Default HPI Type SS vs. Super Nitro

Please answer these questions seperatly:

1. Which car is faster? (Type SS or Super Nitro)

2. Which car has better handling?

3. Which car is overall better quality?


Also, I know you have to use CA to build these cars. Which is the best to use? Thin, Medium, or thick CA?

Is O'Donnell 20% Racing fuel OK to use with these engines?

I do not use any glue on my cars except for decals. I use watered down elmers to put pictures inside the body before painting them. That is about it, unless you count locktite. That could be a kind of glue.

You should use thin CA for glueing the tires to the rims.
