the S13's are cheaper, and much less likely to be harrassed by cops, due to their "uglier" design (read: less flashy)
the easiest for swapping is the 91-94 S13 (though the 94 was offered as a convertible only, which would work against you for speed). and they are still pretty cheap.
street racing sucks, i did it, i got caught, i spent a day in jail, lost my car for 30 days and $2000. it sucks, shit.
and the S13 DOES have more power potential. the newer ones may have VTC, but that only helps drivability, not ultimate power. the S13 has a highport cylinder head which flows better than a S14 or S15 VTC head, even if you hogged it out, due to the way air and fuel enter the chamber from above with little impedence. most of the big power guys turn off or convert to an older head because the VTC creates problems with tuning and aftermarket cams.
the only advantage to the S14 and S15 are better stock HP numbers. if you dont want to swap the turbo, and want more power, than go with a newer one. remember though, the money spent on a newer motor can easily be spent upgrading the older one.
but, i dont want you to be fast, unless you take it to the track. you risk more than yourself when street racing, remember that. i wish ihad thought of that ahead of time (and no, i didnt hit anyone, just got caught)
