240's put down around 145-160whp depending on the engine, but have been known to put out more in stock form. I had a really strong engine.
We started from a 20mph roll so no one could bitch about traction. He got a 1 car jump. right after I went into second I caught up and by the time I got 3rd I was a little more than 3 cars ahead still pulling. How do I know he was racing? Cause he asked me and he honked the race. Now I might be the exception for stock 240s cause I've raced slightly modded 240s and blew them away.
