i want the run down on what you guys think about both cars, i know the answers will be biass but i am still curious. i want to know where you think these cars stand in questions of Handling, potiental, and ease of everyday driving and conditions. i want something that i can have fun with without worrying about something breaking. autoX events road racing, and sometimes be nice to drag///

 

240's are great track cars, but RS's kick bootay at autocross.
The 240 has an issue with rain though The RS is definatly more of a daily driver practical type car yet still has simular power and capability, and both cars have great engines that you can swap in later if you want

So, Its pretty close... just a matter if you want RWD or AWD IMHO.

 

yeah its a tuff decision. which is the most common motor put into the RS? how much is that? and what are the specs. i wanna compare them to the prices and motors for the 240sx.

thank

 

Well you can go with turbo kits for the 2.5l... I think the ludespeed kit does 268hp to the wheels and is like $4000... You can swap in WRX engines for a few thousand, or even JDM STI or WRX engines which seem to be going for cheap right now. Or you can wait for new STI engines or Turbo Forester engines to be floating around after those come out (probably much more expensive)

Check the aftermarket turbo forums on here and over on nasioc.com

 

yeha i am pretty much set on the impreza. i wanted on ebefore i bought my 240. heres my chance to get one finally. i plan to do some kind of ej20 swap eventually. not sure which would be cheaper. a wrx motor or an older sti motor. people been telling prices from 1,500 to 8,000 i dont know. big difference,
