my. entire. point. missed. there is no difference... rare car is a rare car is a rare car

would you pay $10-$15k for an authentic and numbered SilEighty? Probably not... but the Japanese still do. why? because rare car is a rare car!

also, last time i checked... nicely maintained and clean examples of the 180sx and S13 Silvia are starting to fetch $8000-$15,000 over in Japanland... just food for though
