F**K THE SYSTEM!!
he says that because that fd is far superior car performance wise.
DID you not see the brakes? THE TRUE functional RE-amemiya aero?
THats what he means.. That car can eaily destroy that specific s14 in any circuit.
Acceleration = fd wins
braking = FD ftw
Cornering G's = Fd ftw

The only S14s that are even remotely near the price of a decent FD is the Kouki model and only in great condition. And they're still a bit cheaper. Regular S14 body 240s are only $5000 max. And our FDs are comparable to the NSX and Supra because it outperforms them, especially as lightly to mildly modded track cars.

well s14 vs fd is subjective, depends on how much you dump into the car. The white zenki in the video is very quick and could possibly give my fd a run for it's money if he puts some r-compounds on. He has a sr20 with some large turbo setup, similar to mine (HKS t04S). Either way... as long as the owner drives the car to its potential thats what matters most.

He made a comment meaning the margin is too wide to even compare. When its not.
The margin is wider when comparing FD's to supras/NSX's. WHich is why i mentioned it.
In terms of reliability, resale/value, rarity (TT supras etc).
Performance is relative. All great track cars. But a modified FD will NEVER sell even close to the amount of a low mileage STOCK TT supra. Never. Not even a low mileage STOCK FD. Cant compete. Difference is too great.
Thats why i said not even close. Our FD's fall under the "cheaper jap" car to buy.
Its sad but hey, thats how it is.
