200sx vs. 240sx

Post by **kysard** » Sun Feb 02, 2003 8:24 am

Probably a dumb question but does the 240sx totally out handle a 200sx? I have driven rwd my whole life except two cars: buick centery and VW Jetta. Mostly I drive BMW's which are rwd and handle great, the century was my first fwd car and it handles like ****, swore I would never buy another fwd till I drove my Jetta which handle almost as good as the bmw's. I now live in an area with hills and curvy roads, sold my Buick GN looking for a good handling car, I looking at the nissans because the engines have good bottom ends.

the 240 would absolutely outhandle the 200sx. hands down, RWD all the way

Stock, I'd give it to the 240, but in modified form, depends on how well it's tuned. A FWD car can be quite competetive against even a RWD car if the tuner knows what he is doing and sets it up well. I've seen quite a few very well set-up 200sx's that would outhandle most 240sx's.

200sx is a bad handling car, even compared to other front wheel drive cars, it doesnt have indepent rear suspension. 240sx would destroy one of these in the twisty's

you don't mean the 200sx S12 gazelle, right?

nevermind i read it over again. but i'd still like to know if an s12 would out/under handle an s13.

look into the 200sx se-r or maby a 2.5 SE-R Spec V for FWD.Heck if you want a real good handeling car I say go all out and get a RB26DET AWD Skyline!:D

skyline can suck my nutuks sure its a nice car (heck if u wanna give me one for free i take it) but its way overweight compared to the 240s and even fc3s/fd3s

Comparing a 200sx to a 240sx is alot like comparing the RSX to the NSX.

It has plenty of power to make up for the added weight,and dont forget the AWD:D
