On Monday night I raced the V6 mustang that thought he was so impressive and man was it great. The Auto Stang jump faster than the 240 off the line and thought he had it at first for the first 60 feet. After he was very confident of the win, the 240 threw 2nd gear knocked the mustang on its ass! The race was over but yet I have to admit it was a good race( I really only won by a cars length or two). After all the 240 wins again!!! :p

i myself drove a v6 mustang for a while. it does have a VERY weak 2nd gear. its pretty heavy too. only thing better about it than my 240 is it gets 3 or 4 more miles to the gallon. everything else sucks. its embarassing saying u have a 3.8L v6, but be slow as fock.

Yeh, it’s amazing how they would want to race someone with similar price tag and layout, even when they have a supposed disadvantage (less displacement) instead of trying to do flybys past cobras. Crazy kids these days. The cobra people say the same thing’s against moded 240 owners. And the corvette people say the same things about the cobra people.
Btw, I still drive an auto 6 stang so :p on all of you! :D

Oh . . speaking of KAs racing lesser vehicles. Here's my coolest racing story.
I was driving mom's 97.5 Altima GXE auto, and I pull up to the light. I look over, and see some dude on a Razz. He took me off the line, but by 12 mph I HAD him. I was pretty embarrased. But I kept telling myself "hehe it's not my car"

the reason people have or want a turbo/turbo engine...
it's because the 240sx is slow.....
so a slow 240sx vs. a slow v6 stang=
the winner is: WHO CARES!!!!!!! (except newbs)
:D
:D hey Jimmy, I have beaten 5.0s at the track before, but they were auto verts :o
on another note, when i race my gf's v6er i smoke her off the line, then when i hit 2nd its jus way over, i dont think ive ever had a car beat me off the line, i gues i just launch like a... uhh.... rocket... on a launching pad...:p

I dunno.. I've seen Evil S14 run, and it's damn impressive. I've included a crappy video I made on someone's digital camera of him takin' on a 12 sec vette. . haha too bad I didn't get the actual TIMES on the vid (not enough time for me to move the cam), but I have seen a race of his against a GT mustang. . the 1/4 mile wasn't off by much. =)
And that's NOT me making the truck spec comment hahaha
Oh... easier to right-click and choose save I think...
Evil S14 getting owned by 12 second NAWWWZ powered C4 (http://12.222.108.59/stuff/EvilS14_240sx vs Vette.mpg)
It'll download slow I think, it's on my computer.

lol forgot about the train!!! I think the tracks are the back of the track... about. . I dunno... another 1/4 mile back or so. =) Or . . are they in front? Now that I mention it... didn't I cross tracks pulling into IRP? haha it's one or the other!!! =)
I love going there and watching the turbo diesels run. 18s and 19s haha. . (4x4 pickups!!!)
Although, there is a guy locally... his dad owns the Ford (and MB, VW, Audi, Isuzu) dealer that has a pretty cool F250 4x4... runs 14.5 IIRC

i have a video of a 740hp turbodiesel Ram running a 10.41 @ 101... probably a little different from what you're used to seeing :)

hehe yeah I think I've seen that. . where was that. . damn .. I think I read an article or somethin'
I was impressed. It's red, right? haha (narrows it a BIT)
Yeah, the crap I'm talkin bout is. . STOCK.. mostly... maybe some fart pipes. . haha. . Has to have the obligatory dual CB / HAM antennas on there... This one was f'n poop brown!!
I KNOW there's fast trucks out there, and the only thing they have goin' is the ability to haul dirt and bricks and go fast in straight line... but... these guys are drivin' crap.

BTW. I love your car still!! haha. . Looks like my S13.. (back in the day) I had a black nuck-spec HB LE, with 5% windows haha
