Most cars out there are VERY good. You really can't go wrong. Check out the SG though, if you have the chance. It's really a fantastic car, and quite affordable. ...and customer service is truly second to none.
Just for reference, a fellow team mate put the SG into the A-main this weekend at the 'Dave Mapston Memorial Race' in Spokane. He was up there running with the newest MP9's (which is a great car!) and Mugens, Agamas, and so on. It's world class, for certain!

Both are quality cars and are contenders in all aspects. Can't go wrong with either choice, personally I would choose one that someone is running at the track. If your track support is there for both cars then the choice is all yours.

Run whatever has more setup and parts support at your local track. That will make your racing experiences a LOT more enjoyable.
It's always the $2.99 part that ends someone's race day.

There sure seems to be a lot of chatter on the mp9. The carbuas been out for awhile and all of a sudden it's in every "which car should I buy" type thread. Is it really that good of a car I mean the parts are very expensive. I know it comes all race setup with option parts and all but t's still a kyosho and what I see at my local track is they tend to break. Just wondering why the k car is getting so much attention.

I would honestly wait, at this point, for when Serpent provides all their changes in the new kits. Mainly the radio tray to fix the issues people have had with throttle servo failures. The car is very strong and is a very easy car to drive fast. Parts are becoming more and more readily available as well. Also, by the time you get the couple little option parts for the Serpent (like the rear arm mount to get 3* antisquat, sway bars, springs, etc), you'll still come in under the MP9 and have a great car.
Like what most people will say though... it really depends on what you have easily available to you. I can be biased and say Serpent just like Jon says a O'Donnell, but it's really what is not going to be a headache for you to get parts and help at your track.

There is no 'Best Car', ... I got the O'Donnell Z01B because it was tough as nails and race ready out of the box. I'm biased, of course, but a sponsored driver is just as biased as a non-sponsored driver when it comes to what they drive.

There is a prototype "SG" truggy out there. It runs really well. I don't know if it is "lighter", I don't know what "everything else" encompasses, but I couldn't really care.

how about you go cheaper and get the Hara edition d8! Noth only is the car tough, it comes completly upgraded out of the box with a perfect set up. Comes with every up grade needed including aluminum hubs, and all light wight parts and a 3mm lightweight milled chassis. CANT GO WRONG!!!
