This post must be a joke.

Do you NOT know, that the 180 IS a S13 & S14.

Also, how can the 180sx be the 2nd best silvia ever made? 180sx & silvia are different body styles & come with different engine options.
The 180 is it's own car as is the silvia. Granted they share the same chassis. But they are still different cars.

yeah even though the 180 is a s13 chassis number i voted for that as i do not like the coupes. the 180 is only a s13 not an s14.

im assuming when he is saying 180 he means the hatchback and the s13 the coupe and the s14 explains itself, he's probably new to 240's nothin to jump on him about, just explain, rps-13-hatchback
s-13-coupe's
s-14- well its an s-14
but mine hands down is the s13 coupe. thier the lightest and i like the way they look but thats just my opinion.

180 has better weight balance because of that big chunk of glass balancing out more than the s13, i'm in referrence to drifting. and the s14 is heavy and longer and it is indeed a good car , yes...but for drifting...the 180 is better...but it's all the driver most of all

I gotta rep the s14, no one mentioned it, For daily driving and comfort, i have had both s13 and s14, i can tell you right now, after only having my s14 for a week, that it is a better daily driver / comfort level, true s13 has better weight distribution, i just personally prefer the looks of the s14. Potential drag and maintenence is too broad, i mean same engine, different bodies... the s14 was used in the drift bible however..........

Back me up Raine, show th s14's some love =D

Just like the look and feel of the S14 better. S14 kind of looks like a big brother. Can't beat the resemblance to the Skyline either. But both get much respect.

Talking

S14 especially if you have 2 of them

Nah seriously I think it depends of what do u want the car for,for drifting I think the S13 would be the king of all b/c of it lightweightness ,for Driving Comfort ,Really High Overall Peformance the S14 ,but if u want a mean machine with lots of potential ,looks and style that would make most H badges cars cry then the S15 is it, I have driven and ride in all S chassis cars except the 180SX and S15 but in my heart there is 2 S14 sitting on my driveway and thats where my blessing is gonna go .Just my 02. cents
