Nah I don't think it get's anymore obvious than that, especially since you had Super-Sonic Blue Pearl...one of the rarest teg colors:eek:

Sr20'ed 240 or turbo gsr
Was a nice color, i just hated the understeer and the fwd performance. Integras are fun to drive as hell, but knowing that my car is rwd now gives me peace of mind. Test drive some 240sx's and pull through a corner. You'll know what I mean.In case you guys have not checked out he honda forum I thought I would quote one of the guys who owns and honda and see if this makes any since to you."screw the 240.its becoming the next ricer fad car to have... stick with the gsr."
I was just thinking this is a little odd, slightly hipocritical?but in general I would say they are more pro 240 than this forum is

My friend says something similar to it. He has a civic hb and... all in all he thinks it's THE best car. Well honestly, if these guys put some thought into it (honda, nissa, toyota, porshe etc) just drive whatever the f*** you like. I just feel pity for that guy whoever posted it. His g/f prolly left him for a silvia.
First, gsrboy go to team-integra.net, most of the guys at honda tech suck and immature. The post may get locked at team-integra but they are less immature and won't just say "240's suck" or sh*t like that.
Second, I'll tell you what I think of Honda. They can be some mean little cars but only if you have enough money. What I wanted from my teg was going to cost me over $10k(not including the price of the car) and to get the same power and handling from a 240 would be around 8-10k including the car. So you tell me...what would you have done? I think the hype on Honda's is way too much and the aftermarket prices are too high for what you get, I mean an AEM intake for close to $200...yeah right, all it is, is a pipe with a filter. Plus Honda's have sh*t for torque. If you want to go NA you may see 220-230hp with a very good setup and very good tuning, which is why most people go FI on Honda's to make good power. And I for one do not trust boosting an engine that was made for NA. I would run a max. of 6psi on stock internals on a Honda and that's with an engine under 50k miles...they weren't made for it so why do it? Now on the other-hand you have a 240 w/ SR20 which will handle just as good as a teg with more power stock, easily upgradable, and can take more than you would probably throw at it. So which one looks better?
If you want a Honda to be reliable(and I know they are because my mom's accord has 214k on it and has had no major probs) then they can't be insanely fast.

PS-Keep in mind that this is coming from a current teg owner and someone who's parents both have Hondas.
