so after 5 pages of discussion has TS came to a conclusion yet?

my advice to u (TS), as a seasoned RWD driver is.......don't spend too much money on your first FR car, get something cheap like a KE70 with 4age blacktop engine, then take the time to get used to it. Make sure u sometimes find an empty ground (like factory area) to let the tail loose. after a few years (3 years at least) then get a more powerful and expensive car.

if u straight away buy a car that is designed and built for stability and track specific cornering (like the s2000 and mx5) which is hard to let the tail loose, u won't learn anything about a RWD car, except that these cars (s2k and mx5) are really great to drive (normally).
