do you mean handling as in gripping the road or power handling?
1g have the bigger turbo but 2g have higher compression but also the 1% chance of crankwalk. i may be biased becaUSE i have a 1gen though. :dunno:

i meant as in road holding in modified form, as ive never driven a 2g hard because ive never owned one, but i had a 1g and i still like how those look better, so im biased in the 1g's direction as well...

2G's, despite their asstastic multi-link suspension design.
You can also cram 275 width tires on a 2G with 9 inch wide rims. Granted they stick out quite a bit, but they'll fit with some brains.

2G's are by far superior with their ability to have fast spooling turbo's like the T25 (yes, the T25 is better than the 14b for Autocross), and the T28 varients.
They also do not have the 1G plague, which is power steering cut out at high speed. Anyone who's ever autocrossed a 1G knows what that is.

what he meant is that the power steering is speed variable, but not road speed, engine speed. as rpm's rise the power steering assists less...CyByte said:
if you corner at high rpm the power steering wont assist

a lot depends on how far you are willing to take a suspension set up. check out TNOMUD. he is a member with a WORKED 1g and i bet his setup will walk on most 2gs here. 1gs are good nice since they are cheap and you can cage them up if youre into seriously cornering (lot less than a 2g)
Check www.vfaq.com for the 1G power steering cut out fix. I did it and it works like a champ! No more steering cut on the autox course. I found the tubing at a hobby shop, use the size stated on the vfaq page.
I autox my 1G very sucessfully in ESP. What a great, warm, fuzzy feeling it is when you whoop up on V8 muscle cars! It would take alot for a "Nationally" competitive 1G, but for your average local autox, you should be fine.

Uh, no, it's set up for ROAD RACING, not autocross.
There's a huge difference.
