240 or VR-4?

[youngmanvr4]

I need your guys help. I cant decide if i want to get a VR-4 or a 240sx. I could get the 240 in about 5 months or get a VR-4 in ayear. I know someday i will get the VR-4 and someday i'll get the 240. But i cant decide what to do. Give me your input?

[rps13freak]

well if you want to spend alot on insurance get the vr-4. but if you want a good car for less money go with the 240 and drop an sr20det in it. I would go for the 240... but thats just me.

This is a 240SX forums, so I'm pretty sure it'll be all 240.

What's with all these people asking about cars, "I have 30 grand to spend, tell me where to spend it!!" "I dunno what to buy, a VR-4 or 240, I have all this money I can spend!" "I'm afraid that my 200 thousand $ that I'm stuffing my matress with is going to waste in my brand new 760!"...lol I wish I had money...

Ok Here Let Me Put It Into Perspective For You:

240sx (2400 - 3200lbs)
3000gt Vr-4 (3400-4200lbs)

240sx = Tons Of Bolt-in Motor Swaps And After Market Parts

3000gt Vr-4 = Only One Motor For It Thats Worthwhile, Needs Alot Of Power To Move Quickly, And Expensive Aftermarket

240sx = Cheap Initial Cost, Cheap Insurance, Decent Fuel Economy

3000gt Vr-4 = Expensive Initial Cost, Expensive Insurance, Poor Fuel Economy

umm no the vr-4 is a very powerful car, it is in the same class as supras and rx-7 if you people are wondering the vr-4 is a twin turbo 6 cyld, awd. great for 1/4 mile runs and with simple boltons like turbo back exhasut, intake, bigger dimater i/c piping, hi flow fuel pump, and a boost controller you can have a easy low 13's car with around 300whp.. thats not to bad in my book, i say if you but a 240sx and a vr-4 and put 5g' into both of them the vr-4 will blow the 240sx out the water.. their is no comparsion between these cars to different classes of car.. if this was a video game the 240sx is a B class and the vr-4 is a A class.. lolz i dont have anything agains the 240sx but if i had the chance to buy a vr-4 i would jump on it its a great car to own and very fast and has tons of potential.. btw the fuel economy in the vr-4 does not suck its a big myth that turbo cars have bad fuel economy.. if you drive off boost which you do most of the time you save sooo much gass..to get a honest answer you should post in the 3000gt forum as well so you can see both sides

Yeah Ok.... You Obviously Know Nothing About The Vr-4. The Vr-4 Is The Heaviest Car In Its Class, It Also Makes Less Power Than All The Cars In Its Class. The Fastest I've Seen A Vr-4 Run Stock Was A 14.9.... My Friend Had Upgraded Turbos, Injectors, Standalone, 98 Lsds Installed, And Full 3" Exhaust And All He Could Get Out Of It Was A 13.5 Quarter...... The Ride Control Featurs Of The Car Make It Very Boring To Drive And It Is Extremely Heavy For What It Is.

And $5000 In A Vr-4 Would Not Even Get You Close To Touching A 240sx With $5000 In Performance Mods In It. The 240sx Already Out Handles It By Far, So You Could Invest $5000 In All Power Mods And Get It To Rocket Down The Qaurter And Around The Track.

Ohh And Any Car That Weighs Almost 2 Tons Will Get Pooor Fuel Economy And To Me 19-23mpg Is Poor Fuel Economy.

[turbo2nr]

ok go to the racing forums and see what people with vr-4 are doing then come back and talk shit..something must be wrong with your friend car then. voungsvr4 is a member here and hes into hi13's with just boltons.. so i dont know what the hell you are talkin about..and i see it very hard to spend only 5k into a 240sx and see hi 13's ..before you come telling me i dont know ish.. goo look up the facts and go see what people are doing with vr4 before ruling them out..

that only talks about hp. says nothing about how good they did in the quarter mile.

[musicsurfman]

And My Friends Car Had Bolt-ons In The 13's..... And A Rb20det Swapped 240sx Will Run 13's, Its Been Proven Time And Time Again.


And Wow A Whooping 304 Whp In A 4000 Lb Car Means What? 13.74 Et.... Slow

[turbo2nr]

ok use you knowledge usually how quick does a high 300hp awd car move down the 1/4mile..

[rps13freak]

depends on how fat that car is and how good a driver that person is...

[musicsurfman]

304 HP IN MY GUTTED 240SX WOULD BE A 11.6 IN THE QUARTER. DON'T BELIEVE ME? http://www.pontiacracing.net/calcehp.htm
COST TO GET 304 WHP IN A 240SX?
I COULD DO IT FOR $5000, HOW?

RB20DET FRONT CLIP $1200
SELL MOTOR ($500-700)
RB25DE COMPLETE MOTOR $350 - 700
RB20DET TURBO SETUP (OFF RB20DET FC)
12 PSI BOOST (MBC $75)
3" EXHAUST $500
WALBORO $100
FMIC $500
STANDALONE $1000
RX7 INJECTORS $300

TOTAL: $3875

DON'T BELIEVE ME CALL DRIFTTECH IN CALIFORNIA THEY HAD A R32 SKYLINE WITH A SIMILAR SETUP WITH 366 WHP.

[musicsurfman]

Well A Vr-4 Isn't Full Awd..... Its Mainly Fwd.

And High 300whp Car? Its 304 Whp..... Whoopy!
