Check this out.

Seems the 240 gets some respect in even in the illustrious Maxima.org arena.

Funny, you say that because I went from a 4th gen auto I30 (cefiro) to my 240 with an SR20det!

i'd choose a 240, unless its a 5th gen max. those are SAHWEEET. well, i dunno, it'd be tough actually. 240 = very easily made faster, RWD, 2door, sporty, better handler. Maxima = more room, more power, nice rice killer, also has alot of potential to be fast. i dunno boys, it'd be hard. but, because i'm a 16 year old, i think i need 2 door. can't handle a 4dr yet. unless it was a STi or Evo VIII. :drooling

that guy kratz74 said the 240 was slow and has no torque, well in stock form they are pretty slow but i thought they had a pretty good amount of torque...im guessing this guy just didnt know what he was talking about right??

Look what motor they are comparing to though. The 240 has relatively little torque compared to the VQ.

I gotta agree, the new maxima is pretty sweet, like the guy said, if your not crazy about modding it too much. I think stillen makes a supercharger kit for it. It's already got 260hp stock (I think), wasn't it called the best V6 ever? I remeber seeing something like that on the commercial they had, but a supercharged maxima would definetly be a bullet on wheels.
