Some ones buys a new $30K car and another person buys a solid S14 shell for $3K and have $27K to drop into it. That will have the brand new car owner shaking because they know that the S14 will not be a walk in the park.
That is what I tell my friends anyway....lol

But at that point you're building a track car lol
It's simply almost impossible to compete with these new cars with our old ass nissans without building a track car or dumping tons of money into..most likely both.
I remember reading an article when the 370z came out and they track tested a STOCK 370z to a caged 350z and said the 370z's chassis was more rigid. The 350z is lightyears away from the s-chassis in terms of chassis development and the 370z is better even in stock form really speaks to how much better chassis design is with each model.
With that being said I love my s14 not for it's superior chassis, but it's simplicity and overall connection you feel with the road. These new cars make me feel like I'm driving an M1 abrams with the lower visibility, high dash board, high door line, etc.
