Which 2 buy?

Can someone explain the wheelbase differences between the 4 cars......I like the skyline but everyone keeps talkin about trouble w/ them. So I like the honda 2nd overall but it has a short wheelbase Now I'm leaning more towards the cinnamon supra because I dislike the rsx.

Any Suggestions

Thanks
Hunter D

I have a Skyline and a Supra. Love them both. So far no problems with either one. Some of these cars have had quality probs, but it's just luck of the draw. I'm sure that the cars are built on the same assembly line no matter which body ends up on it later. Just get what you like and have fun. Keep your receipt. If it breaks, take it back. You tend to read about a lot of probs here on the net, but there are lots of others having fun with their cars and not posting.

As for wheelbase, I believe the RSX has a shorter one. I don't believe it that would be a problem or a blessing, really. Maybe a bit quicker to turn, but we're talking about cars that are only 6" long to start with. Just get one and enjoy.

As for me, I just got through running both of them on the porch for a while this morning. I find it relaxing. My wife and neighbors think I'm a little nuts since I'm 35 years old and still play with toys.

Well I'm a little older than 35 and I know I am nuts! Seriously, I own a white supra and the silver RSX. I like both and they both run great so far. I like the full size RSX so I bought that one first. It gets the most use simply because I am using it to get used to the performance of these cars. There does not seem to be a significant performance/handling difference between them. I think you will be happy with any car you choose.

That's true. The Supra does have more clearance than the Skyline, especially with a body kit. Not a prob if your surface is smooth, though.

Had no real troubles with my supra other than the steering mis-alignment that I cannot seem to correct by messing with the motor pinion. but thats most likely something I did to it when installing the bearing kit, I prolly bent something.
