I've heard exactly the contrary, it is also the same tranny that is in the maxima, realistically making 80 more horses than the sentra with no issues...
*EDIT: more to say...
On the topic at hand, he didn't mention whether he was comparing 1st or second gen GSXs or S13s or S14s and the cost incurred with them will also be an issue... If he is simply planning on a swap, as S13 with a blown engine can be had for peanuts and you will spend little time undoing someone else's fuckups. On the same token, you can get a 95 or a 96 at a wonderful price if it has a few miles on it (again, swap/suspension, so it wouldn't matter as much) but I have noticed that 1st gen GSXs are many times ragged out, and the second generations are ungodly expensive (at least here in NC). Personally, as if anyone would be shocked, I say go with a 95-96 and go with the swap, or you can get a used KA (I paid 400 for engine/tranny and FOUND it had a low mile ACT stage 2) cheap to build up a KA-T for what you would spend on just the car for a second gen GSX...
