if you want the s2000 body only tamiya makes that, if you want the prelude only hpi makes that. Now you have to ask yourself do you want nitro or electric. I asume you want electric since both those bodies only comes in 190mm and you can drift on any rc providing the right setup but drifting hurts your tires.

I tend not to like tamiya out of the box cars
and I hate hpi cars.

So my suggestion is go with a yokohoma or TC3 car.

like i said you can drift with any type of rc car. all you need to do is set the camber to a negative setting and you will have no problem. But it will need pratice. I mean I could even drift with a cheap radio shack car that my little cousin bought but is just not the same as the pro cars. Be prepare to sucj thousands into the car thousgh is just how it is. So i suggest get a good car rather then a cheap car because eventually you will want a faster car
