DRAG or the "twisties"? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

What do you think our cars were made for? What do you use it for? where do you feel it performs best? Rationalize your answer and describe why.

Personally, I'm a canyon junkie. Can't get enough of those blind decreasing-radius turns and off-camber switchbacks!
The F/R layout, close to 50-50 weight distribution and suspension setups go to best use in the hills or on an auto-X course.
Again, that's just my humble opinion!

canyons? wtf are those? i'm in kansas for 8 months of the year so you'll have to forgive me

*AceInHole* · 05-06-2002, 11:14 AM

there's no option for "transportation device used in red-headed stepchild beating type driving"......

anyways, it's all about how your car looks.  Nothing looks better than that gleaming, shining, glossy 240sx peaking through the caked on grime and brake dust of a car braking through the corner's entrance.....  damn that's hot.

Has to be the track.  I love seeing the 240 carving through the cones or rumble strips on the open track...

i would have to say , the car lags on drag strips , but its hella fun in the mountains, and for doing donuts , and ive actually taken my car through gorman , on hungry valley road for a little rally session , its way fun ...

Bbandit · 05-10-2002, 05:13 PM

i would say autocross.. i dunno.. no offense guys but personally, i just think that jap cars arent built to run only in a straight line .. its designed to run in combination of those three hehe  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
