Hello people.
Its been playing on my mind for a while since my Subaru came out of the body shop. Im getting ready for a new car.
Im looking to have 5 - 6k to spend but im in a dilemma. What do I want next.
I have 2 options for the cash I should have...
Option 1: An Evo 6/7.
4wd beasts, then I can say I have had both a Subaru and an Evo and settle the undying battle of the rally slags for myself.
Option 2: Nissan Skyline.
Not sure what spec yet coz I know nothing about em really. BUT they are RWD drift machines, with a fair bit of power.
Now here is where it gets complicated. Im used to the blistering 4wd, 4000rpm launch capabilities, being able to get from 0 - fast in no time at all, leaving some more powerful cars stood spinning at the lights. I would not like to go back to 2wd 'launch lag' waiting for wheels to grip and the turbo to spin up once the engine speed has dropped. Which is pushing me towards the Evo.
But I would like powerfull RWD drift machine.
Can anyone shed any light on what skylines are like for grip off the line and roadholding (without getting the back end out). And help me weigh up the pro's and cons?
