i am selling my accord b/c the payments are too much...i am trying to decide on a new car...i really like the silvia S14 and S15's but i also like the newest preludes alot too...which one would be faster?? if both had turbos and bolt on's?

Too me a factory turbo charged engine is worth a lot.  It will be stronger, handle more boost, and have MUCH better power potential.

You do realize that the 240 is the only RWD on your list and will handle much differently than all the other cars on your list.... RWD FOR LIFE!!!!!!  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'>  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'>  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'>

yeah i agree, an enging that is turboed stock is much better than adding one on.  go the SR20 route cuz the sr mixed with the handling of a 240sx will kick major ass.  also, nissans push more power for less money than other cars.  and nissan engines can withstand a lot of horsepower without having to upgrade every damn thing.  good luck

polls belong in the polls forum, it's not difficult

btw RSX-S is an 02 model, not 00

if you're considering buying a new car, you can't really compare a used 240 w/SR with to a new car. but if you're looking at only used cars, and aren't concerned about getting parts and serviceability issues, i think the 240 w/sr is the clear choice.  and that's coming from a guy who likes honda's a lot.

You might have a little trouble finding a 5pd 240SX to start off with.  I voted other, because I'm a big fan of the WRX. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

The '00 Prelude, '02 RSX, '02 TL and  NSX are the Honda that I really like.

S13FREEAAK · 05-26-2002, 10:07 PM

Out of the cars on your list I would go with 240 because rwd kicks ass

AUTOBOT · 05-26-2002, 10:14 PM

Well, if you are selling your Accord because you can not afford the payments then you should scratch the RSX off that list too.

I would say, the 240sx w/SR20DET

1)Factory Turbo motor
2)RWD
3)You don't need third reason <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>
