Sl220DET · 07-09-2005, 04:31 AM

What is as good or better in terms of reliability, speed, affordability and style than a 240sx with a SR20DET motor set. I don't plan to drift a lot so I don't want to be a ricer and own a 240sx but not drift. I'm more into drag racing, so is there a better car out there for me or should I still get a 240sx? This will be a daily driven car. Also please, no Civics.

kenshinS14sks · 07-09-2005, 04:33 AM

go crx, it'll be cheaper

breakindrifts · 07-09-2005, 04:45 AM

+1. The Fox Body 'Stang is one of the best starter drag cars out there. Usually easy to find, plenty of parts, gobs of power to be had for drag racing. Just remember, when it comes to drag racing, More Fun = More $$$$$. Running 12's get's boring, add $$$, run 10's woo-hoo. Then 10's get boring, add $$$, etc., etc.

are you implying that if you own a 240sx and you don't drift you're just a ricer?

420sx · 07-09-2005, 10:26 AM

^ yea i think he does. almost everyone here within exception of few hardcore people are ricers.

HAHA, yeah thats what he's saying. I guess since all i do is auto X and do track days then i too, am i ricer.

blaze1 · 07-09-2005, 11:37 AM

420sx · 07-09-2005, 11:39 AM

^^why not buy a bike and kill yourself?

makav3li · 07-09-2005, 11:54 AM

i agree with 420sx except that part about killing yourself though

420sx · 07-09-2005, 11:55 AM

*sigh* I knew this forum could be helpful. I'm sorry I worded this question wrong or it just plain came out wrong. Don’t mean to call anyone a ricer. I just asked a question and I get answers that tell me to kill myself? I don't think that was neither ness cry nor do I find it funny. Why don't I get that damn bike and run you over instead? That way I can do it again to pignosecoupe. If you don't have a constructive answer then just don't post. How hard is it not to try and post some stupid answer just so you can get a free post? Get a life, ass.

tchenku · 07-09-2005, 04:01 PM

get a Iroc, cause it rocks!!

tchenku · 07-09-2005, 04:03 PM

better yet, just get a 240sx and join the bandwagon! everyones doing it.

so you don't look like a "ricer", just tell people you drift, when you really don't.

Sl220DET · 07-09-2005, 04:07 PM

Hmmm...I don't know about the 240sx already, I think I might just save up a little more and get a Subaru.

infinitexsound · 07-09-2005, 08:04 PM

hotrods are just one of the best to go fast on a straightline with little cash.........

Ignore what every one had to say. Get a new Cavalier and a membership to SixFlags for the rush. No working on cars for the next 50k, and your gf will feel warm again.

Dude, you're like so funny. Are you a comedian? If not, man...it’s a waste of talent. Got any ideas where I could get a skyline and a B52 bomber? Maybe you could buy them for me and I'll buy them off of you afterwards. Oh yeah and some NOS stickers so I can go super fast in my new skyline. Man, I'm going to be soooo cool and its all because of you. Thanks man!

SochBAT · 07-10-2005, 04:39 AM

Drag = domestics
Drift = GT3

If i were to build a drag car, it'd b an IROC. they are fucking sweet! and it reminds me of KITT, of KnightRider legacy.

Hey man, You asked for our opinion. Aerostars are actually quick as hell. They get up and go. It would have a few things that are better than you would get with a 240. In a S13 you can comfortably fit 2.5 people, where as with the Aerostar, you can 7 people. It also has its own custom antitheft system on it (see, paint job).
Also, I know you probibly didn't like the Aerostar I posted. I am sorry that it offended you. In an effort to make it up to you, I have found another one. Hope you enjoy.

I heard you wanted to buy a few things? Ebay is great to find rare items.
