Hey guys im about to go race a 240sx..
A friend of mine has a 1994 or 95 i cant really remember stock 240.
I want to race him just to see how my car stacks up. Heres the head to head stats. 240: 155 HP 5 speed Pro: 130 (so says mazda :p ) Automatic (im a fool) Here are the similarities: About same weight No engine mods. Major Advantage on my side: Mine is newer and it had better suspension. Major Advantage on his side: Alot more Hp 5 speed. Ill be back later with results and comments :eek: :eek: |
Oh ya i dont expect to beat him, i just want to see what my car CAN do.
And obviously if i do hang in with him pretty good that should discontinue any acusations(sp?) of the Pro's HP being anything less than 130. |

He's also RWD, that'll be good for a nice launch. Let us know how you stack up :)

Hate t osay it but he's probably gonna beat you, not by much though. The 240SX has more torque than horsepower and the fact that they are RWD helps. Only factor I can figure is that the Protege may have a better midrange/top end than the 240. Anyway, good luck and let us know how you did.

Argh, couldnt race today after all we had to work on a friends tranny (well i just watched)
But hopfully we will do it tomorrow, either way it will be done and i will post the result! Peace |
No, you won't beat him. I own a 1993 240sx - it is older, but it is more sport-oriented, and it owns my P5. Not sure about the S14s, but the S13s ('89-'94) weigh a tad less than the Proteges, with more RWHP and TQ, RWD, and a much stronger tranny (can withstand up to 450hp). The Protege does not, in fact, have a 'better' suspension. It is newer, but the 240sx handles as good as or even better (.89g IIRC).
The only way you'd win is if the guy doesn't know how to drive a stick. Oh, and you have an automatic? Be prepared to lose horribly... |

Actually, I think you'll get slaughtered. I used to have a 91 Stanza 5spd which used the KA24E single cam variant of the KA24DE twin cam in the 240. Even in my Stanza I could easily hang with or beat most V6 automatics. If he doesn't beat you- he's doing something really wrong.
|
well at least he admitted that he was going to lose. :D I have a 90 240sx and that car would eat my 2002 Mazda for breakfast. :( I miss my car! Wish it was drivable now. :rolleyes:
|
So'd you race this guy or what??
