What TCC thinks of 240s

[Fobwall]

As taken from TCC:

I’m new to tcc and the civic but I owned a s13 (240sx) for the past 2 years and I noticed that the forum I just came from ******** hate HARD on civic and Honda in general. Calling us ricers, F&F and so on!!

My question is do any of you guys / gals feel the same about the 240 or Nissan???

JDM-KID,

I’m a car enthusiast. Not a honda loving/everything else hating guy. I try not to be ‘bias’ towards other cars/car companies. I know which cars, imo, were very good, are very good, and which ones are not.

I know for a fact, ff cars are not the best drivetrain layout for racing. They can be made very fast, but in the end it’s not the best layout for it. I own a 2000 civic SiR, a ff car. It handles great, but I know it doesn’t, and will not ever handle as good as say a fully race preped miata, with the same power to weight ratio. It’s simple physics.

I don’t hate any particular type of car because of it’s drive train, layout, or manufacturer. I know each types strengths and weeknesses. Yes you can build a civic to be faster than SOME rwd cars. Ultimately, a properly setup 240 will dominate a civic on a road course race track, it’s just physics. (which type of racing were you talking about, drag, road course, autocross?)

It come’s down to a love for cars, more specifically, a love for fast cars…no matter what they are. There are some people on here who are like me, and other’s who are very bias and think civic’s are “the shat”. There are people on other car forums who will think their type a car is the best. Thats just the way it goes. I think that is wrong, because there really is no ‘best’. It’s more like, what is best for you. Personal preference.

There are so many factors when it comes to which car is better than another in all different types of racing and for daily driving that nobody can say “these cars are better than anything else”. If they think that way, then they are blind to the true facts.

So you’re in a good place here on tcc. Most of us are not ‘haters’ when it comes to cars other than civics. Quite a few of us don’t even own or drive civics presently.

Btw, Initial D is awsome, love the AE86

Cheers.

To quickly sum up all the posts; seems like most TCC members are pretty mature about things.

Moral of the thread?:
I think 240 owners here on SON should stop judging anyone who drives a FWD car, especially a Civic.

You drive a civic, don’t you Mark?

driving a civic, a maxima, a sunfire, or a cobalt, is the same thing if your just daily driving, no one makes fun of a kid who drives a STOCK 91 sunfire… but as soon as somone puts a set of rims or an intake on their civic, everyone snaps, like cars cant be project cars… when you build a car, do you take a 30g loan and finish it in 2 weeks and then bring it out on the street… no most people do things here and there, and then this and that, and finish 2-3 years later - i know the first thing i did to my zenki 6 years ago was paint the rear spoiler black… on a gold car… i thought it looked good, i painted my stock 4 lug se wheels black with polished lip… trust me… fucked up things happen lol , if anyone on this forum had taste like they do now, there car would have been baller from day one, which it wasnt lol
