If it doesn't say "Z" after the 240, I don't care.

Oh... my.... god! People on here hate 240s. The reason I got rid of my MR2 was because it was automatic. Then I got the S13 with a 5spd. 5spd is win. I would have instantly called, bought it, cleaned it up, then sold it for 6K. Then bought an SR swapped S13 hatch. And then an MKI with the left over.

On the contrary, I'm a huge 240z fan.

For the record, I don't hate the 240s, but it is the Civic of the RWD community. It's dull, uninteresting, and slow.

The only thing that really bugs me about the 240s is that people call it a 240, which gets me all excited that I'm gonna see some specially modified (and thoroughly awesome) 240z, only to be let down and shown this basic family hatchback.

Anyway, here's a proper 240:

It's not a ridiculously oversized exhaust- it's a twin turbo 4.5L V8 pushing over 700hp to the wheels. It's not exactly a Honda Civic motor...

Early Z's are sexy, light, plenty of room under the hood, well supported, and well... sexy.

The Blue 240 above is fantastic. I especially like the titanium charge pipes.
