stylus or fisher fury

[simonbaines]

Plan to use the car for road fun plus very occasional track,anybody have any idea which is the better car for my needs and why.

Very little in it. They both were the same car originally (Jeremy Philips of Sylva cars designed it).

The only thing I could see was the SSC Stylus has a boot, but the Fisher Fury didn't. There are also minor chassis differences now, and obviously slightly different bodies.

Talk to each, talk to owners (search the web) and that may give you some hints.

I would go for the SCC, for the practicallity.

I echo exactly what Sparks said.

I would also go with the Stylus for the reason that it has a boot, you may only want it for a nice sunny day blat but you may like to pop into town while your out, a bit of boot space is always handy to have.

They're both great cars, whatever you choose, have fun

Agree with what Sparks and Graham.J have said and just like to point out (if you weren't already aware) that it's the Stoneleigh kit car show this weekend. Obviously gives you good chance to compare the cars side by side (almost) and talk to a number of owners.

I'm currently building a Fury (v slowly...). My main reason for choosing it over the stylus was that I prefer the Fury Spider body style for looks as well as for being simpler for a first time builder like myself. Fisher are also more conveniently located for me to get to.

I did decide before the Stylus RT was launched though, so that may make the decision even closer now...

Whatever you choose you'll end up with a damn fine car.

I'm bias, I have a Stylus and love it. But, if this is your first kit, go for the Fury, they are possibly a little simpler to build. But if you want an everyday car for occasional track days the Stylus is better;
More inside room, a boot and a one piece body (apart from the doors/bonnet and boot)

Slight difference to above comments, the body, although it looks simlar is quite different between the Fury and Stylus! As is the chassis, the suspension uses similar geometry, but the actual construction method is quite different.

If you want more info, happily drop me an email off line.

Cheers,
Mark
