Just be glad it wasn't a GN, Well at least no one would laugh at you for getting beaten by one, now racing it in the first place. that they might laugh at you for.

BTW, Road racing isn't the same as street racing...

A 12 yr old on a schwinn will give a 240sx a good race .I'm afraid you're not in a particularly blazing car in a straight line. Compete against that Buick at an autocross course and you'll fare better.

WOW

1) this is the road racing forum, NOT the street racing forum (we dont have one. grow up.)

2) its a 240. they are slower than ****. i could beat a stock 240 with my titan TOWING my 240.
