I vote the 350z by a considerable margin.

I want a 350z so bad. =(

I think 350z is like 14.3, Thats very fast for a stock car. An S13 will need consideribly more than an SR20 at stock boost to even out with the 350z.

i wouldn't consider that fast for a stock car... sorry there are stock cobra's that run 12's ... 14's is "quick" but far from fast...

The fastest stock cobra I've ever heard of ran a 13.8 What are corvettes? 13.5-13.3 I've always considered a stock car that runs under 15.0 to be fast, I'm VERY conservitive with 1/4 mile times though.

350s aren't that fast. In Arizona, they are running high 14's in stock trim. It takes a really really good driver to make that car move as fast as it possibly can. My friend's stock SR with only a LSD and exhaust gets low 14.1.

I've never seen a 240sx/SR20 at the drags so I wouldn't know any better. But I never would have expected it would speed the 240 from 16.1 down to 14.1. When I wanted an SR I would have expected it to take me to like 15.3 =)

SVT Cobras aren't stock they are modified by, surprise, SVT!

It comes from Ford with a rated 390hp... its stock. Once you yourself modify the engine, then its not stock.

publicenemy137

stock cobras run high 13s, not 12's. And 350z's can get low 14s in 1/4 mile, I think the best time I've seen was like high 13s, but I didn't see a timeslip for that so I don't know if it was legit or not

Offhand, I'd give the edge to the Z. But it really could be a driver's race. Who knows? I think the S15 isn't too far off from the Z's performance levels, at least in 0-60.

06-24-2004, 02:25 PM
The only thing an S13 with has going for it is nimbleness... I believe the Z would win in a straight. I say: TAKE IT TO THE TWISTIES! That could be interesting...

the s13 if it has downpipe/exhaust is about the same as a z. i raped a 350z on the hiway by about 5 car lengths with a fmic.

sunroof is for homos and power windows can be made for under $100. quitchor bitchin.


i must say the new s13 looks much nicer than that gold p.o.s. (i think we were the only members on this boards with gold 240s)

swap the interior for a black one....or quit wasting your money and buy an s14. you know you want to

i saw a best motoring video of a type r beating a s14 silvia with 220hp, and the silvia got somewhere around 14.9. the s13 weights less, but it also has less power, and i highly doubt it can do low 14s. stock everything, like in japan, should get it into high 14s, but here, people usually get aftermarket exhaust, intake, and other things when they do the swap, so its gonna be quicker.

ahhh, no.

i had plenty of money to get an s14. i didn't want to because they were made for 40-yr old baby boomers.

dekand
06-29-2004, 06:46 PM
not that i doubt you had the money, but thats a stupid reason not to get an s14 lol...

s14's just look way better than s13s... s13s CAN look AWESOME but take a lot in order to in my opinion... but hey whatever floats it right? 240's are 240's, i love em all

oh not to mention s14's handle better than s13s... say what you want but its true.

so I can say s13's are made for 16 year old ricers who use their mommie's money to buy it. This comment and yours is just stupid and not true

s13s are the original 240sx, and why 240's are so popular.


and actually the baby boomer thing is true

http://www.internetautoguide.com/reviews/1995/1995_Nissan_240SX.html

thats what made me not want to get one, after reading that article.


"When the now-redesigned Nissan 240SX rolled off the assembly line last summer, we were surprised by the transformation it had undergone. This new version blurs the fine line between sports cars and upmarket vehicles because Nissan has downplayed this car's racier lineage in favor of a more genteel and understated design. All of this has been at the service of folks who favor graceful styling over road-burning performance, but who see themselves as too young to retire to a stately sedan. In short, the 240SX has been tweaked to cater to the changing values of the baby boomer generation - the first wave of which is now approaching the age of 50. "

there's no doubt its a nice car. it just doesnt feel like a racecar to me. i drove my friends 300whp s14 and it felt like my maxima. no offense to the maxima because it was a great car, but i want it to feel like a racecar.

its all preference... but im s13 all the way.

publicenemy137
06-30-2004, 01:24 PM
^ just b/c that article said it, doesn't mean it's true. It all just depends how you see it, and I don't see how the s14's design caters to the baby-boomers at all. Sure it is more comfortable, but who doesn't want comfort. Do you want your back to give out when you are middle-aged?

mynismo do you want to know what kind of people do i see drive around in S13's most of the time in nyc? 9 out of 10 S13's i see are driven by 50 year old hispanic women. so you can enjoy your hardcore 240's lolz. you can say the S14 is more girly and designed more for girls. i don't care, casue to me the car looks alot more expensive. some people dont' wnat to drive around ina hardcore car that looks cheap as hell. or cars that are being driven around by old spanish ladys. lolz.

dekand
06-30-2004, 07:53 PM
well the majority of the s13's i see driving around, and there are tons, are driven by teenage girls or older women... the majority of the s14's ive seen, which are very few, and thats another reason why i like them better, are driven by men... so i guess s14's just aren't hardcore, if a girl doesn't drive it its not hardcore...

rofl who the hell makes this hardcore shit? a 240 is a 240.

lol yea same here, a lot of s13's i've seen driven around are usually spanish guys also in their 40s-50s. Most s14's i've seen driving (not many b/c they are rare) are teenagers. The occasional koukis though I've seen were driven by 40 year olds, but whatever all sorts of people drive every car. Stupid to generalize a certain to a certain market, and to say the s13 is hardcore and s14 is not is just totally dumb.

07-03-2004, 10:27 PM
That was one journalists opinion, the 360 modena has more refined lines, thats cuz boxy looking cars are overated, it is all about aerodynamics and sleek design. So now are you going to say the S15 is meant for the baby boomers??? all that was changed in the body were the rear tail l;ights, and the front facia. I like my S14, it is sleek, and so is the R33 and the R34. Buy what you want or what you can afford.

hi everyone, im new in this thread, so don't let this name fool u, im a bid nissan fan, and i recently started to get into the 89 240sx, or otherwise known as the s13 180sx, but anyways.... Ive been doing some research and i found 2 engines which are easy swaps for the s13, the sr20det, and the rb20det, what is ur opinion in these 2, which is better and which has more aftermarket parts, thanks you.

There are always going to be arguments about which car is better. You can tell by my name which I like better ;). But like logik23 said who cares what other people think about the car, the only thing that matters is that you like the car.

I know. You don't see someone supporting the KA everyday. I have seen quite a few on here lately. Its finally known that the KA is a lot cheaper than the SR and just as fast. All you need is knowledge.

the ka is better

That is correct! Plus one for the good guys.

07-07-2004, 04:05 PM
the rb maybe cheaper and some say is a little more powerful, but the sr has got way more aftermarket parts that u can get with ease. If i could i would get the rb, but i hear that there is quite a bit of work ur gonna have to do to actually make it work in a s13.

can anybody tell me what do u do to get the s15 conversion to fit properly? i know, that u can buy the whole pack for like 1500-2000, if u guys know any cheaper place, let me know.... but anyways, i know that it comes with the hood, front bumper, fenders, and lights, BUUUUUUUUT, if u have flip up head lights, how r u gonna install the S15 lights?
