Yea, the 240's aren't really fast cars at all. Maybe a silvia transplant into the seven would be more reasonable, just a thought.....lol. If he REALLY wanted to do a transplant..he should go for the 20B!

stock for stock a 240sx will kick an n/a rx7 ***. Maybe a bit closer w/ the 89+ 7's. They weigh about the same, put out more torque, and are also RWD.

I drive and love my rx7, but I also respect the 240, its not that bad.

A guy in my car club got a silvia engine + 6 speed tranny, he's gonna put it in a 97 240 he picked up cheap. It's gonna be awesome when he finishes it.

It would be so odd to me to see a PIST-ON motor in an RX7 engine bay.

160hp with better traction rx7 will be fast then a 155hp 240sx and they r about the same weight the 240 is lighter by less then 100 pounds!!!!!!!!!u obviosuly dont know what u r talking about
i was going to buy a rx7 instead of the 240sx but i couldnt find a 240sx for a good price

Some 240's look cool, but they are few and far between, but people always turn and stare at 7's. I once was told that if they would have but a 4 banger into the rx instead of a rotary than the rx would have been really slow, is this true?

yeah he said that he loves the sound of a four cylinder with a big tip on it. He also thought that it would be a real fast car because that motor was gonna be in an rx-7. he said it would be the ultimate sleeper. I told him " your f&**ing stupid a turbo 2 is the ultimate sleeper." then he was like so four cylinders are way the hell better than a "big" 1.3 liter rotory

haha, I would challenge him to find a STOCK 4 cylinder that produces the same 153+hp per liter that a STOCK TII produces.

a stock 240 beat a stock rx, bwahahaha, even the stock 1986-1988 models would beat it, the stock 240 runs a 16.4-16.6 1/4, stock 86-88 runs 15.9-16.1. hell even the 1985 GSL-SE runs a 16.2-16.4 stock. lol i would like to see ANY 1.3 litre 4 cyl engine make 145-160hp n/a.
