200sx vs Prelude Thu, 03 July 2003 09:48 Go to previous message
Hi guys, I AM a fan of Toyota and they are the best and I love them very much but... for what I wan't they dont have Smile

I have $20k to spend on a car (yes its all mine! I earned it) but I am 22 (in 2 months) and insurance is killing me!

I was so close to getting a s14 200sxx turbo, until I got quotes. There is no fkin way I am paying $3k (justcars) or $3.7k (RACQ) a year for insurance! I have a flawless record, and I still get treated like a hoon.

The insurance prices for a 93-96 (whatever model that is) vti-r Prelude are alot more reasonable, but then I miss out on the rear-wheel turbo bit!

I was hoping some of you guys could tell me how a Prelude Vtir 96 model compares in performance (primarily accelaration) to a s14 200sx turbo (minor mods, up to 5k on engine on both cars).

I expect the 200 will win in this category, but by how much? Is it worth the $2000 extra a year in insurance? Would a vti-r integra be alot better than the prel?

The last thing I want is to by a car, and then wish I got something faster Smile

Thanks guys!
