K, let's see here. For it to be a "fair" comparison, we'd have to take MSRP pricing rather than dealership specials. Hell, I've seen a dealership here in Vegas selling 2001 Tibs for $14,000 with EVERY option.

I drive a slow car.
0 to 60 in 11 seconds (look out!)

cougart · Sep 4, 2001

well, looks like the tibby is the better car, definately looks better. Atleast in my mind

2001 Tiburon
Black with Blacked out windows
Alpine cd player
More mods to come slowly

Well the Sentra has more HP and Torque, but with a $800 more price tag. You could take that cash and get an exhaust and intake and get more power out of the Tibby.

Draven0214 · Sep 4, 2001

I think the Tib would win with the right driver. And the Tib is definatley better looking<img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Honda + Mitshubishi = Shark Food!

cougart · Sep 4, 2001

Plus the tib has a better warranty

Hyundai_Fan · Sep 4, 2001

Yeah, I saw few picture of Sentra SE-R which was codeveloped by those Skyline team. It looks very racy, and cool. Not sure if they changed the design since I last saw it...

guilty · Sep 4, 2001

Yeah that is what I was thinking f the se when you could get the se-r. But what about the MP3 they are pretty sweet too.

leftside_ryder · Sep 4, 2001

SE-R? Speaking of the Skyline dev. team... if you gotta go Nissan might as well go for the gusto and wait for the R-35 Skyline next year .....<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>

guilty the mazda mp3 is a beautiful car also, but to my understanding it is hideously underpowered.

the mp3 is one of the few wagons i would drive, it looks so pimpish, like the wrx wagon. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>

hyundaixtreme · Sep 4, 2001

Um just so there is no confusion the MP3 doesn't come in a wagon...however the wagon is called the Protege`5

guilty · Sep 4, 2001

Yeah the MP3 is the four door version. Comes with front and rear swaybars. Front strut brace. Full audio system with one 12 a mp3 player headunit. Short shifter, already has a hole in the engine compartment for cold air and some other goodies. Not bad for 18,000.<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>

Rudy · Sep 5, 2001

my bad, thought it was an mp3 wagon. i still love it though.<img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>

Kool turned out to be friendly comparison. I think they are pretty closely matched.
