Of course I know what EVERYONE will say, but I have a big debate for my “beater”.
2000 Subaru GC8 4dr
VS
1993 Nissan 240sx Coupe 2dr
Pros on GC8
-4dr, more space
-awd
-vlsd
Cons
-higher cost in replacement for engine and parts
-less knowledge and less parts available
Pros on 240sx
-rwd
-more knowledge and cheaper part replacements
-vlsd
Cons
-2dr, less space
What I’m looking for is a car I can drift, which I can do in both. Seems like a pretty damn hard decision. What to do!?!?!
subie man. always good to try something new, no? maybe you’ll like it, maybe you won’t. Only one way to find out…
SUBARU FTW!!
rip the subie for sure. they are wicked cars
Try the Subie, it’s always more fun to try something new.
The wife also wants me to get the subbie.
Plus, deep down inside I REALLY want the SUBBIE rumble.
I’d get the most deepest sounding exhaust I can get made for the car if possible. The sound itself would be so badass.
whichever car has the better heating =P
im guessing scoobydoobydoo
Maybe I’ll try and pull a Team Orange and do this.

^ That’s a nice car. Can you drift like that with AWD though?
^ That GC8 is converted to RWD.
With AWD 50/50, no you cannot drift like that.
STi with DCCD controller that allows the driver to change power input, to 10/90 then it is more possible (just like what you see in Ken Block’s vids) It’s a drift but you can still tell the car is pulling straight with 10% power to the front.
get the subbie man, my buddy bought a GC8 after he sold his hatch to me
i think you’ll have more fun with the GC8 as a winter beater
Wow i was expecting everyone to say the silvia since this is a 240 site but guess not …but ill be the first to say get a silvia.
forget the subie and get an audi s4 2.7 bi-turbo quattro
Coupe!! lol
Anything but that Audi the tool mentioned above. I would probably go Subbie as well man, might serve better in the long run. My idea would be the buy the first one that springs up as a good deal.
subbies are gay
haters are gay
Go for the subbie. You’ll love the lightweight chassis and like you said, the deep exhaust.
What’s going to happen with the Se-R?
No, not the GC8, talk to jammin before buying the car!
SE-R is for the wife and kid (weekend car to drive places)
Subbie/240sx would be the car I drive to work and rip around and winter drift in.
Ya, i know he’s had BAD experiences with them and the axles breaking on him like nothing.
hrmmmm what to do!
Well, definitely don’t get the Audi, that’s all I’m gonna add lol.
