You guys do know that the power steering on the NA2 turns off after about 20mph or something like that. (I think I read that somewhere once upon a time)
Basically it just makes parallel parking easier, unless you "track rats" drive REALLY slow around the track.
Having owned both, my preference is the NA2... but obviously you have to take ownership on a case by case basis.
The stronger engine more than makes up for the extra weight... and the gearing (stock) of the 6spd is just spaced way better than the stock 5spd. (btw weight is pretty damn relative since some of you guys weigh 150lbs and some of you are probably pushing 250lbs) :wink:
As for the roof, well, it's pretty much the coolest thing ever when you take it off.
:smile:
Honestly, at the end of the day, both cars are equally entertaining and you're really splitting hairs when you compare the two. The pros/cons list pretty much equals out on both cars when you're all done.
