Probes and MX-6s suck

I was driving and this MX-6 started reving up his engine and all of that crap, exhaust, intake, and it sounded much like a 6, I don't even know if they made a mx-6 with a 4, but im in a 99 toyota avalon XL bone stock, just bought it a week before, we ran to a redlight and I turned my od off and my ect on and ew both guned it, he had a clutch, could hear the shifts, and I was still ahead of him, he was taking his shifts to atleast 5500 and I was just holding down the pedal. I have had more problems with Chevy Xtremes then with probes and MX-6's, I don't know why everyone buys them and thinks they can burn stock 6.6 second eclipse's.

I personally own a 94 Toyota MR2 Turbo and I smoke all probes, let them be turbo or not, MR2 turbos stock get 5.9 second says the factory, and I get about 4.9 with the modifications I currently run.

The reason I'm looking at the forum is for information on a 240sx, my friend wants one and I was thinking what we would have to do to make it fast, he also owns a hardbody with a KA24DC and that engine isn't the best, v-6 nissan would probably be better.

Any good info on 240sx?

that video doens't prove anything. the probe missed a shift, and the probe had extra weight *passenger*. and the car that the probe was racing is a supercharge volkswagen carrado. those cars are not slow by any means. so that video doesn't prove anything, in fact i was impressed with the probes performance of how he hung in there despite all that.

my sister had a 1990 3.0 v6 lx probe. it had a mazda engine but it definitely was a 3.0. I kinda wish i had actually given a shit about it cuz i'd have taken some pictures. but i did get stuck driving it when she went away to college cuz i had totaled the 200sx SE-R I owned prior to my Max. I don't really know anything about the probes maybe there was a swap done before we bought it but i did a few oil changes on it and it had a mazda 3.0 v6 valve cover . i remember when we first got it i thought it was funny how we kept getting 3.0's. me and my dad have maxima's my mom and my other sister have tauruses and she had the probe.
i also thought it was funny how much better the nissan 6's were compared to the fords but that's a whole different thread
