The fight of the discontinued cars.
Either way you see this you have to view it not from a personal perspective but from an automotive one. First the obvious. Front engine Rear wheel drive Vs Front engine Front wheel drive. Normally the front engine rear wheel drive would have the advantage but in stock trim the suspension setting are set to soft for the 240sx. It may have a great chassis but you wont be able to tell with the amount of body roll you will feel. Performance wise they really aren't in the same category. I've raced a few N/A 240sx and even when I was stock I wouldn't have a problem with them. Aftermarket its not even close. Its one of the main reason I'm got a 240sx. You can make one extremely fast for little money. But we are not talking about aftermarket are we. We are talking about stock Vs stock. Check out the article on car and driver. 240sx Vs Probe GT, Vs Prelude SH, Vs Integra GSR. They raced the cars on a course and its easy to guess who came in last. Yup you guessed right the 240sx. Im not saying it cant be made fast. We know it has all the potential in the world. It has 10 time the potential of the probe. But in stock trim lets be honest. Its rather tame (Japan not included). Take it to the track against a Probe Gt and that front wheel drive car will embarrass you. Take it as you will but before you reply take your time and do just a little research.
As for the guy with the brain in his ass S13 if you check the specs on your own car the low 14 is hit using a s15 spec sr20 not the anemic non valve timing engine.And i never said i liked the ZE if i did dont u think i wouldve had one.
As for sr20det if you got a sr20det i want you to race my cousins probe.BAsic turbo kit stock internal 242 whp on 5 psi look up lude speed in florida.
