what can 240's take in a race?

Post by **240SX=fun4me!** » Thu Nov 13, 2003 10:52 am

AZhitman, didn't you forget a some very important competitors?

Such As:

1. Fat kids on stunt Bikes2. Wal Mart shoppers during Christmas3. Those Dam gas remote control cars.4. 56k modems(they have miles too, don' they?)5. Old people on electric Carts.6. The stupid birds who think they are cooler than you cause they can fly

the list can go on. You always have to keep youir eyes out for these kind of competitors. There erratic, unpredictable, and can leave you feeling ashamed if you don't have a constant eye out for ..... *the racing eye* they give you.

(PS.... also those dammed squirrels that are always running in front of you to see if ya wanna race, frikin ricers

)

J/K guys

LOL - Good list.

However, I've seen some R/C cars that will OWN a 240...

I beat a 2002 manual ,bored, 4.6L v6 S-10 Extreme w/ my stock KA, that thing has like 260 hp but its heavy. He use to always talk **** about my car. He even asked me if i could beat an acura rsx type s, and if i couldnt than im not fit to race him.The guy finally shut up after i killed him on third gear in every race (3 races). now he has nothing but respect for me haha.

Dude, AUTOMATICS in an S14 aren;t that slow... My stock 240 lost only by 1.5 car lenghts to a Mustang GT 5SPD.. The kid is also a VERY good driver, his dad teaches AUTO-X, so he is always at the circut...

Post by **SkillaSX** » Thu Nov 13, 2003 10:52 am

Actually you can beat quite a bit of cars with a stock 240.

So far I've beat

-Stock 2000 Dodge Neon-(Exhaust) 1995 Ford Ranger-Stock Mazda Protege-(exhaust) 1994 Dodge Neon-Stock 1997 Mazda Protege-(Exhaust) 1993 Hyundai Tiburon-(exhaust) Mazda Mx6-lots of Honda Civics ranging from 1994-2001

and I beat all of those with a completely stock car and a broken exhaust!!

races to come 2 95 Integra's (Intake/exhaust), 87 Chevy Caprice 5.7l V8, Stock 03 Ford Taurus 3.0l V6.

"It don't matter if it's an inch or a mile......." Just kidding.

With exhaust? 5speed???? Oh man, that's fast. I'll bet you can beat a police car for sure.

Actually, I used to drive a 2001 Interceptor. Not hard to beat at all, as they are in the low 17's.

AND are electronically governed to 118 mph.

p.s. LOL @ ColdZero...

nissandriftovioulsy the guy let you win cause there is no way you could have beaten a 2000 prelude with an automatic 240

Post by **Turb0wned** » Thu Nov 13, 2003 10:52 am

or the guy just really didnt know how to shift

i kno. I just couldnt resist

Post by **nissandrift** » Thu Nov 13, 2003 10:52 am

it may have been a fluke that i won, but we both got on the gas bout 45 and i pulled on him till we let off bout 90. Apperently he thought i had a turbo sincve my exhaust leaked, cause he went around town saying that i had the sr20 swap.

Very good. Yeah, I thought I was gonna be told the Steamer idea was full of hot air....(booo hisss)

Post by **Nathan** » Thu Nov 13, 2003 10:52 am

No, I think the Stanley would OWN the 240 off the line with all that torque.

Edit: hmm, but the skinny wheels might not let it get enough traction. I guess we'll have to get Leno to see which is faster

Post by **Mr1der** » Thu Nov 13, 2003 10:52 am

I wanna see Leno run something in his fire truck...

Post by **Nathan** » Thu Nov 13, 2003 10:52 am

That firetruck is awesome

You dont get Popular Mechanics do you Mr1der?

Post by **Mr1der** » Thu Nov 13, 2003 10:52 am

fraid not, I currently get no magazine subscriptions, I am however an avid "stand around at wal mart or media play and flip through them" reader though:D

Post by **Nathan** » Thu Nov 13, 2003 10:52 am

Ahhh, I do that a LOT too

I'm really pissed wal-mart stopped carrying maxim, stuff, fhm etc though.

Post by **Bubba1** » Thu Nov 13, 2003 10:52 am

Ok, a few more vehicles that will humble a 240sx in a drag race:

My sons Big WheelCraftsman self propelled 7 hp snow thrower (a 240 might take the 5 hp)Soap Box derby racer....uphillany matchbox carA Peterbilt twin screw double sleeper tractor pulling twin 53' trailers with 80,000 lbs.

what can 240's take in a race?
