Now that post makes a lot of sense. I would take a blinged out Mazdaspeed Miata any day of the week, damn cars are amazing. I would leave the body stock, love that factory aero. ---

Did you ever stop to wonder WHY all those super high performance cars aren’t FWD? On a stock level it might be a little different though, especially if you’re not pushing it hard and stuff. anyway, nice to hear about the RSX-S. It’s a nice car and i’m sure it’s a lot of fun to drive. 😃 ---

hey, i have a mx-5. Great little cars that fly when you want them too. The only bonus to having a rsx-s is its a hardtop & the back seat to put stuff. In the miata there is no room , not even for a bottom of water. So that rules out the drivethrews. but hey man if you want to sell that rsx-s & trade it up for a mx-5 miata (6speed also) with 1075 km. ! ---

Well if you guys think your 240s are that good we can always line up some races and see… and i will bring out a couple turbo rsx’s to compete with your turbo 240s… and you n/a guys can go @ it with me… sounds like a deal? I love 240s but you guys are knock every car that ISN’T nissan… what kinda car enthusiasts are you?? RSX out performs your 240 in every single aspect… ---

> [@aschon](#): > > in what aspect does your 240 out perform an RSX stock for stock? please tell me. Once again, how can you even mention pitting those two against eachother, when one is 13 years older than the other? Not only is your RSX almost brand new, but cars come with much higher performance equipment these days. Of course your RSX would outperform a stock car from 13 years ago… that comparison doesn’t make any sense at all. ---

1. I’d love to see you beat a stock 240 on an oval track or drifting in general. 2. I paid 2000 for my car & it will keep up with your nicely. But the question is how much did you pay? **[2000 \> $,\*]** 3. I’d like to see your rsx out preform on getting the shit beaten out of it better then a 240 also. :lol: 4. appearance (to me) and all I can really end this with is that I paid a lot less for my jap scrap then you did. so who’s the real winner here? The guy sitting in the nice up to date rsx, or the guy sitting in the 240 with an extra 30grand in his pocket. not to mention what jesse just said. You also have to keep in mind these are just opinions man. Enjoy your rsx, you might get bored of fwd soon though.& besides I wouldnt mind sitting with a/c right now :roll: ---

Enjoy your rsx, you might get bored of fwd soon though.& besides I wouldnt mind sitting with a/c right now :roll: haha, ok give me a second here to respond… 1. my car will definitely out perform a stock 240 on an oval and on any track… thanks!.. and wtf is drifting?? when do you actually get the chance?? yah, not much. 2. you think your car will keep up with mine nicely?? well I pick it up tomorrow… we can always meet up and see?? care to pay any wagers?? i’ll give your stock 240 bus’s… 3. I drive a honda(acura)… not a hyundai… you think I can’t beat the crap out of my motor?? who are you kidding… dont think your 240 is gods creation. 4. Appearance? this is where I definitely agree with you… on the outside… a 240 has my heart… but interior?? you can’t compare… RSX has probably the nicest interior you can find for under 50g’s in any sports coupe. Oh and about the 30g’s in your pocket… I highly doubt that if you had 30g’s laying around you’d still be in your 240sx, no offence. -Adam ---

This argument is silly-ness. If I only had 4G’s (which was the case), I’d buy an S13 (which again was the case) If I had 6-8, I’d pick up an S14. Skip a couple of cars in between, and we get to what you paid for the RSX… You can pick up an RX-7 FD. There’s a 13 year old car that will trash your RSX in every aspect. If you had to go new, there’s always the Mazdaspeed Miata, or even an N/A Miata for that matter. The RSX is a pretty car, no doubt, and it’s a pretty good handling FWD, but it ends there, it’s still JUST a FWD. ---

that rsx would most likly be faster around a road course than a stock 240… and to solarian… the FD is a pile of shit that blows up at random… now the fc on the other hand… thats gods gift to the car enthusiast. this is also locked… cus i said so.
