Thats exactly why most of us own 240s, is to beat the big dog muscle guys with our japanese cars. So, you got the theory all wrong.

no you got it all wrong he said he wanted to be competitive on the strip imports have absolutely nothing against v8s in a straight line as soon as the domestic guys start using turbos you can just totally forget about us little 4 or six bangers no replacement for displacement if imports were that easy to beat v8 then why did the import drag racing scene die so fast

WTF?

69' Camaro > ANY Japanese Import.

69 Pro-Street Camaro > LIFE!

'70 Cuda > '69 CamaroThen again, I'd go with a C6 Corvette way before either of these two. I like straight line acceleration, but at some point, I'd like to turn also.

Domestics are easier to build up because there's much more of a market for it and it's been around for so much longer. It is much sweeter to beat a V8 in a Japanese import though. Especially a 4 banger. The op's asking about a 10 second car though. Imports are more than capable of running 10 seconds and have been doing it for a long time too. You'd be correct if he's wanting to compete against John Force and run 4 second 1/4 mile times.

So then put a turbo V8 in the 240sx. Then you have the power to wieght advantage over the muscle and build the suspension so it will hook up. Telling a guy to buy a muscle car because it will be easier...I didnt think people on this site thought that way. If I wanted it easy, I would just go out and buy a mustang and mod the suspension to drift. Thats just blastfamous to tell an import guy to go domestic. Thats personally just against my beliefs. This guy puts a turbo v8 in his 240sx and not only will it go 10's or faster, but it will be very impressive. Just like the s14.5 above...very impressive.

Edit: I now see that the s14 has r33 lights. Therefore not s14.5.
