investment wise a 240s value is gonna go up even more when the next shitty installment of f&f comes out. demand for hondas just isnt there anymore. all it can be is a sleeper project.

Only a few people I know have stuck with DSM's after all of thier issues. The Brothers, Jerry, and Miguel.

I know even more dsm's with no problems at all, some with 500hp+ daily driven. SO because its a dsm, no other car in the world breaks down or has problems? They have been around for over 15 years, while hondas and nissans were being driven by the old ladys everyone bought them from, dsm's were being driven like a real performance car and now they show their signs like any car would. The majority of problems people have with dsm's are preventable or its just driver error for not taking care of it.

Understeering...you can never recover from it. Braking/acclerating/ebraking wont do. Oversteering...just use the Ebrake and turn.
FWD are more likely to understeer and you get absolutly no warning when its going to happen. RWD will most likely oversteer, and theres a feeling of when the back is getting lose.
Im a former honda owner, now a 240 lover. Ill never go back to fwd. As soon as Fast&Furious comes out, everyone wants to rice up 240/ae86. The value will rise. Within 2 years, it will drop because not everyone has the dedication/skill to actually drift, and probably FWD will shine again.
