Default I Test Drove a '97 240SX... God I Love Honda!

Yesterday I had some fun test driving a 240SX... The only nice thing about it was the rear wheel drive and the fact that it was only me and my buddy in the car. The car felt faster than my Accord but when watching speed I noticed they are about the same. I have a 95 EX Coupe... the 240SX is rated at 10 more HP I think, and it's about 200 lbs lighter. One thing I noticed is that the 240SX felt faster up hills etc, but my VTEC helps a lot with high end torque over the 240SX. Either way I had a blast drifting and flooring it everywhere I went. The interior of the car was falling apart not to mention... and it had been wrecked before. It was $7k with 65k miles on it. I also noticed that the engine bay isn't quite as modder friendly as my Honda.

Yeah I also test drove a 240SX and to be honest it felt as fast or a little slower than my Civic. They are nice looking cars but have sh*ty engines.
