Named for it's two engines, this craft has the best acceleration time. It also has the best handling. Its top speed is just barely less then the CX's, but its fast acceleration makes it more likely to pass the CX. The drawbacks to this craft are the short fuel length and low jumping height.

The CX has the longest fuel length, as well as the highest jumping height. The acceleration starts out fast, but quickly slows down, causing the high top speed to hardly ever be reached. The one major drawback is the poor handling.
