You get comments on punctuation and grammar because you HAVE NONE. You may not care about looking completely uneducated, but everyone here hates to look at posts that are unreadable.

Saying that you are only 17 is just pathetic. I learned to spell most words properly by 4th or 5th grade. I learned proper punctuation around the same time.

You sound like you should own a Honda, go pick one up.

grrrrrrrr about the honda comment (sp?) Apexi, I own one :-(

miss spelled words are ok, we all do that at one time or another. the most annoying thing though is ur use of run on sentences . PLease use at least a period (that's this one here--> . <-- , its the 2nd key to the right of the letter M.

we appreciate ur love for the car we all cherish, but we're more intrested in u finishing school and speaking properly.

A MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE.

im 17:)

come on guys dont flame him because he misspells (sp?) a couple of words...not everyone here learns at the same level...ive had a leaning dissability my whole life so i know whats its like to get made fun of for not doing things right...im not trying to say that he has a dissability though...just try not to make this kid feel so bad :peace

hahahaha, thats too funny.

Ok, you had a learning disability your entire life, yet every post you type has come out coherent and decipherable. His you can't even read. Misspelling is fine, cause no one spells perfectly, no one uses grammar perfectly, but use a couple of periods, seperate thoughts, ect. The kids problem isn't just spelling, he types in the wrong stuff, and doesn't correct it...

But back to the original post, no the 240 isn't the greatest sports car ever. There are many that are superior. Saying its the "greatest" is stretching it a bit.

Post by **Excedio** » Thu Oct 17, 2002 5:58 pm

i have tried very hard to learn to spell and use correct grammar...it wasnt easy

and the fact that he put that its the greatest car is just an opinion (sp?)

Post by **NiSilS14** » Thu Oct 17, 2002 5:58 pm

then what do you think is the greatest car?

Post by **Excedio** » Thu Oct 17, 2002 5:58 pm

i think the greatest is the one sitting in my driveway

Post by **NiSilS14** » Thu Oct 17, 2002 5:58 pm

haha agreed

Post by **Matthew** » Thu Oct 17, 2002 5:58 pm

Datsun 240z baby!I dont think any other import has had such a positive impact in america.

Post by **Bubba** » Thu Oct 17, 2002 5:58 pm

Spelling/grammar aside, is the Silvia the greatest sports car? Uh, no. Not even the best Nissan/Datsun. Sorry. Matthew is right. 1970 Datsun 240z is a far better sports car than the Silvia, but the 240Z is not the greatest sports car either. Greatest sports car is more likely to be the Ferrari 275 GTB-4 coupe or NART spyder, 427 Shelby Cobra. I could list countless others, even affordable ones that are better than a Silvia. Silvia is a nice car, but not on the list of the greatest.

man one thing i find really dumb is the fact that all of are tellin me aout my misspelled words i havent gtten this much negative feed back since i said the mustang was a second rate sports car lol this is a forum page i dont care if i miss spell word and if i run my sentences on or what any of u think of my post wel im runnin this sentence to lol i will refuse to use periods on this page from now on because of you all!!!! hahahahaha

Post by **SaruDorifto** » Thu Oct 17, 2002 5:58 pm

umm well can all the other sportscar have the same versatility as the silvia i wanna see a drifter use a ferrari or a lemme see a ferrari beat a skyline in a wangan battle many cars do have better engineering than the silvia butt look at the cost of them the silvia is cheap and yes the 240z is a great car and i love it my father owned one for many years well thank you for yur response and i am still not using periods!!!!!!! ahahahah u cant stop me!!!

Post by **Bubba** » Thu Oct 17, 2002 5:58 pm

Beating the sh*t out your car "drifting"in a parking lot doesn't define being a good sports car. Most people with Ferrari's are not going to abuse their cars that way.. I suppose Silvia's are better suited for drifting than other cars, but it's not the best sports car. You want some versatile, less expensive cars than a Ferrari or Cobra that are superior "sports cars" to a Silvia? BMW M3, or even an Audi S4. You got to drive one on a race track to understand the difference, not by doing donuts in the parking lot. Regards.

I personally think that the Mazda RX7 was the greatest sports car ever. They were very finicky, and prone to breakage, but they were also very versitile. They didn't have a backseat, nor did they have much room for luggage, but that'a not what they were made for. They were made for driving.

Post by **SpeeDDrifT** » Thu Oct 17, 2002 5:58 pm

the S-13 thru S-15 are versatile and fairly inexpensive sports cars.for what they are capable of, for the price you pay...quite a car.

greatest sports car ever? i love silvias; however, a stating that they are above and beyond cars such as porshes and the almighty mcclaren is somewhat ignorant.

the best thing the silvia has going for it is it is a good platform with inexpensive mods and repairs available. people don't drift mcclaren because ever drifter makes mistakes and you don't want to make one in a $1,000,000 car. as for wangan racing....silvias can hang...but not many in the company of skylines and FD's......and deffinately not with a mcclaren that pulls over 230mph straight from the factory.

it's nice that you love the car just like every other person on this board, and understand it is annoying to read posts that show such little care. if you don't care enough to make you posts easily read....people will not want to read them and just click the ignore button. it's about courtesy.

p.s. "i'm only 17".........oh nevermind

Post by **jemil118** » Thu Oct 17, 2002 5:58 pm

I definitely love the RX-7, but i would have to go with an exotic on this one. Maybe a Lamborgini or Ferrari...McLaren is definitly at the top of the list.

Post by **APEXi240** » Thu Oct 17, 2002 5:58 pm

The new Ferrari Enzo. That could possibly be the greates sports car ever.

maybe if it wasn't butt ugly....

no.... closer to the top of my list would be cars like the 550 spyder...

and if the market defines the best sports car..... the Miata/MX-5/Eunos roadster (depending on where in the world you are) has sold over 600,000 copies... it's in the guiness book .... and in terms of feel and driver feedback and the "grin-factor" they don't come much better... and they're cheap too...

and if it has 4 seats... it's not a sports car.... yes that means everyones favorite *GT* car is NOT a sports car... (911/930/964/993/996) .. yes this is a very narrow harsh definition.... but one has to draw a line somewhere....

the point of a sports car isn't the speed... it's the feel... the conection between car and driver.... some of the most wonderful feeling sports cars of all time are slower than a damn Geo Metro.... but that's ok, because that isn't the point...

Post by **NiSilS14** » Thu Oct 17, 2002 5:58 pm

WELL USE THEM!!! they would help us a lot

Hey now, lets let him have a little slack here. Some people are too lazy for proper grammar online. But before we all let off, I have to say that I'm 15 and in the dumbest state (GA) in the country, I use better grammar than you man. Come on, use a little punctuation.

As far as content, yes, this is true. However, there are cars that out-perform the Silvia consistently. The RX7, Z, Supra, and Skyline (of course the GT-R would). However, as far as bang for your buck, I believe that if the Silvia were sold here, it would definetely be the best.

Oh, this is Japan only that I mention, Euros have their own greats (GT2, Porsche Turbo's, M3, Ferrari...).
