Power figures look right. 197bhp @ 5,600rpm and 195lb/ft @ 4,800rpm. I was never able to find an offical 0-60 time though when i looked in the past

I think the S14a 0-60 figure there is about a second too slow though.
Either way, all very different cars, depends which one drives better 
Audi wins for me

I have an S14a, which is ok. Skyline insurance was astronomical for me and Audi S2 wasn't really my thing.
330bhp is easy enough to obtain and equates to 0-60 in about 5 seconds apparently.

Adam - stop just talking about this crap and just buy something FFS 
A std skyline doesnt feel that fast. It'll be faster than the other two options, but still not WOW fast! Simple de-cats and breathing mods get you about 350bhp though and much much more responsive, quicker spooling etc.
The R32 GTR will cost a lot more to run than the other two. A lot more.
Have you tried insurance on any?
R32 GTR interior isnt that bad in my opion. Typically jap, but not that crap

depends how you mod and drive it, aswell as look after it 
It'll fall apart if you just crank the boost up and boot it for 10k miles

i've had the RR almost 2 years and not done 5k thats my daily 
Have you tried for Ins quote? I'm paying 650 or 800 canny mind. Prob the later. I'm 27 with no points etc.
Have you had a look on www.GTR.co.uk yet? Whats the price range your looking to get into?
I think i was very lucky getting mine for the price i paid. It was (was) imaculate inside, and the exterior is amazing for a 15yr old car. It was basically a standard car though.
