One thing i am concerned about, it that i am coming from a Stage 1 200SX, loadsa rear wheel drive fun, but it commands much respect or it will bite you.
Whats it like trying to get nigh on 200hp onto the road through FWD?
And what about gearboxes, are they up to the job, this car has an uprated clutch, so will that help loads?
I can't lie, the 200SX will certainly get the power down better. But a Stage 1 200SX will not feel as fast as a 200bhp S2. The Paddle-Clutch will help transmit the power, but it's still going to wheelspin.
I LOVE Front-wheel-drive. There is a totally different style to driving one fast, compared to Rear-wheel-drive. You can push your luck alot more. Unlike the RWD, providing you don't enter a corner too fast, you can do what you like once you are in the corner. It will push on, which you can control with the throttle, where the RWD will just break-away and hit a lamp-post!!
