The 240 is slower b/c we have a driveshaft and a rearend to turn. the integra also has the advantage of all the weight of the engine and transmission on the front wheels adding traction. The only minus would be the gas tank.
I didnt think i would have to spell it out, man. It goes without saying that the driveshaft is heavy. Heavier stuff is harder to spin than light stuff. It also goes without saying that the differential being separate from the transmission and in a separate housing in the rear adds more weight to an already heavier car.

you make the decision. I'm not even sure anymore. 240 still kicks ass. FR owns FF any day of the week.
