If you want a drag car, build the stang
If you want a car that handles well, light and nimble, build the 240

I have both cars so I am allowed to say the above.
i want both , but i can only have two project cars or ill go insane ... and run outa garage space at the same time ..

i see the mustang as being alot cheaper and more effective... easier to maintain ..

i miss big cams and loud pipes

Well if nissan would put out something lately that was actually worth a damn I may have been interested. But after getting the z06 I cant see another car that I would rather have right now. You make it sound like its an import vs domestic thing. Im looking at it as a how fast do you want to go for cheap and easy thing. How many actually fast 240sx are running around here? Not very many. How many fox bodies do you see??? TONS. there is a reason for that.

People always say that mustangs can handle but I aint seen one yet that can (sans race cars). Stock for stock the 240 would hand the fox body it's ass on a handling basis. Hardly anyone, especially around here, builds mustangs for any other reason but drag.
A similar generalization could be said about the 240. Hardly anyone, especially around here, builds 240's for any other reason but drift. I have seen maybe one 240 locally (over in Palm Bay) set up to actually get traction around a corner, and even then the car wasn't a competent autocrosser compared to the couple Mustangs present at the event.
