Thinking about switching touge cars?

So most of you know im a rotary head and drive nothing but the FD3S on the touge. However, im thinking of switching to driving the Honda NSX-R (Not the Acura i actually mean the Honda) as my main but i want to know the Pros and Cons of the NSX-R. Only because i stuck at running 4:32.000s in my Spirit R, my best is a 4:31.822 (Clean) but i stuggle to reach that again (i can hit it just dirty now but i have beat it by a few Hundredths of a Second) and in the NSX-R i can feel it beating it real easy if i practice more with it, anyways whats the Pros and Cons of the NSX-R in your opinion than the Spirit R?

Umm... Drive whatever you like?

The NSX-R doesn't really have any flaws besides not having a rollcage and being RWD.  It's not really superior to the FD it's just MR rather than FR I guess.  I run the same times in my Spirit R than in my NSX on the downhill.  Uphill is a different story though.

Whhat? The nsx is easily superior to the FD. If were talking pure potential, nothing can top the nsx.

>Implying the FD is a piece of crap

The FD3S is REALLY good for A class, it has about the same width tires and overall weight than the NSX.  The MR traction gives it a bit of an edge but on the downhill both cars run 4:28s.  If you push 'em hard enough I bet both can do 27s too.  Even on paper the cars are nearly identical when it comes to stats lol (not that it means anything but it's a fact nonetheless).

Dont get me wrong, I agree the FD is really good. I'm just fairly certain the nsx will have a higher limit than the FD.

I prefer mid engines in all my racing because thats how i learned to drive. i think you will be faster in whatever you like the feel of. of course some cars just cant, but if you are comfy in it you can go faster and faster with time. if you are awkward and not liking how it feels and fighting it than you might not be comfy enough to push the car.

>Prefers MR
Yet...You drove a '81 Porsche in our last battle. An RR car... Something seems a little crooked there.

Not at all crooked. Many mids run a 40-45% weight ratio, so do RR porsches. While i like the feel of a porsche best and it is RR i can still drive the more commonly produced mid cars. i cant run fronts very well.

Ah. alright. I find that the balance of the DMC-12 is fun for ODH.
