Default 201 or B4?

Hi all. Is it worth me replacing my year old ftB4 with a 201? I saw one run at the regional on sunday and it looked very impressive and I've been offered one at a very good price(uk stock at PBM) and must say I fancy it but....should I? Anyone else come from a B4 into a 201? All advice gratefully received.

I haven't had a B4. I have a 201 and I am over the moon with it

So I of course I would say get one as they are fantastic. I usually run 4wd with my DB01R so my 201 is the first proper 2wd and it is competative straight from the box...

I could praise this car all day, I have been racing it nearly two months now. Massively impressed

You really do need to get one

had both, and I really liked the B4's front end, but the rear always felt like it was dancing about. The 201 has the front end bite of the B4, but the rear feels far more planted.

I'm currently driving a B4, 201x and cougar, alternating between race meetings and sometimes racing in both 2wd class's.

I will say this.......you are not giving up anything at all by driving your B4. If anything, its my 'go to' car, as I know it very well. Have not had the other cars to setup to how I like yet. But the B4 out of the box is incredible. 201x needs some setup suffering from understeer, cougar is the opposite dialing some steering out of it.

b4 is a great car though, not too sure about the 201 but looks very similar to the b4.
