'02 S15 200SX vs '02 Skyline GT-T

[MattyG]

Was just checking out the Nissan NZ Website......

List price of a Skyline GT-T is $64.495
List price of a 200SX is $45.495

200SX is 184Kw, 1280Kg (SR20DET)
GT-T is 208Kw, 1420Kg (2500cc 6 cyl Turbo), has some more safety features.

Edit: Prices listed are with 6 speed manual transmission for the 200SX, and 5 speed manual for the Skyline.

Thought this might be an interesting comparison cos I can't see the extra money in the Skyline, execpt if you *need* more space maybe.

That’s actually a really good comparison. Both are really nice looking cars, however for me the Skyline wins (I’m also biased because that will be the next car that I buy! ). The Skyline has a bit more power (206kw vs 184kw) and is also a 6 cylinder which always sounds better in my opinion. The Skyline is a bit heavier (1410kg vs 1240kg), but the extra engine capacity of the Skyline (2.5L vs 2L) makes up for that. Both respond very well to modifications so that’s not a concern. I looked at both at a car dealer in Auckland and when put side by side, the Skyline just blew the S15 away in looks. It just looks so impressive and a lot more aggressive. It all depends on what you are looking for really as the S15 is a lot more sportier.

I also just wanted to point out that the GT-t was selling for $NZ40,000 a few weeks ago as that’s the end of the R34. No more R34s! Needless to say they sold out very quickly.

For Real?

Thats funny because I thought the 200SX was ending its run next year as well......seems like they are both going to be replaced by the 350Z (?)

Yep. Apparently it has annoyed rather a lot of people who paid $65,000 for their GT-t and then they reduced them to $40,000 making the resale value drop enormously. I can see how you’d be pretty peeved with that much of a drop in price if you paid full price a few weeks earlier.

Apparently they have also brought out an up-specced S15 recently. Bigger wheels, more options for the same price (I think).

True, but the list price is actually $39,995 for that version

Those prices dont sound so bad. There are other cars I'd rather have, but I'd pick the Skyline between the two of them.

S15...lighter and easy to modify...

but if it's GTR...YES!
