a 240sx is nice. My buddy has one, its a good car... the backseat sucks, the seats at the top piss me off cuz they arc forward, and it isnt fast,parts for it are 2x the cost of my parts, and they dont gain as much HP as we'd like to see. I mean I was,at one point going to get one, but now that I look back on it, Im very glad I didnt get one. Theyre fun to drive, fun to play in the rain with, but having 2 siblings, and always taking your friends places, just doesnt make it a realistic car to own.
Its a good car, but for the money, I'd take a nice foxbody anyday, and thats coming from a GN owner,who hates ford.
5.0 modding>240sx modding.
Dont EVEN try to throw in getting a SR20, because they won't pass smog LEGALLY. Unless you got a hookup and can get it smogged the rest of your life, you are limited to about 185-190 N/A HP, and about 250-300 turbo'd HP, unless of course you sink some cash into building your bottom end.
Basically, you cant beat a 5.0 in modding, its like fukin 600$ for new heads or something like that, and like 3k for a blower thatll give you 450hp..NO way are you beatin that w/ some 4 cyl.period.
