Any knowledgeable brains want to weigh in on the chassis design/weight distribution of the FTO? Trading some banter with this S13 owner.
don't really owe him an explanation, but curious if anyone had anything to say on it.

And you can sit inside it and control it with a circle and some rectangles on the floor.

Someone with 'knowledge' would not even engage in banter with an S13 owner.

True, true. He did use the old "girls car" line, which despite being sexist, he also seemed to fail to realise the irony of it, given his girlfriend is driving his previous car, a sil80.
logic fail much.

Huh, just had a look on Wikipedia. Stock for stock would be a close one I think. The SR20 does generate a decent chunk more torque though. These stats are brilliant, haha. FTO is shorter, wider, longer wheel base, lower and even weighs less. All not by much, but iit's satisfying to read.

A friend had one, but he crashed it into a pole...
And FTO is faster than a turbo silvia around a track, stock for stock
