Now how about power adders? The best bang for your buck here is the SR20 swap. I have previously done 2 of these. The only way I would ever do this swap again is by putting an S13 SR20 into a S13 chassis. Too involved in the S14 and S15. Plus the JDM body conversion is cheaper for the S13 and IMO looks better. Still a drifter, a lot cheaper, and a hell of a lot easier. Get the Integra or an S13.
Have you ever driven a boosted KA? It is a world of difference. Just saw a ka on stock internals put down 476whp. I believe it was backyard productions that did this. I think the sr swap is pricey compared to building a custom turbo kit for a ka.

Forget all those cars, Just get a 94 Benz E500, V8 420hp. ARGHGHGHGHGH, damn i love those cars, but anyways i was about to buy a 240sx and i mean, they dont look too bad, id prolly say it looks better than integra and performace wise it was pretty quick. Now first of all you have to decide what you want before you buy a car. If you are willing to spend quiet a bit of money on doing a swap on the 240 than ya you might as well get that one because most likely you are never going to get that kind of power out of a gsr. Now if you arent going to do a swap i guess it just comes down to a few things. First of all if you like doing donuts and peeling out and etc. than you obviously get the 240 because you wont be able to have that part with the gsr. Personally i would love to be able to do donuts (we do it in my friends benz though) However if you want to get the most power and speed out of your money than there is no question that you would get the integra. Because it produces 170hp and it has vtec so stock you would beat the 240 pretty easily. The last factor is the looks. Personnally like i said b4, i like the looks of the 240 just because it has the little more aggressive look in the front and also it is a little bigger and meaner. I like that. But the integra has its pluses as well. It is a bit smaller and rounder. I dont necessarily like rounder cars but for some reason i like the integra because it matches with the body and the whole style of the car. Now what you have to do is sit down and think what it is you really want, weather it is looks, stock performance, aftermarket peroformace, potential and as always the budget because you dont want to get a 240 and then borrow lots of money swapping the engine and building up the car and then in the end having to sell the car in order to cover your debts because that would be plain stupid. So just think about those things because you dont want to get over you head thinking that you are going to be doing all these things to the car when in the end you are just going to end up with a stock car just how you bought it. Because what the guys are telling you about making the 240 420+ horses is very temping but it also cost lots and lots of money so if you are willing to do that than its fine but if not than your best bet would be just to go with with a nice clean gsr that would last you a while and look moderatley good too if you are willing to spend some money on it. Hope this helps you in your decision man. Good luck

:blah:

This is getting out of hand. Buy the freaking car that you want already.

The 240 vs. (insert random fwd Honda here) debate is old and boring.
