240 for a newbie driver. You can kill yourself in anything so save ur money and take some lessons at a racing school. You're actually less likely to act stupid once you know what you are not capable of.

Why not try a mk2 supra,they're cheap,easy/forgiving to drive,good looking,and reliable cars.And if you want to mod down the road there are many options for it

240 i wish i would've went with a 240 before I bought my supra now i cant afford to fix the damn thing well to what i want anyway. there is only 2 or 3 240's around here but the only mk3's are mine and my dads there used to be a 1346 crank hp mk4 in the town next to me it was a show car dude is loaded but he totaled it rarity is supra's tho but reliabe get something other than a supra or get a perfect condition mk3 like rebuilt and new hoses everywhere you'll thank me later

i bought my supra as my first car yeah its non turbo but its fast enough to kill ya as is anything and i remember the first time the rear came out in the rain i almost shit myself o wait i did. luckily i countersteerd and let off some and got it back.

Back when i was looking for my first car i asked myself the same question. I knew i wanted a two door Rwd car. I originally wanted a 5.0L or a V8 Camaro but i knew i would crash it. American cars are made to go fast in a straight line there good at it too, shame they can't stop. So pretty much my options were a 240zx or a Supra. I leaned towards the supra because it has more of a muscle car feel plus the targa option and a turbo was to good to over look. I bought the supra and i'm luvin it, turns out my best bud bought a 240sx the day after i showed up at his house with my supra. He lt me drive it its a quick little car but it would never hit 240km/h

Have u looked into 300zx? there the best of both worlds. Even a N/A has 220 Hp

you can go die in any car you want. for real. its not like you cant die in certain cars.

first car? something slow. beaterly. wait a couple years and get a supra

 

[a_chowder1990]

hey again, umm i finally decided and i bought a 1jz supra, does anyone know of places where i can buy aftr market parts or would 2jz parts work for the car....?

 

[zambini]

this is your FIRST car.. EVER??

 

[JDMMA70]

That would worry me

 

[a_chowder1990]

not really my first car ever, i drove my dads is300 for a while, it is the first car i bought

 

[supraracer49]

Please don't get a supra for a first car. Did a 1jz swap on my first one and it was my second car and I almost died in it. I've had two supras and now have the S14 thats for sale. But I've learned my lesson long ago and now drive like a handicapped grandma. I would recommend a 240. Better gas mileage. S14 is a lot more modern designed, way better gas mileage, cheaper insurance, still rwd, lots of advantages for a new driver

Just take it slow and drive with some common sence.

^+1

My bolt on 7M supra had enough power to scare the living shit out of me when i first drove it around. Spun out in the intersection a dumb mistake on my part luckily my reflexes were quick enough and i recovered. I learned from that and learned to respect the car.

so chowder..

you bought a 1j swapped car? whats done to it already? how did you acquire it? who did the swap, how long ago and how many miles are on the chassis/motor? is it auto or 5 speed?

[DonS1mpson]

If you have to ask this question, the 240 is for you.

Cheers.
