Default Dune buggy? or mini sand rail

ok so im trying to make up my mind.

Dune buggy you can fit two people and have more power but a mini sand rail can have more agility etc.

Which do you prefer? *

Thanks

mini buggy basically means mc powerplant anymore. *My rail is the biggest mini around, at 112", my wheelbase is longer than some fullsize rails.

So is an Echotech or Honda VTEC powered Tazcar a Minibuggy?

I believe so...
