surprised just how understeery the fto is. I was expecting a lot more 'on rails' behaviour than I got. Great chassis yes, but you can really feel the weight distribution when you put it into the corners and you feel the momentum of the body shifting around. Springs may fix this however and I'll probably be corrected as such.

Yeah mate, you probably wanna get your suspension checked - these things are on rails :lol:

Set up correctly with coil-overs, oversteer can be a problem too :D
