240 vs supra

Hey i know these can be objectionable and overanalyzed but just out of curiousity which do u think would win in a 1/4 mile? (considerin both manual, drivers are equal) If you dont kno or dont care, feel free to flame.

92 240sx w/ modded s13redtopsr20 +t78 (410hp)

or

MKIV TT Supra with BPU (460)

I'll say the 240 because supra's are big fat pigs

good question...Supra's are known to be better in a straight line, whereas 240's shine in the twisties...so even though the 240 is lighter...i think the Supra might have it. take it to the road course though, and i think the 240 might win...not sure.

this IS a thread for the car comparisons forum...but since you want the opinion of people in here, i'll leave it...

first of all, a plain ol redtop and a new snail isnt gonna give you 400+ hp.

second , what kind of BPU are on the supra and what kind is it (mkiii, mkiv twin turbo...etc)

third, get outta here with that question thats dumb

can you settle down a little bit? you've been really hostile with your posts lately. it's a legit question, and he can ask it if he damn well pleases.

although you're right about the HP numbers. i must have missed that. a red-top with a T78 most likely won't break 400...

this should really be in car races or some other forum topic... and there's no way you can get a 240 to 400hp that easily. now a 240 with a modded rb engine, that will win.

i'm moving this to "car comparisons" now...

Hey sorry, I should have posted thin in car comparisons in the 1st place, and as for redtops hitting 400hp, it's not at all as difficult or rare as u guys r makin it seem

If it was a 240SX w/a KA-T w/around 415rwhp...I'd give it to the 240SX...since my buddy's ex KA-T was the bomb and was killing Vipers left and right...

:bloated:

Damn! IT would be nice to see the 240 beat the supra in a straight line! That would be one of those times that u can recall in 50 yrs because it seems so rare! But if u take it to the mountains thats a different storY! Damn supras! I wonder if the flamers at SRO will clown on supras! Damn that bug me!

Do you mean Jay's old 240? I see that you are from FL, maybe it's Orlando.

Anyway, why not drop in an RB25DETT to even up the comparison.

I am from North Florida when in school and call South Florida home when I am there...

so right now UF is home...hehe...

But yea I was friend's w/Jay

Anyways...RB25DETT? Umm...I think you mean RB26DETT or RB25DET

supra hands down 240sx with sr motors sucks for 1\4 mile a ka-t motor will do a quicker 1\4 time then a sr red top.. sorrie to say even tho i love nissan i got to say supra hands down..

Ok, I'm not very familiar with the RB series of engines obviously. Before I met Jay I never really cared about Nissan's and especially not 240's. I've always been a Mustang guy, but now I'm torn between Stangs, 240's, and Turbo Miata's. I need one of each, all 12 seconds or faster.

You cant argue w/415rwhp and 2800 lbs...that all equates into high 11's baby...proven too...I have the video on my PC

I used to have that video also, might still be somewhere on my computer.

Too bad it couldn't hook up. Could have run at least low 11's. That's just a guestimation considering that Mustangs will run high 9's on 500rwhp weighing 3,100lbs. It's been so long since I've studied hp vs. ET/mph data that I can't really remember though.

No doubt that car was sick fast though. Even when it only ran mid 12's it was very fast. My Mustang would do that on slicks with a near perfect launch and his car did it on Advan racing slicks.

hey guys...just curious and had a view since i own a supra...The mk4 with the 2jz would smoke the 240sx but you are talking about two DIFFERENT car classes..the 240sx even the 95+ are only a 4000 dollar car and maybe 10000 with most mods you can make...then mk4 is around 30k for a nice twin turbo...so if you think a 240sx can hang with a supra then by all means the 240sx is the winner in overall...1/3 of the price...

Now if you want a legit comparison, compare the MK3 supra turbo stock at 4k with the 240sx stock at 4-5k with sr20det swap...now what do you guys think?


get back to me
