BFG Comp T/A's or the new BFG G-Force's

Nitto Drags are worthless on the 240.

How about you dont;

a) be a retard and drag race and

b) be a retard and drag race on a street with other people you are putting at risk.

Dude, its just a question. It doesn't mean that I am going to drag race my car. I would never soup up a 240sx to drag. I am just wondering! Gosh... so hatefull.

Hes not hateful, hes being realistic.

Street racing is STUPID and irresponsible. You said you wanted to street drag, so what was he supposed to think?

If you had said drag racing, this would be an entirely different thread.

Personally, I've seen my friend school me off the line with a 245 Nitto 555R, so thats what I would get if I was the drag racing type.

hell, the racing itself is illegal, so why not ice the cake with some massive hoosier drag slicks? just an idea. oh, and i firmly believe in the power of the bridgestone potenza s03's. if theyre good enough for the enzo (so godly) theyre good enough for me.

I'll guarantee most all of the members at NICO have street raced, maybe not in an organized fashion, but all of you have floored your car while another is next to you, or even worse, taken turns fast and such things. No one in here has any right to rag on another member for racing. These aren't 10 second muscle cars we are racing, they are simply 16 second economy cars.

Maybe 16flat stock. straight line acceleration is fun but for me in the 240 its just a tool to get you up to speed before you take corners fast:D. Thats the best part of these cars. As for doing illegal and irresponsable stuff on the road i will admit i am guilty but from what i see its not the people driving fast that are dangerouse neccessarily. Its the people who arent paying attention. I have seen two wrecks and 3 near wrecks in stillwater cause by old people who thoght that they were driving safe as long as they were driving slow.

Oh yea. Ive got some nanakangs and so does my room mate with his 2000mustang gt. they work well for both of us. cheep, attractive, and they grip well too.
