I love downhill racing, and all light RWD cars.  
Because it is all about lightweightedness right!

Here is the question:

What are the lightest models of each year for the 240SX?

I am a bit confused because I have many different #'s.

Here’s what I got:

Year Weight

1989- 2650.lbs

1990- 2684.lbs

1991- 2657.lbs

1992- 2730.lbs

1993- 2807.lbs

i guess those numbers are right, sohc model should be the lightest since the motor is smaller but i guess the difference is in no power options.

As far as North American models are concerned, the lightest you’d find would be an 89-90 stripper coupe and, the convertbile notwithstanding, the heaviest would be a 91-93 loaded LE fastback.

I’m guessing the range between the two is ~200-250lbs?

I don’t get it what differs a 1991 car from a 1992 from a 1993? to increase the weight 100+ lbs / year?

Maybe in 91 they tested a base coupe… in 92 they tested an SE coupe and in 93 an LE hatch?
