Hmm.... Its a bit questionable.
If they're both the same price, the AW11 must be in pristine condition or the Silvia is in bad nick or with really high Km's.
Is space an issue for you? AW11's have none. At least Silvia's are 2 + 2.
What can you tell us about the cars, like the condition and ammount of Km's?
I'll tell you this, you'll never have to change a cambelt in the Silvia
hehe

the silvia will be alot slower
the mr2 will not be as nice to drive
the silvia q's looks terrible without side kits
AW11's are little rocket ships
so it looks like all signs point to you getting a rotary
hmm personally i would go for a silvia...

Go the AW, it'll be quicker and if the shocks etc arent rooted, handle better.
Of course, if you have friends, then the Silvia is probably the better option, unless your friends are contortionists/masochists

If they were both manual id go for the Aw11
But since the silvia is manual, go for that.
Why dont you just aim for an S13 instead of 14 and get a turbo model? around the same price if you look hard.

power oversteer requires instant torque delivery.... (high rpm + full throttle = full boost, QUICK). But in an N/a this is alot harder to do.
Silvias are NOT good n/a drift cars.....
an ae86 is a good n/a drift car....
manuals are better on fuel, faster, and feel much more sporty.
only get an auto if its a v8, deisel, or just a cruiser.

Man i have an SR20 and it is the best engine in the world. Its so fast and cheap and never breaks down.
Just see the silvia forums and they will go on for hours how no engine comes close to the stunning SR20.
Im kidding, go with the silvia anyway.

As long as you do regular oil changes (Less than 10,000km), then an SR20 will last forever.

Yeah, they dont like to be left for a while between services. Or driven through puddles. I think that conrod is still at work, might try to get a pic of it.
