i bet you'd say the silvia was a sports car

no i would not.

Quote:

I believe you when you say it is comfortable in stock form. In fact, ANY car is comfortable when you drive it for short distances. You come and tell me its more comfortable driving a 240 for 700 miles than a camry, i'd slap you.

i'd say they are about the same for the 2 door.

Quote:

As with the term "sports car", its a sports car if you treat it and drive it like one. If all cars were the same, why are 240sx's listed under sports compact/coupe, while accords and camrys aren't?

honda civic coupes, preludes, celicas, scion tCs and other cars are in the same catagory. none of which i would consider sports cars. sport(y) coupe is different.

Quote:

Why do 240s have 2 doors instead of 4?

because they are coupes.

Quote:

power does not make a sports car a sports car. look at the miata.

duh. many things go into making a car a sports car. miatas are great ones, 240s aren't.

Quote:

i own a sports car because it is build for the explicity purpose of going fast and having fun.

except that it wasn't.

To get back to the original topic I drove my S13 from NY to NC and back, 14 hours worth of driving and the way back I had bald 255 eagle F1 GSD3's with an Apexi N1 dual, test pipe, and a hot shot header. I just loaded up my mini disc player and got some mt.dew and some caffiene and went. I loved driving my car, and still, I cant see where the stock S13 seats are horrible. Although I am working on some stock X type seats. I take my car whenever, and where ever I can, and now with my 2nd S13, Im set.

Way to bring it back undercoverdjay. And damn everyone else for whoring out my thread comparing 240's to camry's. Anyways, I can't wait for the trip. And now I've got some pimp 15" zero offset black meshies to roll on (woot!) so that might help out the ride quality a bit and I wont have to put the miles on my good tires.
