Type R's in alot of ways are the "smarter" choice in terms of resale value and factory power. However, I think i would rather a VTi-R the price differance is just not worth it. I would rather spend similar money or a bit more on a S15 200SX.

In my opinion, if you have a VTi-R and you want to be able to out run a Type R, best thing you can think about is torque. A Type R only has around 2nm higher than a VTi-R. So Skunk2 Stage 1 cams, exhaust system, Intake Manifold, CAI and a remap. You will easily outrun a Type R in a straight line.

Even in handling, the Type R is still a factory car, so it still has to be ok for street driving. You could get better handling by spending the money left over on a nice set of Tein Coilovers and nice tires.

In some ways though, of course i'd rather own the R...just because of the fact it is a TYPE R.

might as well use the money to top up the budget and get a Type R.
