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

[stickgoat]

Just thought this might be a fun topic of discussion...

If you were going to get rid of your 240sx, what would you get instead?

The first thing I'd probably look for would be an '87-'93 Mustang GT 5.0. Otherwise, I'd be all about a 1st generation AWD turbo DSM (any of the three, but preferably a Talon), another Probe GT, or a Miata.

Yourself?

[SRdS14]

a 2002 GMC Envoy...with some 22" Sprewells and video system...

[Exar-Kun]

350Z, or my 300ZX....maybe a 3rd gen RX7

but yeah, Im with K, I love my 240, you cna beat the dogsnot out of it, and it goes "ok." plus its a helluva lot lighter than the Z's.

That is SO gay.

I would vote for a '91 Q45 with a freshly rebuilt engine, impeccable maintenance, aftermarket wheels/tires/brakes and a ten disc changer.

Going new I would say WRX.

Any car? Well, that's gotta be a black on black 911 Turbo.

[S-14boy]

Id get an AE-86 Black and White Panda just like in Initial D or an a third gen RX-7 in white, black, or yellow. But I love my 240sx and hate imagining a life with out it.

[drifter]

I would get any other car that's a 5 spd, first of all...and I am still in love with the MKIV Supra.....drool......

awd impulseawd talon300zx Im never going back to front-wheel drive hahahahahahahaha

[Bubba1]

Good question. When I bought my 240 new long ago, I was deciding between that and an AWD Talon, or an Integra. I bought the 240. Now several years later, still with my 240, I'm leaning toward replacing it with a 350Z (1st choice), an M3 or S4. If I were younger without a family , I might look at an 200hp RSI,which are reasonably priced and well made

[RYNO_s13]

An'87 Pontiac Fiero. I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but of all the cars I've owned, that's the only one I miss. I feel so dirty for saying that.....

[sultan]

i'd get a 94 Q45 with gold rims and borla exhaust, oh wait, that's what i have now.

[240_Keyy]

Hmmm.... Well my previous car was a '99 cavalier sedan with a completely redone suspension. That was kinda cool, but then I nuked the transmission and now it is up on blocks in my parking lot redneck style.

I sold everything off the Cav after I killed it and I just bought a 1990 240 Fastback. I love this car to death even though the suspension is completely shot. The previous owner cut the springs and blew the shocks, don't worry I have Teins on the way...

If I ever get rid of this car, which I prolly won't cuz I never get rid of anything, I will get a '91 RX-7 Turbo II and an '86 RX-7 GXL just in case I get one of them dirty. I came oh-so-close to buying an RX-7 instead of this 240, but the 240 was only a grand and the GXL was $4,500...

[skydragoness]

hmmm i'd love an awd impulse! especially since it snowed yesterday!

if i couldn't have a 240, i would have probably gota 5th gen Celica GT-S ...i wish i could have found an All-trac, or an ae86

despite the snow, i'm keeping my 240i'll just have to wait until i can afford to have a winter-beater, or get a Scooby 2.5 RS (99' body style mind you)

I think you may have the worst taste in vehicles I've ever seen. (excpet the 240)

Why don't you enlighten us with your far superior picks then Tino? And try to make it more than one sentence, if at all possible.

[TrueSlide]

A different 240.

You can't beat this car. It'll endure a punishing lack of maintenance without complaint, it's simple enough that you can work on it yourself, and it's a blast to drive.

If it wasn't so damn slow, it'd be the perfect car.

I agree 100%

[Tino]

If it were me... I would get a fully restored 1970 challenger 454 bored out bbc blown with nitrous oxide or a 2003 ford mustang cobra svt R

[TrueSlide]

I try to think within reason, if I could really get any car, defiently a new ferrari mordena, lamborgini diablo, porsche 911 turbo, speed 12, or a r34

[1dollar240]

Nice picks tino. for me- the 68 Judge in orange. 69-70 challengers are also very awesome. Then there is always a porsche gt3. I could go on forever with this list, but "the judge" will always be at the top.

[Tino]

true I also love the 69 mach 1 grrrrrr :drooling

WTF? Do you know ANYTHING about musclecars? A challenger is a Mopar, and you want to put a BBC in it? With a blower and nitrous? Even if you spent the $$$ to do that, it wouldn't be streetable and you couldn't pass a damn gas station ever. Why would you put a Chevy motor in a Mopar? And how/why would you give it an overbore? That's just dumb as all hell dude.

As far as the Cobra goes, all you have to say is '03 Cobra. There is no "R" in that model. Oh yeah, if there wasn't an '87-'93 5.0, there would be no '03 Cobra. It's still the Fox chassis. It's roots go back to '79.

Know what the hell you're talking about before you tell people they have bad taste in cars. At least Stickgoat knows what she's talking about, unlike yourself. :rolleyes

[Anand]

WRX STi

[Tino]

2000 Ford mustang Cobra svt r then happy, and yea I love chevy big blocks even though its a mopar. I should pick a less rare car I suppose

It just blows me away that you keep coming back with this stuff when it's obvious you have no idea what you're talking about.

What do you think about the kicka.ss stereo system in that '00 Cobra R?

[Tino]

... You do know what a cobra svt r is right? well Ford made 300 of them in the year 2000... They have a price range of 55,000. They are an exceptional sports car.

[TrueSlide]

Tino, thats just a Cobra R They did a test of a Cobra R vs. a Lotus Elise in SCC(I think) a couple months back

Yes, and I asked you what you thought about the stereo. Which engine did that one have there Tino?

[Tino]

Triton 5.4liter dohc V8

[Repo Man]

Pretty good, but you didn't answer my question about the stereo.

[TrueSlide]

This is the start how a decent thread goes bad

[Tino]

First off trueslide it is a 2000 ford svt mustang cobra R and as for stereo I don't really pay attention to audio of vehicles I prefer performance and style
