anyway,
According to expereienced 240 guys who track or race them, Despite the heavier weight, a S14 240 will always be faster than an S13.
That doesn't make any sense to me, but I don't talk to folks who track or race 240's. I can't think of a single reason why an S14 would be any faster than an S13. But all I've ever heard, be it C&D/R&T, Dr. Preece, or whomever, is that the S13 is every bit the equal of the S14, and a little stiffer stock for stock. You could be right, and probably are, but to me, the extra teeny-weency bit of performance edge that may or may not exist in an S14 does not justify the rediculous premium on price.

1995 SE Coupe: 4,881 (retail)
(from Edmunds Note also that in 1994, there was only the S13 convertable in the US, which blew monkey)
That said, in the buyers market for an S13 vs an S14 (and i was in it for a looong time), the price dispairity is much, much larger. And S14's don't have a HUD. That should settle it for anyone!
Bling-bling on the headz-up, y0!(p.s. I think pop up headlights in all of their manifestations are ugly and stupid.)
