Default stuck in a bind....advice please


so...ive always been one to clown people for buying cars that are already hooked up....example, buying a turbo integra instead of buying a stock one and doing the work yourself.....

i have the option of buying a 13 sec 96sc2, or spending that money to build my motor in my 93sl2.............i hate the fact that id be getting rid of my 4 door, because ive grown fond of it, and i would def feel like a hypocrit by buying a car thats been built by someone else.........

on the other hand, the sc2 has all the mods i was going to do to my sl2, and i can take whatever i want off my car, ie..springs, rims, strut bars, etc, and transfer over to the sc2

my car is blue black, the sc2 is green..............im stuck...dont want to switch to the sc2, but itll be less of a hassle to have the car and I wont have to have any down time......

what would you do?

sounds like a good deal as long as you know the car and the guy who built it

Sounds like a good buy, but I doubt it runs 13s or even low 14s on motor.
