    Let's evaluate this claim.

    "KA24 stomps stock civics"


    KA24DE, 155hp stock in it's highest trim in a late model 240sx.

    so now lets see what we can find for a "stock civic"

    one sec while i browse through the list of car and driver's 10 best, US car of the year award winners, European car of the year award winners, Motortrend car of the year award winners, (lol>) Irish car of the year award winners, Automobile magazine car of the year award winners, Brazil car of the year awards and African car of the year awards..... oops... almost forgot best new sports car award winner and canadian car of the year....

    ok, think i found something acceptable...

    Lets go with the EK9 hatchback. 2400lb curb weight, 185hp 1.6 liter engine..... sure the next generation had 197hp... but why bring a machine gun to a knife fight right? and lets just pretend this "STOCK CIVIC" below doesnt even exist....





    oh... what's that you say??? Nissan never made a race car version of a KA24 powered 240sx????? the same engine they put in light duty nissan trucks and Altimas..... you should probably write them a letter about that or something.

    Pretty much every single 240sx ever made ran a 16+ in the 1/4 mile, but in the spirit of fairness, we're going to give you credit for a 15.8 which is what i have listed for a stock 1995 240sx SE-R model.

    A late model civic SI was tested at 15.1 by motortrend..... the 1997 Civic type R was tested at a 14.8 stock.

    These arent even the fastest "stock civics" ever made. just the 1st ones that popped into my head.


    any questions?


    Enjoy your KA24 BEAST.... and know that every time you see one of these.....


    Theyve got the same "BEAST" that you do.
