Ok, On friday i went to the illegal drags for the first time and they had the big sting. I got a ticket for exhaust and my intake. I just figured out today they are not fix it tickets but fines for messing with smog equipment so i have to go to court and i will win. But the ****y thing is i have to get my car checked by a ref for the next five years every year at registration. So that means i cant get a SR.

So should i keep my car:

or get a wrx

this is a subaru forum... what do you think the majority of answers will be?
granted the car you want to get rid of is not bad, but does it have everything the wrx has, including AWD?

That is a beautiful 240.. but they are severely lacking in performance without a turbo kit or SR swap. It all depends on what you want to do. If you want a car you can mod.. you probably need to sell the 240 as to not get into trouble.

That's a nice S14. I had an s14 before buying my WRX: http://www.freedombound.com/matt/nissan.htm

The WRX is so much better. I love the handling, it feels so much more stable, better safety, MUCH better power. The WRX is an excellent car.

I'll never go back

Sometimes I regret selling her because she was so gorgeous. Man that car looked so hot. It lacked too much on the power and since I need my car to be reliable daily, and due to CA smog laws I bought new instead of swapping in the SR.

Got pics of yours?

VERY NICE. Mine is still so stock

thanks for the replys. I cant believe how many of you had 240sx's before. what do you think handles better. stock wrx or your old 240sx's? I dont like the looks of wrx's that much but the performance sounds sweet. I would have to do the sti trim or something, something with the headlights, wheels, and lower it. then it will be perfect.

I still have a 240sx along with my WRX and I think that stock for stock, the 240sx handles better. The WRX is a good handling car though, it is a different car from the 240.. depends what you like. Go test drive one and see for yourself is the best advice I can give you.

I personally prefer the handling of the WRX. To me it feels more balanced than my s14 did. It seems more predictable in a corner and makes me confident behind the wheel.

Since I feel more comfortable I can push it a little farther than I would have pushed the s14. Whether or not either car would handle better in the hands of a very experienced driver, I don't know, but in my case, I can drive the WRX much faster than I ever drove the s14.

I had the s14 for two years and I've had the WRX for 2 months . I love this car.

No, I dont like the looks of a stock wrx that much STOCK. I wont lie. BUT the wrx is such a sweet deal for the car that it is and with a little bit of modifications they looks sweet.
