"Which is better? 240sx or _______?"

Post by **masticatingcow** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 8:42 am

Not that it's a problem, but...

Recently, I've seen a few folks making comparisons between the 240sx and other cars, and then asking the 240sx board members which is better.

C'mon, people. What answer are you expecting?

This has been going on since the beginning of time. Most useless post ever. I hereby proclaim no more threads about this or arguing over whether or not to call nitrous "Nos"

Hey guys,

I have a friend with a 2000 automatic honda civic. Its all stock but it has these really cool stickers and LED window washers. I have a rocketship. Do you think I can win? I think that he might be up until like 4th gear when I nearly edge by him. Then the miller twins will meet me at the finish line with all my friends and pour cold beer all over their bodies. Thats how i see it happening. What do you think?

Post by **SeVa-S13** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 8:42 am

Hate to break it to ya, but the Miller Twins will be at my place.

Who needs a power band when you can have a red Honda emblem? :rolleyes

I'm not saying the S2000 sucks by any stretch, but c'mon, it's freaking overpriced and overrated. I HAVE driven one and while it handles like a dream and shifts great, there's just not the power there that a supposed sports car of that price range should have. I guess I put alot of emphasis on pricing here because well, that's reality. With mid 35 grand, you can buy an STi, EVO, G35, 350Z...or build your own machine for less and absolutely decimate the S2000.

Yes, it's a pretty good car, and I do like it, but it far from "owns" a 240.

of get a supercharger and a few upgrades and it owned all of the wrx's and evo's in Car and Drivers Fourgasm article.......

yeah i agree with seva, i've driven a s2000 myself, and its a very nice car... but wayyy overpriced for the not suppper powerful car

Post by **240SXedUp** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 8:42 am

All new cars are over priced. The 240SX was over priced when it was brand new. Thats why I will probably buy owned till i die. You lose $3000 driving off the lot. New cars are ALWAYS overpriced. Of course you can buy a used 240 and spank a S2000 for less money... thats just the nature of buying cars

a supercharged s2000 owns ALL

Umm, actually S2000's before the 2004 model didn't own the 240SX! Try 160 ft/lbs. vs. 153 ft/lbs.

Post by **240sxin** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 8:42 am

Me Running owns all hows that.

Post by **zombieman** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 8:42 am

it's true that a s2000 owns a 240sx...the 240 after all came with a ka24 having only 155 hp for the dual overhead model compare to a 240 hp motor....

Post by **jbsr20fiend** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 8:42 am

The s2k blows goats. I mean come on, 30+k for something that is incredibly doggy till you hit 6k. I driven them before and they are nice cars, but not for 30 grand. If you want something with vtec and a high redline get a b18c and put double springs and retainers in it for a third of the price and almost the same performance. Just my opinion.

Post by **jbsr20fiend** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 8:42 am

Oh and the structural rigidity of the chassis compare to the 240 is inferior.

Well, zombieman, for normal day to day driving; torque rules! I used to have a Nissan Sentra SE, sure the Honda Civic SI had more horsepower 160 vs. 140, however I never lost a race to one on the street, since I have more torque than they have. While I raced several at the track too, there is one at the track that got me by 0.1 seconds, he had a more stripped out interior than me! lol I usually don't go more than 5-10 mph over the speed limit, so on the street; torque rules! Keep in mind that they did a test with the S2000 where they dropped the clutch at 5500 rpms and shifted at 5500 rpms which resulted in a 0-60 time of 13 SECONDS! Most S2000 owners will not drop there clutch near redline for normal day to day driving, even when racing, so an average S13/S14 driver would have a good chance beating an average S2000 to say 45 mph. Having more horsepower at a very high rpm is useless unless you can get to that rev range! It takes a very skilled (or abusive) driver to get the most out an S2000. I have great satisfaction that my S13 gets better gas mileage, has a better torque curve, is quicker around town, cost less (for the car!) than what it would cost to insure the S2000 for a year, and for less than $500 faster than an S2000!! Oh yeah, my brother has an S2000 and he has got it stolen once and the seats stolen and top slashed too! Theft magnet!
