This is my actual car.

http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/!cs_content.private_vehicle?total_rec=19&search_distance=25& price_min=30000&vehicle_id=3256472&selected_model=3&state_id =2&current_rec=11&search_type=20&model_id=110&used_rec=0&mak e_id=5&category_id=3

The pics aren't that great! Looks nicer in real life

I'm not too worried about the power, I know 10k on a s15 will make it a weapon and would beat a 350z that had 10k spent on it.

I'm 25 and i was thinking maybe im getting a little too old to have this s15. Looks more of an early 20's car thats all. While the 350z has a bit more class (I think) and power to go with it.

Hey locodave,

I had my 2000 S15 Spec R from brand new for 4 years, upgraded to my 350 new just over 2 years ago. You will notice a huge difference!!! 350 has solid power as soon as you push the go pedal!!! No lag.

S15 is exceptionally agile & tiny turning circle, 350 not quite so agile & turning circle pretty good for a wheelcentric car. But in terms of handling a 350 will have stock 200sx anytime. Haha, done it many a time. My personal opinion stock braking system & handbrake in a 200sx is better than a 350 by far.

350 is a wider car so you have to be a bit for selective about carparks to avoid door dings.

Only have to have 350 serviced every 10k's, S15 (turbo) every 5k's - savings there, but will be eaten up by petrol bill will be about 1/5 more.

Both 200's & 350's have window problems.

Don't know what insurance is like in the USA, but in NZ you pay more to insure a turbo car.

That's about all I can think of for now. Good luck if you choose to go the Zed route, you won't regret it. A happy, well set up 350 is a stunning drive, easily comparable with many European cars!!!

stay with the S15, I like the way that thing looks plus its boosted out of the factory and it's light and cheaper to make it go faster with all the SR20 parts out there! If they sold the S15 here i'd have nabbed that instead
