can anyone compare the handeling between a 240 and 300zx

Anybody here driven both? Which sticks to the road better? I would think it would be the Z, but my assumptions are usually wrong.

i like the 240 better. the z is noticably heavier

well owning both i can tell you....for a fun little drive on a back road, i'd snag the 240, its lighter and FEELS faster through the turns, but when it comes to actually wanting to go fast, i'd take my z in a heartbeat, it holds the road much better and although it does feel heavier it makes it through much faster...the downside to my opinion is that the s14 is bone stock and the z is modded out the wazoo...the z32 is also known for having an aquired taste of sorts for the handling, if you havent driven one repeatedly you will make an *** of yourself trying to go fast in it

ive driven both.. stock. they both hacndle really well.. only difference i see is the Z's weight. it takes a bit more to control it. but thats just me

I driven both. If you're comparing stock vs stock, the 240 will certainly feel lighter while cornering, but ZX will handle a little better. The difference in pure cornering ability really isn't that huge. However if you plan on accelerating coming out a turn, that;s where there's a huge difference. The ZX will bury the 240.

I really don't consider one much better than the other. The ZX has a lot more power which makes driving it fast on a track easier. The 240sx' lack of power makes it more challenging as you have to pay more attention to the rpm's. The challenge to coax more out of it makes it fun.
