Hi,
I currently have a first gen (12a) and am about to buy a new car. I am considering getting a Normally Aspirated 2nd Gen. Will a notice a huge difference in straight line performance and handeling? Or am I better off buying something cheaper and saving for a TII?

 

With the same mods, the SA/FB will be faster than the NA FC.

Save up for the TII. You'll be happier in the end if you are going for speed.

 

Hmm? Don't FBs(non-GSL-SE's) run like in the 17s stock? How do they get faster than FC NAs?

 

GSL-SE are faster, they also have a 13b

 

Ya I know that, thats why I put "non-GSL-SE's" in parenthesis.

 

I have a 12a (there were no stock first-gens with a 13b in Australia). If a TII is too expensive (they seem to be rare around here and about four grand more!) what other cars should I look at, i don't really care about comfort I like a car that handles well and goes fast!
