i have been waiting to see a 240 on this show for a while and the only one  
that gets on the show has a v8 in it. don’t get me wrong i love this swap  
or anything hybrid. but the only reason a 240 was on the show is because  
it had a v8 in it. and guess what the opponet was? a fu\*king stang as  
usual. why this show doesn’t have more ture import races i will never  
know.

now that i have that out of my system, i have a ???  
what kind of rear end do you think the 240 was running.

peace

There was an RX-7 on the show… I’m not too up on my generations but it was the one before the red one in F&F.  
Lost, but still an import…

it was a custom back half of the car, with a race differential  
probably with a 4 link suspension, as the car took off pretty straight  
on launch

There was an RX-7 FC vs. Civic battle, it’s the only ep I’ve seen, my friend had it on his computer and showed me it. I kinda liked it. I’m the first to shit all over drag racing, but this is kinda fun. There’s deceptive tactics involved.

And a krgoodwin is right, in a way, an LS1 240 isn’t a 240 anymore, because 240’s are total pieces of wood. An LS1 240 is a potent sportscar capable of laying down serious beatings in ANY form of motorsport, not just drag. Infact, the reliability and power make it ideal for GT racing. Don’t believe me? Ask Sasha how many times he could’ve won and didn’t b/c he drives a turbo car. They break a LOT.
