Arrow Why Nissan?

I used to be a big Honda fan...and then I discovered Nissans! I am all about the 240's now. I was just wondering: Why do all of you love your Nissans? To you, what makes it sooo much better than a Honda?

Re: Why Nissan?

Simply becuase its not a honduh. They were made for driving...fast. Not so much the KA but itll still put a civic in its place. Can you say RWD?

Re: Why Nissan?

I like my 240 cuz it was the lightest RWD car in my budget range. And they are cute.

RWD drifting

just look at the size of the bay on the 240sx, easy tuning
the performance options, and i just associate honda and ricers it bothers me what people do with them to "be fast",

its also a very nice looking car

Everything they make is great stuff, yet they get killed in sales, Honda or Toyota puts out a shit box and everyone jumps on it because of the brand, fuck them, I say!

I wouldn't go that far. I LOVE the Toyota 2JZ! I would rather eat worms than have a Honda though.

Fuck all of you bagging on Honda. If it wasn't for Honda, the import scene would have never come to the U.S. Honda made imports popular and made it possible for imports to be cheap and easy to mod. I have a Civic, 240SX, and a 1964 Chevy truck. I love cars and racing. I love the Civic because it is fun as hell to drive. FWD is great in auto-x. I love the 240SX because it is fun as hell to drive. RWD is great for drifting. I love my truck because there is nothing like the Classics. All cars can be made fast, and it sucks that the reputation of the Civic has suffered because of Ricers, but the 240SX is starting to go down the same path. They are getting in the hands of the wrong people and are being riced out. I appreciate all cars. Hondas are awsome when they are done up right, and it is the same for all cars. Bag on Hondas again and I'll race you. We'll see who's laughing after that. It's not the fastest car, but I will stomp on the majority of the people here. By the way, it's NA.

Re: Why Nissan?

to be honest, you can't disrespect his beliefs.. you can't argue about how some cars end up in the wrong hands, because they do, not just hondas but unfortunately nissans too.. just not as many.. cause 240s are better..

and logik, i actually laughed out loud at your reply to the clutch question

Re: Why Nissan?

Actually....Last summer I met a guy in NC who has the absolute fastest Civic I have ever seen. He drag races nationally and he clarified for me the logic of a wheelie bar on a FWD. Whenever I had seen that in the past I laughed...but I understand now. His car was a monster...and he was really serious with it. He rebuilds his engine after every weekend of racing.

I just don't like FWD or Civics...it is ONLY a matter of taste. I do respect REAL tuned Civics and their owners.
