    yeah man, i feel for you bro

    used to own a 94 240

    have 3 friends all own 240s

    came from a small town in PA, were our cars were considered "The fast cars"

    all were drifters, had a track made on my buddys farm, small banked oval with a x in the middle

    Moved to ATL with the excitement about seeing a 240 and being like oh man wonder who all dirfts?!


    come to find out... 240s are everywhere... 98% of people say they can drift... 95% of those people lie

    ATL, you have broken my heart

    Your point is HALFWAY decent except for the fact that your comparing 140 HP cars to 300HP cars and a shitload of other variables. You cant tell me (with a traight face) that you think your GTO can outhandle a 240 in a curve


    LOL at you if you think that


    Add enough power to a 240 to balance the Power/Weight ratio and itll turn laps quicker than any of the cars you mention minus the vette

    Horsepower doesnt equal good lap times
    FUCK B&D COMMUNICATIONS!

    You seriously need to give up on the one-liners. If you're not gonna give up posting on IA, at least give up the one-liners. Later, QD.

    *sigh*

    You seriously need to give up retarded, half witted insults. If you're not going to give up posting on IA, at least give up your idiotic attempts at degrading me.

    lets stay on topic shall we?

    correct me if i'm wrong here, but in my original quotation, it was said that 240's come equipped with better suspension than the NEW AMERICAN SPORTS CARS.... so tell me, what do you think new american sports cars consist of? also talking stock for stock... of course you can modify one to destroy american muscle in the twisties, but that wasnt the variable... you said factory, and i gave you my rebuttal.

    discuss...

    Lateral G's

    89 240sx = .88
    GTO = .86

    They both are shitty from the factory, end of discussion.

    i still think...

    Price wise, 240 gives you the absolute most bang for your buck

    rear wheel drive, nice ride handling, decent HP

    all for maybe 5 grand for a super clean one?

    Come on nothing compairs

    sure you can get a rx7, and Obviously the turbo one will be faster

    but compair

    non turbo FC
    non turbo 240,

    240 is WAY more reliable, cost less to keep up, better full mileage


    i think one of the factors that 240s went skyrocketing in numbers is people see that its a rear wheel drive platform, that has a HUGE aftermarket support, all for a cheap price

    i really think if a car company came out with a new rear wheel drive platform for around 10k , they could REALLY milk the market

    It is good to see more and more car companies going back to rear drive. The new Dodge/300M the new GMs are switching to rear drive for thier bigger cars with the Holden platform. The Saturn Sky/Pontiac Solstice(sp) Ford with the...............um..............hhhmmmmm.......
