silvia vs ae86?

because ae86's have been used for drifting by the japs loads and now everyone wants one + they have a lsd as stock and a nice revvy engine and are light, but as everyone on here knows s12's are better

(or at least better value

)

AE86 have a better chassis and have a long racing heritage. the 4AGE also has heritage and is very closely based on the Ford/Lotus BDA. S12's don't have that kind of history so they're never going to have the same kind of attraction for people that are worried about that sort of thing. I personally think that a CA18ET in an AE86 would be a weapon
