    I wanna get a 240sx really bad too much that i sometimes feel like selling my truck for one or trading it for one what do you guys think????????
    i know you cant compare both but i guess it just comes down to what you like more.... Drifting and weekend cursing and ricing or Offroad and crawling. another thing is gas..... sucker needs premium no matter what...
    Hears a pic of one that's for sale around my town

    Never cared for drifting, of course when I had my 240SX there was not such thing, but, I simply loved my SX. Great handling, so-so power (bone stock) would hold a corner like crazy, as long as you didn't lift, it was bad on drop throttle oversteer, to the point of looping completely out.

    Completely irrelevant to your situation but I know a guy that dropped a rb25 with too many goodies to mention into a 240sx and that bitch is sexxxyy.. so basically i'm in love with those cars.

    we'll see if this pic will work

    my buddy got rid of his 240 for an x-runner. that thing spins the tires no problem. he misses the 240 but loves the practicality of his tacoma.

    Used 240s are cheaper than Tacoma's. Keep the taco and save for the 240.

    Save up for the 240 as a second vehicle. One of the guys at work has a 240 drift car. He is putting a 1JZ V8 in it now. There is a lot you can do with that platform.

    Sorta need more info on this. I have both but my 240 is a S-13 with the KA still in it. Are you buyig one with the SR20 or are you doing later? If you get one with a SR20 already what did the person claim was done with it? Also if you are going to drift it I would recommend both. Parts will break. They are fun little cars.
