Default Integra GSR vs 240SX

A few weeks ago I was struggling with the decision from Choosing an INtegra GS-R or A Prelude SI 4th GEN. The decision was the INtegra GS-R. When i went to the dealer to see the GSR, it was already sold. So i took a look around and Drove the 240 SX, it was a 1996. My god those things have ballz.

Just askin, wat you guys think the pros and cons are of the Integra and the 240?

I just need a little help to bump me over the edge.

Well I can tell you that I am going to miss my 240sx when I sell it. I love the torque on those cars. They got a pretty big 2.4 liter engine which loves to guzzle compared to other 4 cylinders. Plus I got a heavy foot so that doesn't help (But that's why I bought an integra to save a bit on gas and for the nice looks). Plus I love the RWD layout. The only thing I don't like is that down here in miami it rains a lot and in the rain I can't take it out cause it barly grips with any tires i've tried. But other than that they are good cars that have builletproof auto's.

Looks are very nice, insurance is cheap and reliabilty is top notch. I have had my car for two years and have not had to replace anything but what is needed like filters etc.

the 240 is a fine car. Easy to work on, have not had any problems with any of ours here. The torque is nice, my motor put down 137hp 141tq stock, its not bad.

GS-Rs are also a prime theft target. I say go for the 240, just because of that. However, Nissans are slowly but surely getting hit up as well.

I've also heard that, until you upgrade the suspension, the handling will be a little sluggish and heavy...

I dunno... theft wise and for the RWD, I'd say the 240... But otherwise, I like my teggy a lot. You just can't be afraid to take a GS-R to the redline... All the power is way up top...

Though, if THAT's the 240sx you're looking at... that's hella clean. What's the asking price?

In other words, I wouldn't mind a 240sx, but I wont trade my Integra in any time soon.
