- Thread starter JDMMA70
- Start date
not worth it. just like owning a 240 isnt. good cars if done right. but what car isnt good when its done right.
im getting off topic but i SAY NO. i hate when kids play with me on the street. i think ima just turn the MK3 into a drag only car and use a little Geo as my daily driver with these gas prices

man if hes got a ka motor go hand him his a55 if his got a sr20 and your just running a 7mgte save you self the time and embarrassment of get yours handed to you by a four bangerJDMMA70;1028734 said:
All I have to say is keep it on the track. Street racing is a no no in my book. But, that's just me. I've heard of too many careless accidents where people die. Just be smart about it all.
Derek - Don't even waste your gas man. These 240sx people are not mature enough. Just let them keep thinking their cars are superior. Who cares!
...stock and even lightly modified Sr20's aren't all that fast(unless the car is stripped), but then again there are too many variables for any kind of comparison like this. And in all honesty who cares, if you like the Supra, and they like their 240sx, you're not gonna sway any minds by holding some sort of race. Take the high road and ignore them.charlesshen;1029242 said:
hey in all honesty both cars are great
each has its good points and its bad points (240sx issues with understeering and mostly underpowered) (mk3 supra issues not blowing a head gasket and a bit too heavy) ive owned both cars and respect both and im only 22
that being said
just run for fun on a track if he is really full of himself then make a small bet but keep it friendly

OK, I'm gonna be the one to NOT flame you...
First off, do some research on him. More than likely he has some posts on the forum about what he's done to the car. If he looks beatable, invite him to meet you at the local track.
Make sure you're ready to drag race on a track. If you've never done it before, go learn.
I'm not going to tell you to not race him on the street. You already know the risks, and I will feel no pity for you if you get caught or get injured.

240SX was either Junior (S13) or Doug(S14), but there could others I don't know about. I'd go for kicks, but my MK3's not fully operational. :-\
like previously mentioned, invite him to the track. 90% he doesnt show. If he does show, GL sir.

A KA-T makes the same power as the SR20DET and a LOT more torque. The SR20 is right up there with VTEC for the most over-rated engine ever.
I don't know where you guys are getting your impressions of S-chassis cars. It must be the wrong place because there are a lot of serious ones out there. And Texas has a couple serious cars. But all the ones I know, don't care about drag racing or who's faster in a straight line, most of them are drift cars and road race cars.
But all of this just sounds stupid. Supras are good cars, 240s are good cars, they have their pros and cons. Supras are not faster than 240s and 240s are not faster than supras. I know you guys have your pride in your supras and 7m's and whatever, but they really aren't that fast. But neither is a 240 with a stock SR in it. But once you get past the stock stuff, it's anyones game.
And keep in mind, for future bench racing or internet trash talking, the 240 will have a good 800-1000lbs on the supra. I mean the weight difference stock for stock is about 800. But I see a lot more stripped 240s than stripped Supras. My 240 right now weighs in at a couple pounds over 2400. And my brother's supra weighs in at 3000 and we've taken a lot more stuff out of the supra than we did out of the 240.
And the maturity level between Supra guys and 240 guys really isn't that far off. Most of you guys won't see it, but a lot of you are no different than normal 240 owners. And there are also a lot of knowledgable and serious guys in the supra world and 240 world.
And if you want to look at some of the more serious cars, go on www.ziptied.com and look at some of the builds in there.

I built a KA for my brothers S13, running a 57 trim t3/t4, it put down 300 hp and 300tq, at 15 psi. It was sooooo much fun to drive, exept that the rev limmit is so low. Such a tourqy motor in a light car with good suspension was a blast. When I ran low (15psi) boost on my 1jz making about 370 -380whp and we would do a run, he was right on my rear bumper, until he had to shift, 5800 vs 8000 rpm's.........
i personally wouldn't run my car at high speeds next to anyone immature enough to pull stuff like this. for my safety and my car's as well.
