unless your names Hamilton they all handle well are faster than everything you'd normally drive , my advice would be have a look at mk,mnr,tiger and whichever one closest to your home, also spend a few weekends driving round the country and drive one of each then check the value for money and buy that one!

As above, depends what you want it for but more or less anything 7'esque will be very similar unless you're racing.

The only thing about the Zero is not many have been built yet, or at least not that I've heard of. RH/GBS used to have a pretty shabby reputation but under new ownership they seem to be sorting it out.

What sort of budget were you thinking and BEC or CEC?

i has looking at the lightweight from robin hood, but they went and brought out the zero, but i think they use the serria rear end, so then i started looking at mk, and i brought a mk indy delux kit. the first time i had seen one up close and got a seat in one was when i was picking up the kit at mk.

In my opinion MNR make the best kits, exploiting round section instead of box, good inboard sus and T45 options. MK and Mac 1 make sweet kits too.

Hi at the cheap end of the market. The best value for money/handling is the ST/ ARIES.

Once you move out of that bracket price range you are then up into the same area of the market as WESTFIELD. Then when it comes down to the quality accuracy fitment of components handling factory support ect ect. WESTFIELD wins every time. especially if you take into account the resale value when selling.

Cheers Matt
