Haha, that's funny about the sticker. I do appreciate a well built 240SX but these around here, there just thrown together within a week just to go to a "drift" event the upcoming weekend. I understand that people don't have all the money in the world to throw around in cars but Jesus Christ, take a little time, save up your money and do it right.

Tell me about it! Insurance for my 240 is more than insurance for my z28, which I'm guessing is thanks to all these stupid little "drifters" crashing thier cars. Which is a shame, it's a good little car, handles amazing on stock suspension and worn out front tie rods.

What does your "race car" run? Cause there are true "street cars" all over the country running single digits.

I would be severely embarrassed calling my 12-13 second car a "race car" unless it had at least proved itself with some killer lap times or autox wins.
