I'd like to clear a few things up. I have a 1995 Nissan 240sx. For starters, a 240sx with a SR@ stock boost would rock a TypeR. I know, because I have one. A lot of 240sx have LSD stock so that 99% is crap. It came with the ABS package, and the hicas package, so there are TONS of them around. I have a LSD on my 95. An the GST vs. 240, a 240 would have a GOOD chance of winning. I've taken GSTs and even GSXs with my KA. The KA is a torque monster, don't take it lightly. It has a much better power band than most 4cyls.
The 240 has 155hp, 160tq and it's about 2650lb and RWD
The GST has 210hp, 214tq and it's about 2900lb and FWD
It's not that hard to figure, that the 250lb less, and the RWD could easily make the HP difference it would take to win.
I could walk any FWD car off the line (both running street tires). That ALWAYS gives me a huge advantage.
I've seen a Type R run a 15.5 @LACR (don't remember speed), it only has exhaust and a CAI.
I've ran 14.4@101 at LACR. My SR isn’t "stock" though although it's stock boost, I have 3in down pipe, and full 3in exhaust, FMIC, and a K&N.
Line me up with any TypeR and I’ll walk on him.
The video you guys were referring to I have on my site the video is a joke, no way the typeR would pull on him. It was obviously a Honda bias video:

It's a slow server so I don't want to hear complaining, if you want the video you'll wait, if not you wont
