my question to the original poster, did you test drive any other cars before this purchase?

I did test drive both. the rtype is much faster and has better brakes. I would love a rtype.
Sadly it is outside of my budget. also, the car doenst represent great value for money in japan as the tuning is done in england and then imported to japan. also, the tax and purchase costs, I have recently found, push the difference between the cars to more than 13000 usd. this takes the overall costs up to about 33000 usd.

whats the difference between @K20A3 whereas we get the K20A2?
