<<For about 3K, you can almost make the SE as fast as a stock SE-R.� Part of that 3K difference though to me goes to purchasing a car with FAR more potential than the SE.>> This is the reasoning that I gave my Si friend for going to a "better abled" car. You can take something like a 1.6L or 1.8L Honda motor well over 300 hp (according to him), but with a used 3kGT, a 300 ZXTT, you can go well beyond the 300hp w/o thinking twice, and still spend roughly the same amount of money. The difference is when you dump Mo-Lot-Sta-$ in the motor of the Si, it will be strung way the hell out with nothing left to give and putting out what?....600hp? Importing a Skyline engine to dump into a 300 ZX should bring you into the 800hp range (I've seen a 1100hp Skyline on the cover of SCC), which I would hope would offset the difference in weight. At any rate, I don't plan on getting this serious about driving hp #'s up. I just want something fun to drive that looks sporty and is fast. A 3kGT might be bought for the right price, but I'll probably be buying a AWD Eclipse turbo or a Celica GT-S. My 200 will be my toy, and if I have it long enough, it will probably see a 2.0L one day, but for now, that's not in my plans. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ST3~ '95 200 SX-SE w/Sus.
