240SX vs Probe

tye112 · 10-14-2002, 12:56 PM

Whats your opinions on 240s against Probes. I know are quite different cars, but they are really similar in ways too.

Anything you guys can say for either side will help, thanks.

240=Nissan
Probe=Ford

enough said

check out this thread to see what people on a 240 forum think about the probe (note: guy that owns the probe is extremely stupid)

How are they similar?

240SX is RWD, 2.4 Liter Inline 4 w/155HP

Probe GT is FWD, 2.5 V6 w/170HP

240SX has immense aftermarket support...while the Probe has some but not much...you could always do the KLZE swap but I dont see much after that...

but why not look at the prode in a different way. why not say

Mazda MX-6

Nissan 240sx.

there the MX-6 is the same thing as the probe. but hte MX-6 looks more like a S-14 and the MX-6 is known for having good handling.

I definetly agree. MX-6 is a lot better than the probe. Man I am getting sick and tired of these gay ass probes. I don't know about you guy's, but up here in Eau Claire, WI people are very gay. The most popular riced out cars are cavaliers, probes, saturns, civics, accords, ect. In order too........... Man you can't go anywhere without seeing like 5 riced out cavaliers.

tougestar · 10-18-2002, 12:27 PM

to put it a diffrent way

probe=FF
240SX=FR

TatII · 10-18-2002, 07:20 PM

screw the probe!! mx-6 all the way~! that car looks good for a 93 design man.

Yep.. I agree, the cars cannot be compared.

Personally, I think sports-cars should drive with the rear wheels, brake and steer with the front.. thats just my preference. But when you compare cars, you have to compare cars that are in the same class, not stupid things like drag-times and HP.

Lets change things up a bit:

NISSAN 240SX (FR) compared to:
Ford Probe (FF) which is a,
Mazda MX-6 (FF)

But then again, lets remove the MX-6 and replace it with a better Mazda.. such as the Miata! Which of course, the Miata is underpowered and smaller.. so lets ditch the Miata and compare the 240SX to the FC RX7. OR, we can compare the 180SX to the FD RX7 - that should be more fair.

the older versions such as 92+ not sure mx-6 kinda remindes me of a 32 skyline the way the front lights are n da way the rear fender flares out just a little 2 bad ford helped make it.

but mx-6 can run fast i seen sum turbo mx-6 kill rx-7 n gst eclipces .

i wana see a sr20det powered 240sx against a turbo mx-6 wonder who would win??

turbo2nr · 11-15-2002, 08:21 AM

forgot 2 say my cuz has a turbo 91 probe gt dat shit hauls ass. from da factory it makes 12psi of boost rite now he only makes 6psi cause of a nasty crack in his exaust manfiol but we still murda rice rockets n when dat car was newer we ran so gs-t n turbo mr2

but i think if the probe was runnin good it would be a great challange 4 the 240sx wit a ka24de motor
but ...
the sr20det would blow it away

old_s13 · 11-15-2002, 11:32 AM

Here is another problem I have with some of the newer 240SX forums (and people who've recently learned about 240's) -- everyone says "is that car SR," meaning SR is the only way to get good respectable power.. or as if its impressive. SR can mean jack shit. You can swap a NON-TURBO SR20DE from a non turbo Silvia into a 240SX and that would be just as impressive as a stock KA (actually maybe less!).

If you're going to ask people if they've done any motor work, say it how it is.. "is your motor built? did you go turbo, SC, or NOS?"

As for the MX6, I think it looks more like a 95-96 S14.. just a tad, but its much more feminine.

Probe-GTR · 01-08-2003, 06:30 PM

Not to sound rude or anything but when u look at the specs the probe ownz the 240sx in everycategory just check car and driver road and track etc.The probe also outhandles and beats the mx6 in acceleration even tho there built on the same platform the probe was meant to be sportier then the mx6 there fore it out performs it not by much but it does.I recently acquired a 95 240 sx and i love it dont get me wrong but before you go bashing on cars you dont know check specs.The probe is a mazda in everyway u look at it .
klze 200 hp

Suislide · 01-08-2003, 10:02 PM

yeah, but then look at the parts you have on your probe. 'nuf said. looks like you're the wrong kind of person to be owning a 240SX.

plus, you're not going to make much friends around here talking like that. the stock 240SX has a crap-tacular engine. KA's suck. once you stick an SR in there, the story is over for the anal probe. also, FR vs. FF. sure the probe can probably beat a 240 (by a little bit) going in a straight line, but once you hit the twisties, i'll take a 240 any day thank you very much. oh, and the reason we prefer the MX6? the lack of a certain blue oval...
