They are identical. The only reason an RB5 handles better is 17" wheels & a solid rear bulkhead.

Even though they claim an RB5 has a sold bulkhead, a piece of black cardboard and a flimsy bar is hardly solid!!

I removed my cardboard and bar and fitted a thick piece of wood to mount my ICE on and a rear strutt brace. It's much more solid on the rear. I think a MY00 and a RB5 are identical in terms of handling. Don't think the wheels make any difference
