You expect an unbiased answer from us
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
)
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!)

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

Probably because mines on the stockos. I remember though when dstocks first gave me a ride in it it felt a lot more planted.
