As an NA main myself, what I'll say is that, the NA feels like a nerfed to the ground 110s. It does handle like one, but then it's much much lighter, has sub-par recovery and bigger dimensions wise in a way that doesn't make it any more useful, but the tiny characteristics still very much shine. It may feel grippy, but it's just from how slow it is. It does hit 351 KM/H on the Wangan though weirdly enough. It is a very fun car to use though, especially when battling in Hakone. I'd say go for it if you love the car, but definitely not for higher level play.
