I have a direct comparison, my old man has a VZ series monaro with a tune (225rwkw) and I have an R34 GTT with a cooler exhaust and boost (190rwkw). Mine will just beat him in a straight line, as soon as a corner comes the R34 kills it.
It depends what sort of person you are, are you into the look and feel of your car or the sheer performance of it? If you enjoy the look and feel of a car, then a change may be great and you can enjoy something different. If its the performance side, then the one that is more modded will win haha.
So start modding! I went for a ride in the hypergear R33 with 300rwkw (but only running 270rwkw on the night) and it was spaz. It gave you a real thrill. Plus once you hit the speed, the skyline can hold more of it through the corner. My vote is for the R34. The monaro is a great car but more straight line oriented and a great cruising car.
