Re: why can't the stock 240 be good?

ok to start yes, it is a quick car, it gets off the line pretty well and revs up to 60 pretty nice, its about equal speed to a non-turbo rx7(which I have and my cousin has a 92 240sx so I have a little experience) although the rx7 tops out at a higher speed than the 240sx(my rx7 gets to 130 but the top speed new was 138 where as the 240sx has a govenor at like 120) plus the rx7 has a much better suspension setup and it has a much smoother ride at high speeds, I get friends saying wow I didn't even realize how fast you were going, this thing rides nice, where as my cousins 240 is pretty rough at high speeds, both are great cars though it just depends what you want I guess. I would say the non-turbo rx7 is just as reliable as the 240 but the turbo rx7 isn't near as reliable as either. the 240 will get you 0-60 in just over 7 seconds.. like 7.4 maybe? and the rx7 is about 7.2 so no real difference, I don't know much about the 944 though so can't compare that to them. the 240 is good stock yes it is quick but not incredibly fast, it will be fast enough to make you happy and keep your buddy in the passneger seat holding on when you go flying around corners. they are fun quick cars and reliable as long as you take care of them, so whatever you choose, take care of it and you'll be happy
