any car that's over 155 at the crank is a power increase from my current car. The joy of being able to own a manual will be pretty great though.
Power to weight. Your 3 weighs in at ~3,000lbs, GTST weighs in at a relatively hefty 2900lbs, pretty crazy heavy for the era. I would only need 90HP under the hood of my hybrid for it to be quicker than your 3, and 100HP to make it faster than the Skyline. The RX-7, for comparison, was a 2500lb car. 90's Civic hatches were ~2100lbs. CRX HF which everyone loved to swap was only 1820lbs.
But, I get it. You're not buying the car because it's fast (a new Toyota Camry is a fair bit faster), but because it's the one.
