I realize how illogical this is and he is usually worng about this stuff but i had a hard time finding good numbers for the weights of the 4 dr. integras im pretty sure that he's full of shit but i'd like to see the numbers. This is the same guy that tried to tell me they made a 6 cyl civic and that the nissians were named for their target horsepower (200, 240, 300...)
ok...here goes. The last time I saw a weight comparison, I believe (although I could be wrong) that the 4 door only weights about 100 lbs more than the hatchback. As for the nissan motors...haha...you're friend is slightly cornfused. The number 200SX...240SX...300ZX is relating to the engine size, as does BMW (323, 330, 525, 540, 645, 745, 760, etc) and Mercedes (C230, C320, E230, E320, E430, S430, S500, S600, etc.) with the way they badge cars. Trust me...there is no way that a stock 240SX has 240 HP..they are somewhat torquey though
...they share (or at least used to) the same 2.4 L engine that the Frontier (or whatever the old Nissan truck was named) had in it's 4-cyl option. Hope this clears it up a little for you.
