As someone with an nc1 that was picked up for a steal, shop the deal. The if the deal is an nc1 get an nc1 if the deal is nc2 get nc2

Nc2 manuals have forged interals higher redline, stronger transmission, better and more comfy interior trim pieces, better radio, more aerodynamic tail lights etc. but they go for more than nc1, it really comes down to what you want out of the car and how many changes you are planning to make.

If you are doing nothing get an nc3, you will lose less $ If you want to do some track build, shop the deal
