or

-02' VW GTI VR6

It comes out to the same amount of money spent.







personally id have to say id take the spec v and the cash, shit id take the spec v even w/o the extra cash. IMHO the gti looks like crap and is hardly what id view as a "performance" car.

what do you think?

well since i'm a really really biase person, i would choose nissan. but i do love golfs alot esp the vr6. yummy.

:bloated: :bloated: i would have to agree with you on the looks like crap part. dont like the golf much and the 2 door is that much more ugly. :apuke: :apuke:

Go with the Spec V...

Nismo coming to U.S. + $4000 = Lots of fun :)

Plus its just plain sexy...

I would take the Spec V too just because its a nissan and it would be cheaper to maintain. But the VR6 is faster and USUALLY has better quality.

wow the tofu crew is growing lolz. the last itme i checked on the member roster we only had 18. now we got 24~! hahaha

the '02 SE-R Spec V!:bandit: :smoka: :smoker2: :ylsuper

dont really like the VW so ill go with the Spec-V

Spec v all the way

When nismo comes out how much will a turbo coast for it.
And it ownt affect the warrenty if its nismo right ?

I would definately choose the VR6. Black w/ Black leather- Much better than the goofy red and black seats in the Spec V. The new DOHC VR6 is a gem. The GTI doesnt handle like the Nissan, but it makes up for it with quality, and power. Go to VWVortex.com look at their 400 hp turbo VR6's, good-bye Spec-V!

A 400 HP VR6? WOW now that's power :rolleyes: I remember seeing a certain Nissan with over triple that HP :) haha

Yeah, Im talking about street legal. I'd like to see you drive that car through city traffic! I test drove the SpecV two days ago, its a VERY nice car. I didnt like the shifter though, the gates were too close, too hard to get the right gear. Still a great car. I still think I'd take the GTI.;) ;)

If you get the sentra, PLEASE LOWER it! Those sit so high up on those unorthodox wheels, ugh!


I'd get the vr6 though, it's much classier and has less ricer appeal. I fell in love with a 4door golf at a car show, just because of the overall appeal of it.

i test drove the gti, it's pretty quick and it can be even faster with a simple mod chip

but i still chose the spec v because i love how the front looks and i love the interior (even though my favorite color is blue), since i have more knowledge with japanese cars, it'll be easier for me to fix up, peace :wave:
