Cars are expensive and to get one that does both is really expensive, so most of us have to choose one. What characteristic. What car that fits that characteristic would you actually buy?
>>
>>15854890
if I just wanted to drive and not worry about anything, handling over speed.
if I had the time, I'd buy something with big power and no handling, then modify it to turn.
>>
¿Por que no los dos?
>>
>>15854901
>30k
As if most people have that much money to spend on a car.
Even Engineering Explained sold his STI and bought an S2000.
>>
>>15854911
The non sti version can be had for around $25,000 which is comparable to the two cara you posted in the op.
>>
>>15854890
Handing any day of the week. Going fast has its merits, but going semi-fast and being able to not crash into a wall is better.

>>15854916

I only used that image since it had a car from each camp. I should have specified, but I didn't mean new cars.

>>15854890
The wrx is faster than the v6 mustang and will keep up with an frs anywhere.
>>
>>15854911
He also owns a 370z and which has both criteria of fast and handling.

More like, The WRX is WAY faster than the FRS and will keep up with the V6 Mustang anywhere.
>>
>>15855084
Does he? I wasn't even aware of this.
>>
>>15854911
The last remnants of my doubts about him being a closet faggot just got demolished
>>
>>15854890
My car goes over 80MPH AND handles well.

You can have both, but you're American and can't have either.
'Fast' relies on not having a >2t vehicle
'Good handling' relies on having fully independent suspension, a >2t vehicle, and proper suspension dynamics.

American cars do not fit those parameters.

Eurocars are overpriced slow pieces of over engineer shit.

He supposedly has a girlfriend.

>handling
>can't handle a handful of gravel
>>
>>15860099
>>Whats a GTR
Japanese.

>>What's a Shelby GT 350
Still inferior to a European car of the same price.
>>
>>15854894
I feel like the other way would be better though. Isn't it easier to modify an engine to make more speed? Or swap in one that makes more power?
A long / big body is limited. Maybe I'm wrong though, I don't know too much about suspension mods.

Handling > power for me, to an extent.

Pic related, faster than any sub 100k European trash.

Also
>You need a light car in order to be able to turn.
>Muh 2t
>What's a GTR?
>>
>>15857844
A >2t car is insane. Wtf would I need a 4000+ lbs or 2000+ kg car for.
>>
>>15857844
>80MPH
>fast
I hit 100 in my 90 bhp pigfat coldhatch shitbox every day on my way to university and back. I'd like to assume that any modern car does at least 80.
>>
>>15854890
Anything over 3500 pounds or so has too much inertia to handle well.
>>
>>15857113
But anon, he doesn't own a Miata
>>
>>15857844
Every car can hit 80mph brah. That doesn't make it fast.
>>
>>15854890
The Mustang is better at both.

>>15862671
The pic wasn't meant literally.

Wait so are we talking about handling offroad?
>>
>>15862701
Pigfat is what they are.
>>
>>15862725
Still faster than your bus
>>
>>15862735
But the bus corners faster than your economist Mustang. :^)
