Now this is a Silvia I like....

Although I love my WRX, I'm still somewhat of a American Muscle Car type of guy at heart. That's why I REALLY like this 240SX conversion

Corvette LS1. even if it is stock, 350 HP/350 ft-lbs. And that torque is down low too . No idea what the stock motor in that car would weigh, but the LS1 is only 450 lbs (alum block, alum heads) so it probably isn't THAT much heavier than stock.

nasty exhausts. theyre not even fitted into the bumper correctly. all that custom work and no custom piping?

which reminds me, this morning i saw a nasty white and pink lexus SC400 with huge spinners, not lowered, on highway 4 east at 680. this nissan just reminded me of what gross wheels and a bad paint job could do to japanese cars.

I'd take it... And paint it flat black, do some crazy donuts. Missing core support and not even a STB tho.. Bad news.

Sorry bout that

Guess I should have clarified.....I like the engineering/mechanical aspects of it. I certainly would NOT have chosen those cosmetics on the project . 2-tone paint works on very few cars......that isn't one of them .

FWIW, those are C5 Corvette exhaust tips. Sort of a subtle hint as to what lies under the hood.....

I'd take that car, buy a Stingray and a RB26DETT (or whatever the engine code is) and make things right again. That guy is apparently very confused.
