Default Me vs 240

So I was Cruising around after a local car show and this 240 pulled along side and wanted to run. So i gave it a shot. Well i got whipped. Turns out that it has a Turboed Supra Engine running 16 psi of boost. After we played a few time we pulled over and chatted a lil bit. Seems to be a cool guy. Heres the video.

For the mods in your sig you did pretty damn good against a 2jz on 16lbs imo. (I'm just assuming its a 2jz and not a 1jz idk). S14s weigh like 2800lbs too no driver so you had a pretty decent weight disadvantage as well.

That's the best part about a 240. Looks just like every other ricer...



until you're looking at the bumper



This is my brother's sr20 VVL head swapped hatch. Beat's the living pants off of everything we've gone up against, my truck by far.

They can definitely be made quick, we have an 8 second LSx 240 and a 9 second 2j 240 with another 8 second LSx one on the way here locally.

Yea there aint no shame here. If a top fuel dragster pulled up next to me i would race him. I aint skeerd. LOL The part that made it better was his girlfriend was driving at first then they switched. Thanks God. I can handle getting beat by an import but getting beat with a girl driving an import! FAIL

Those 240's are like Foxes, you never know what they have until you line up against them. One of my friend's buddies has a convertible Fox body that just looks 100% stock. Even has stock muffler tips welded up. I've only seen it a couple times, and have no idea what setup he's running, but one of the few times I talked to him he pulled out some dyno sheets from his glove compartment after he recently had a tune done. He was running 542 rwhp
