Default SKYLINE R33 GTR OR EVO 6 OR ANYTHING ELSE?

not a ford topic but im sat here thinking (again) about another toy to use until sold.

i know they are not a direct comparison but what are the pros and cons of both cars.ive had an evo 4 and thought it was good fun,but got bored quickly.(especially when i had to put another engine in it!)

i have close to me a m reg gtr r33 with 68k which can be bought for a tad under 9k.
or i have a couple of evo 6's-an icelle blue t reg one-cat c but only 8k,or a silver t reg one for a tad under 9k.

all are pretty much standard.
its only a short term thing-it will be up for sale while i run it

anyone?

whichever makes the most dough surely?

I like them both though.

The evo 6 is a much better car than the evo 4, on the surface you'd think it's just a wider track and a set of arches but they are noticeably quicker.

The GTR is a much more solid feeling car, won't initially feel as quick, but you soon realise they are FAST in a sort of 'let them have their legs in 3rd gear and watch the speed fly' kind of way. They feel so capable, like they can handle a lot of power, brakes feel great, chassis feels ready to take 500bhp in it's stride.

i have seen a gtr on a p reg at a Main dealer for 11495.
been there ages, i thought it was unusual for a main dealer to have
a old godzilla on the front next to brand new gear.
might take a kick in the nuts and get it gone.
will come with a warrenty,which is nice if you try breaking
the sound barrier

To buy and sell one i think you'll make life much easier for yourself with the evo. There a mint 6 RS for sale on MLR, possible been on here aswell that should fetch 13k ish....thats a very good example though.

What is your reason for wanting any of the cars? Commute, weekend toy, project, rally?
