That's where you have full insurance and gap coverage for.

RX-8 is bigger than 240SX but wider tires make up for it. The engine is small so there's more room for supension and wheels. A 90 degree V6 would be too tight in that car. Inline 4 Tubo would be just right. but it won't be a 3,000lb and 50/50 sport car like RX-8 anymore.The Renesis is as fast as Stock Silvia Turbo, not much torque on low end but picks up crazy fast from 4,000 rpm.

Medium Turbo on a 2.5L Altima engine would make definitely over 275HP at the crank, don't you think?

im sorry but no. the rx-8 is nowhere near as fast as a silvia. they are fun to drive though

one of my buddys that owned one said they didnt have much power tell really high up and then it just burned the tires. cause the power band wasnt a nice easy rise.

yeah they have no low end, but its not a harsh transition and its smooth everywhere. and it doesnt roast tires. doesnt have the torque for that, lol

that equation didnt work out right though, becasue it you want 450 hp at 4000 rpms it says all you need is 5.???? tq

Never gonna happen... If it were to happen we wouldn't be happy with it.

An S chassis car today isn't what Nissan is about as a company. They arnt the budget brand they were back when the 240's were being made. Hyundai is today's big import bargain brand in the car game.

OMG you already have what you seek - a small sporty coupe... it has everything you want except RWD and a turbo. Its called the ALTIMA COUPE
