Also, the S chassis is not the same a skyline chassis. They can share similar architecture but similar =/= same. The 240 is NOT a spectacular car, I have driven my room mate's wonderful example of a 240, and I have driven countless 2nd generation Rx-7s. You can't deny the laws of physics, the 2nd generation Rx-7 has a far superior chassis than the S chassis especially the worst of the S-chassis cars, the one with the truck-sourced KA24DE.
in base trim rx7>240. In race trim 240>rx7. Make fair comparisons... a na 2nd gen is not a spectacular car either. Rx7 is trimmed better stock... easy observation to make. Compare chassis potential vs the nearest trim of s13. Compare a TurboII to a Silvia Ks
