Trying to read this forum, everyone has a different opinion, was looking for a summed differences in the cars abilities.

Thanks!

Short answer is yes.

The 102 is smoother over bumps with better mid corner rotation. On asphalt it also makes more grip. The t-bar cars ARE better on pavement. I had 101 and liked the car very much on carpet but it does have a few flaws. The included front end setup has insufficient front uptravel adjustment and has durability issues. The rear suspension of both models is of equivalent durability. The 101 chassis is too stiff for asphalt and the 102 chassis is a bit soft for higher grip carpet.
