As for everything else:

The Versa is the best bang for the buck in the entry level with tons of hi-techy features and passenger room.

My first time on the autoX track (as in, 'hi, i've never done this before... what do these cones mean?'), I smoked the entire HS class and pax-ed quite a few 240s and similar. This was on stock wheels. I've noticed a marked difference with my new wider tires and am excited to see how the entirety of the upcoming season goes. (So don't tell me my car isn't powerful, capable, and agile - I have to drive on the road, not the track. The 0-40 would surprise most people - and that's really what matters.)

A Versa is what I wanted. A Versa is what I drive. And a Versa is what I will make look like and do what I want.

You wanna nay-say or give me flack, blow it up your own tailpipe.

This thread is stupid and antagonizing... and by a moderator, no less.

Seriously, if you're curious, use the almighty SEARCH button as this question has come up several times. And is usually always answered the same way. This is a Versa Forum for Versa questions, and not a place where the rest of NiCO should come sniffing to pick on us. We drive Versas either because we chose to, or we had no other choice. We do what we must because we can (rofl). We can't all be the same, life would be boring.

You really want an answer to your question? Come to a NiCO Fest where the Camel is in attendance and I'll even let you ride up front. Of course, if I stick your @$$ in the back, you'd find that you aren't cramped while I whip around 35mph curves pulling 50-60mph without sliding, losing traction, or missing a beat. in a hatchback no less

Oh, and did I mention that I got a CVT transmission, Satellite radio, 6-CD in dash changer, upgraded stereo package (which is more that suitable for now), AUX jack for my iPod, sunroof with one-touch open and tilt, keyless everything, and bluetooth (which could definitely be better, but is usable) for less than $19k? Oh, and I have my oil changed every 5-7,000 miles and won't have to flush my transmission until 100k which has really saved me in maintenance costs... I also am one of the lucky few experiencing never less than 28mpg (33mpg in the summer) and I occasionally get 40-44mpg on the highway?

Um... yeah. I LOVE MY CAMEL

Are we done here?

SuperTurbo wrote:Hey themadscientist

are we talkin about AE86 or S13 first?

S13's stock RB20DET can go up to 400HP easily, so chassis is way stronger than AE86

Other than that, do that AE86 guy use it on track like weekly?? or only once a while?? Because those I mention are for drifting, and usually those cars goes to the track to practice drifting at least monthly

Red Devil wrote:I mainly meant the way the car came and the aftermarket. Until you saw SR swaps, there really wasn't an aftermarket for the 240SX. After SR swaps came the KA-T's, RB's, LSX's, e.t.c. All I was saying was there wasn't much in the way of aftermarket for the 240 like there was for the Integra/Civic/ Any other Honda.

And no, you can't compare the Versa and S chassis. The V is an economy minded, FWD hatchback while the 240 was a RWD entry level sports coupe.

I think half of the people who want to go fast and put all this go fast crap on a V should wait a few months, trade in for a Hyundai Genesis coupe 2.0T and save the trouble and money.

omg that GEnesis coupe Track edition is such an insane bargain at 23K price.

How exactly "don't they appreciate your tastes"?

You're telling me. If I'd have known about the Genesis Coupe when I was buying my V I would've waited till the Hyundai came out.

One of my classmates has a 2005 Hyundai Accent, a little above 20k miles and it's been in the auto shop twice! It was having engine issues and other minor fixes to be worked on. Stuff like that shouldn't occur to a vehicle that's barely been broken into, if that were the case, I would sell it and get something reliable.

Ginsu wrote:If your most important criteria are power, poor build quality, and no resale value, then you've got lots to choose from. How about the ever frugal Mustang, starting at just $20k, or the entry level Challenger, which is only $22k and delivers 38 more hp than the Hyundai? Also, in a few months the new Camaro will be out, which starts at 300hp and will be around $25k.

But the real question is, "why are people trying to make a Hyundai fast?" ... or popular, or long-lasting? Using your own accusations in this thread, one would assume that you would be better off saving up a bit more for that G37.

SuperTurbo wrote:AE86 in my mind is a good track practice car. Almost = today's last gen Civic Si. Cheap & you can learn s*** from that car speically on track. AE86 can crank out 130HP back then with a short & long intake system. Torque & Power wise is focus more toward the 4000rpm & up range...
