AWD or Stage 2

hey guys, i need to know what one i should put in my skyline, should i get the AWD and save up for a nml motor, or should i just go ahead and get the s2 motor, i guess what i am really asking is will this car drift with a RWD and a s2 as good as awd with stock motor (until i get the stage 10) thnx

all wheel drive is crappy 4 getting your drift on unless you do it the cheap way and put tape on the wheels. i say if you want drift get the 2stage motor if you want normal cornering get the AWD

I have AWD and the stage 2 drift motor in my skyline and its drifts just fine. I would go with the AWD first.

Well, its depends what type of surface you have. I can drift really well with the stage 2 motors. So I guess the stage 2 motors would be your best bet.

i would get rayovac ic-3's. they make the car alot faster!! i got the stage two moters first and they are an improvment on the stock moter. my next upgrade will be the awd kit, prob for cmas. i dont know if the nlm moter is worth it($50!!).

Yea, I'd have to agree with you. I wouldnt pay for a $50 motor for a $50 car.

the $50 dollar motor is just too much for 50 dollar car.
