I see soooooooooooo many people with Truenos and or S2000's and from what i've always known there isnt supposed to be that much difference between cars?

Reason i ask is im thinking of what i want my 3rd car to be, i have a FT'ed FC and an almost FT'ed R32 and for my third car i was thinking an S2000 (i cant stand looking like a fanboy with a 86) but i really dont wanna feel like everyone else i know who gets an S2000 just cause its "top tier." So is there really that much of a difference between cars that i should pick a top tier as my last one?

P.S. I dont want an FD either. Because of the amount i see them. I was thinking maybe cappo?

Well, top tier cars do have a "handling advantage". All cars have the same top speed in all maps in battles (except for capp, AE85, R32 and R34) but with ID4 not every car handles the same way. Skylines are heavier and every time you steer it seems like you have delayed movements. Truenos can turn ok and has great response and handling but its a little too slippery. (Try it on Akagi DH wet, OMG)

The S2000 is a good balanced car which you can take anywhere. It has good response like the Trueno but not slippery. Especially for Pro-like playing where you want to get a tight line, the S2000 can hug the line really good. Something hard to do with the Trueno. Power is just standard though and nothing too noteworthy. The S2000 also sucks in startups.

I would recommend the NA6CE:

-Small size gives you extra maneuvering room while helping you take tighter lines.
-Good handling. Responds well and doesn't slide as much as the Trueno.

If you want a good battle car however, I would recommend an FD because it has good handling and stability. It also has pretty good startup. thumbsup.gif

You can use the s2000 on any map. But it will only have a slight top speed advantage on Tsukuba outbound. Any car, given that it's full tuned is possible to run fast times.
