Faster in terms of what bro? Do you know the details? Drag? ROlling start? Or top speed?Perhaps its lighter?
Actually thats what i heard from my friend as well. His FD2 will lose to FD1 on 1st and 2nd gear. Only 3rd gear onwards the DOHC and higher CC can whack the FD1.
before i got my LGLS, i was looking at FD as well, and i noticed that the is a slight difference in size of FD1 and 2. Also, the Honda sales guy told me that vtec is set to come in at an earlier RPM range (around 1-2kl) for FD1. Maybe thats why FD1 is quite peppy and responsive?Not too sure.
But FD2 is a heavier car maybe cause leather seats ,rims, an all the added accessories (hahaha).2.0ES is really fast...cause the horsepower is about the same as FD2 but the car is lighter. FD2 wins in terms of handling, corner and stability at top speed.
But whatever lar, i'm super bias and i think Lancer still better in everyway :P
nb- i dont know if its me or not, but in terms of power, is there a difference between GLS and GT? SC told me that the ECU is different as well as the settings for both. Is GT tune for better acceleration? seems that everyone on the forum has no problem smoking FD2 on drag...but i don't think my GLS can. Feels sluggish especially 2nd gear..
oh btw, where are my mannersmerry christmas and a happy new year to everyone!
