200Sx S15 Or R34 Gtt

[Grey]

My apologies if this topic has been covered many times before, I have read through them and there's no real conclusive answer.

The time has finally come to make an upgrade. My mate who used to own an S15 loved it, said the handling was better than any skyline, it was zippy (light weight) didn't steer like a boat and had decent power. Whereas all I can see now, are paper figures the R34 GTT being ~120kg more heavier but having a LOT more modable power available. I asked my friend about this, and he said that 120kg separates the cars in two different worlds (HUGE DIFFERENCE). Having driven an R34 stock GTT and sat in a stock S15, I can tell that stock for stock, the S15 is lacking by far, whereas driving the GTT, the RPMs climb so fast it's insane.

That being said, the S15 didn't have much low end torque either, I can't even say that it had as much torque as my naturally aspirated R34 did.

I've asked many prestigious car owners who have owned multiple S15s, EVOs, and R34s over their time, and they keep telling me the S15 was the best out of all of them. I just don't see how good the S15 is.... I mean 120kg lighter but it has the SR20 which is a prestigious engine, but certainly not as invincible nor can it obtain easy power as the RB25DET can?

So I'd like you fellas on this forum to tell me 3 things:

1. Does 120kg on road make a HUGE noticable difference?

2. If so, does the easy power of the RB25 make up for this difference?

3. Ultimately, which car would be best for fun, torque, daily and track?

Cheers!

drive a s15. don't just go off sitting in the passenger seat as it doesn't give you a true feel for the performance of the car.

as for the reason why all the other threads have been inconclusive is the exact same reason as why this one will be just as inconclusive. everyone has their own opinion. just drive the 2 and buy whichever you prefer. plain and simple. no point buying a car based off other peoples opinion if you don't agree with it.
