It would cost more than 1500 dollars for all those performance parts, at least for quality names, but yes if he had all that then he would beat, not crush a 200SX with similar mods(a JWT ECU instead of the BSR), but then he would still owe about 6-7K on the car, and I don't know what his financial budget allows, other than the 9K he has for the whole thing. Again I am not bashing the new Spec-V's, I am just saying for the money, as in the 9K he has, you can have a 97 200SX and still have about 4K to throw around on bolt ons or turbos which can make it much much faster than the Spec-V stock for the same price or less. Everything depends on how much money you have and how much you are willing to spend. Personally if I had 9K, I would buy a rust-free B13 Sentra from the south for $1000, and swap in a SR20DET that throws down 205HP on 7lbs of boost stock, and still have 5-6K left over for anything else I wanted. But I like tackling bigger projects like that, and sleepers.
