What would you drive if you didn't have a 240?

[Tino]

Now don't be hatin all american cars now, stock for stock a mustang camaro etc... would smoke a stock 240 eclipse etc...

[Zebrahead]

Call me wierd, but I'd buy a 93 Integra GSR, and slap a turbo on that bad boy. The turbo kits are like 2.5K, and you'd run low 14s on stock boost. I loved my old '90 teg, Acura really got the transmissions right; they shifted like butter. The whole console (i.e. heater, cd player, etc) is all pointed toward the driver, makes it seem like a cockpit. Very, very cool. I'd keep the body stock, just lower it. The only mod you'd see is the 3" exhaust bolted to my turbo'd motor.

[I 8 v8]

I'll kill myself if I dont have a 240sx. J/k..... I will probably get a 93 BMW 325 convertible and custom Turbo charged. making around 350-400hp. Now that's fast luxury. I love RWD.

[randybunctious]

lexus sc400/toyota soarer i love those cars!!!!

[red240ne]

Infiniti G35 Coupe!!! anyone else with me on that? that's more worth it than a beamer. you have luxury+power.

[Drift Machine]

Good explanation.

I'm willing to bet I'm a lot smarter than you in reality, and if you can't even justify your insults that says a lot for your true intelligence level.

I don't mind constructive criticism... but people like you are truly a waste.

If you'd like to explain why an mr2 is a stupid choice for a good all-around car I'd love to hear it... or if you'd just like to toss in another meaningless comment like you seem to do that's also fine.

Oh, I forgot... the 240sx is and will always be the only choice for a car, period. Every other car is ****, toyota has terrible build quality, mid-engine cars handle terribly, .86g on the skidpad is not acceptable for a stock car, and turbochargers are the devil.

Edit: not to mention the fact that everyone and their grandma drives a 240sx... well, maybe it's not that bad, but the last time I saw an mr2 was this summer; there are s14's in my neighborhood. There are plenty of owners and very few of them are enthusiasts.

I'm also partial to turbo cars as I owned a TTZ. But I'm sure there are reasons that's a stupid car too.

Sorry that you took it that I was mocking you. In actuality I was agreeing with you. Sorry that you took it the wrong way.

For the smart thing, I don't know you might be smarter then me. I don't claim to know everything. But I'm not really much of an idiot either. Before I even had entered high school I already had all the math credits I needed to graduate, along with some others.

But like I said before, I wasn't trying to insult you. I was agreeing with you, I absolutely love the MR2. I was actually looking at getting one before I decided on the 240.

[bland]

Accually i'm selling my 240 this summer to get a beater as I save for a auti tt.

[UnderPressure]

i would either get a lexus sc 400 with a mo fukin twin turbo and push like 500 hp, or get a lotus elise. the really nice one with the type r engine (B18c5) and put a turbo kit on it making about 350hp. that would rule all. the car weighs as much as my nutsack, but i would have to go on a diet.

Haha, sorry, must have been the stupid part that threw me off.

I wish there were more mr2's around here, I'll never be able to find one.

[Repo Man]

ya my envoy is real ****in gay...

Not the Envoy goofball, the damn dubs! You don't really roll on dubs, do you?

[jemil118]

I raced my friends MR2...he pulled on me in the launch, but after that it was even...fast little cars, and I love the midship engines...of course don't be dumb like my friend and run 17 psi boost on stock turbo and fuel injectors....he did that for 2 days before the turbo started smoking....I could do w/o thier transmission, when he let me drive it, every time I shifted it felt like i was rowing a boat with one hand...talk about long throws...

[Good240]

2 cars

To stay close to the budget a 240SX driver would have before he bought his 240SX i'd say an 1990 or later MR2 turbo. It is a bit more money but it has advantages that make the price difference worth it. It runs great stock and looks as good as the 240SX. It's also a solid engine with a solid drag racing layout. Have a heavier rear never hurts off the line if you need some rear wheel traction.

The other car would have to be a Lexus Sc4000.... 1992. They made so few cosmetic and mechanical improvments over the years that the depreciation makes the 1992 a killer deal. Getting under 10K already when the car costs about 40K+ new. They come loaded whether you like it or not and are damn fast for a luxury car. Very reliable and pretty exclusive.

Oh yeah MR2 actually means Mid-engined Rear wheel drive 2 seater so saying that is is not mid-engined is just wrong. The engine is mounted as close the middle of the car without having the passengers sit on the hood or have a trunk that stretches some 8 feet beyond the wall that seperates it from the engine. The mid-engine layout provides more even braking weight distribution, Greater unsprung weight on the rear wheels, and a awesome dose of oversteer. This is all good and all but a heavy rear end and a light nose can make a slight spinout into a major one because they car simply less balanced. A true sports car should have a Mid-engine layout but it's not always neccessary or prefered.

[SilviaLuvr]

what would i steal....or drive hmmm the 2003 Viper GTSR :drooling

[SilviaLuvr]

I am surprised of all this mustang stuff. Crap on domestics!!! All my friends always yell at me for living in america driving and loving imports and never owning a domestic. Well the day they start making quality cars, that is the day I may even enter the thought in my head to buy one. If I had tons of money though, who could pass up the McLaren F1 !!!!!!!!!!!!

that reminds me in my auto class, we watched this slutstang video and did you know that their motors were made in canada ohio and Mexico...you can;t even drink thier water and ford wants them to make thier motors....i don't know

[SRdS14]

not only would i put DUBS on my envoy...i'd put Dubs+2 on there. i'm not "ghetto". but damnit, for some reason i want an envoy with 22" sprewells.

you guys let me know when you can afford all these cars that your talkin about!!! the thread was "what would u be drivin if u didn't have a 240" or whatever hehe.

Maybe one day i can afford a NEW NSX and twin turbo the fuk out of it.~Scott

[astron]

Uh, '65 vw beetle. Or...wait, already got that, and it isnt drivable yet. since i dont have a 240 yet, probably my '97 grand am....in my dream...I'd drive a supercharged moped and kill myself!ast

[Exar-Kun]

yeah, a NSX would be nice, but who am I kidding. I would, supposing I could just go "poof! car!":

koenigg twin turbo ferrari 360 modena. 700hp, top speed in excess of 210mph(gear limited, too...), 0-60 in something rediculous like 2.9 seconds...

and it handles at high speeds! weeeeeee..R34 Gt-R, and a ferrair enzo and F-40 round out the list. in short, the more cars you know about or have driven, the more I want...sniffle.

so little money, so many great cars.

[SilviaLuvr]

***** the bull$h!t i'll get the batmobile from the first batman (watching the movie now :drooling what a sweet fast freak'n car:drooling) the others like in batman forever and batman and robin sucked!

[SRdS14]

bahaha...i'm startin to like this thread now!!

PDM race wheels for the moped!! hold up, we can put some kinda stereo system. shave the moldings..NAWWWWS!!!!!!! Spray paint the engine chrome.."Twin Turbo the fuk out of it"

Scott

[fenrisx]

I'd drive my '92 Pontiac Sunbird SE because I'm to poor to afford anything else. 129,700 miles going strong. 110hp owns the 1/4 mile. Yeah, I know I'm slow. If I could have any car I wanted I'd get a...I'm not sure :'( there are so many choices.

[Dano]

MKIV Supra.

-Dan

[Tino]

Lotus elise II... nah **** that gimme an exige.

[RYNO_s13]

Apparently good240 neglected to READ the post that defined mid-engine. My advice? Go back, read the WHOLE thing and then, if you're still convinced that an mr2 is a real mid engine, then come back.

[not_a_porsche]

Ahhh, this one....



Bugatti Veyron....

16 Cylinder quad turbo1001HP/922lb/ft torque7-speed250mph+

.....amazing.

[Daunttless]

amazingly....ugly. : )

[Bubba1]

Hmmm. Old Bugatti's, now you're talking about a real man car, from an era when men were men and sheep were scar....but I think the thread originally asked what car would you be driving if you didn't have your 240sx, not what your dream car is. I don't too many people that own a 240sx that can also afford a McLaren/Bugatti/Viper/Ferrari Enzo/ etc. I also agree, that Bugatti is rather heinous looking...yuck

[red240ne]

i think it looks decent besides the mismatched hood and ugly grille. i wouldn't want to pay for the gas or insurance for that thing though.. actually, i wouldn't pay for any part of it. why not just get a mclaren F1?

[Exar-Kun]

:withstup

or an enzo.

[BB Turbo]

id probably go with fd3s with cosmo rotary ( yeah very likely ) vg35 or 30 or a 2jz, and i can really pay for all those cars, really.
