franks; I mean the price difference between the two is sooo great. if i got a second hand 03, with some work ie http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/!c...rch_distance=25
thats 600hp, for $63,000
I would still have change from the $80,000 i would spend on the GTR,then i could spend the $17,000 diference on more upgrades! like maby some nos etc!!!
to the others that replied, once again; IM NOT TRYING TO START AN ARGUMENT, I LOVE BOTH CARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
please dont start quoting one sided facts and figures at me "Subaru never once win JGTC championship in japan" because (and i could be wrong, it might have been beaten by now) but didnt a WRX (maby the HKS) absolutly demolish the record for drifting? and in relation to"Subaru never once win JGTC championship in japan" whe did you see a gtr beat a wrx in the WRC? its all wheel drive....so where is it???? SEE, you can throw these points back and forth all year, and still not get anywhere!
once again, i could be wrong (probably am)
but if the gtr weighs 1560kgs and the wrx is 1217kgs, and both are 206kws, then wouldnt the wrx win on kws/kg?
gtr=0.132 kws/kg @ 206kws
wrx=0.169 kws/kg @206kws
and if you take into account that the 206 of the gtr is understated and it really is 260kws (arguable), then
gtr=0.166 kws/kg
wrx=0.169 kws/kg
then ther is the 1/4 mile...in stock form the gtr is said to do it in 14sec's and the sti in 13.5, now thats half a second faster for a car that NEW will cost $55k, compared to a second hand gtr at $80k
lets not sit here arguing, i need help in buying my next car. i need facts, i just need a good reason to buy the gtr over the wrx!
