I have been thinking about this for a while now. It's really a tough decision...
3s-gte: -251hp -FWD -$4-6k -Need an auto-manual swap (another $2k) -Good looks -Nice sound system that I've spent time and money on. 300zx TT: -300hp -RWD -$4k after selling my car -Already manual -Looks are not as good -No sound system In conclusion, the 300zx will be faster and cheaper, but with the engine swap I will get to keep the car that I've spent much of my time on and looks better. I don't know what to do! Give me some advice... |

You have to consider that this is a choice between 2 different things. Its like apples and oranges in a way. The two cars were built differently and for different uses. If you are just tired with the Celi (very foolish point but sometimes true) and you want to upgrade to a larger sports car i would recommend the Supra instead.
Also you need to consider all the factors already mentioned earlier and others as well, Nissan vs Toyota Use 3.0 l Vs. 2.0 l engine fuel consumption (maybe not a factor in the US but surely a factor elsewere) reliability and maintenance looks etc. Basically i faced the same issue 6-7 years ago but i got the Curren instead because it was cheaper, low maintenance, better fuel economy, a toyota, looks(curren is a rare car). Last year i bought a 3SGTE to swap but then i found my GT4 so now i have both plus a spare 3SGTE engine. |
