for 11 000 $$ your getting an rb26DETT, stock HP runs about 340, (with a tune). The car itself will clock under 15seconds... stock...
A cobalt SS starts at what 25k? why spend double the money for something that runs a lil slower, yeah you can argue IT CAN RUN 750HP ON STOCK CRANK ZOMG... but if you think about it, you could sink the other 14000 into the GTR's engine and make triple what a cobalt can do stock... for the same price? I even find myself wanting a skyline FFS...
Its the same with silvia's... there's sooo many in town along with skylines... everyone wants a RHD 5spd / 6 that makes power... and i totally agree with steve, if they made 5/6 spd aristo's ceifero's or soarer's that already have a bodykit on em, id have to jump on it lol
Why spend 20-30 K on a car that rolls off the lot... with what... maybe 300HP stock? and FWD too.. in fact, i dont even think it makes that... it gets very sad when i tlak to diff people and they are like... yeah ima buy a cobalt.. and im like, your gunna pay out the ass for a POS car thats slower than something thats under 1/2 price? what? Yeah some people like cobalts, they look decent but for 25K i could make a skyline or silvia that much better lol not to mention you could find a wrecked GTR for under 2k and repair it for less than 5K??? Anyways... my 25cents
