One of my friends just got an engine swap for his 240. He now has a sr20det and he is talkin all kinds of junk about how fast it is and stuff. He wants to run me for some reason. I dont get my liscence untill 19 days so it isnt that big of a deal. In your opinion what is faster a stock z28 or a 240 with a sr20det and bolt ons.

Those 240's can get pretty quick. If your stock, then i would worry. If you have just about every bolt on possible then ur golden. If this kid knows his stuff and did his homework, he can have a mid 13 second car, but thats uncommen. But i would take SS_CarGuy advice and take it to the track. Especially if you have never really had experience racing.Eddie

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!!

One of two scenerios....... if the car does run in the 13s, only a couple of ways to do it. He will either have to run a very high rpm in order to get enough air flowing through the motor to acheive that HP level. When I say very high rpm, I mean it. He would have to buzz the thing to 8K rpm and beyond. If he revs to an insane rpm, watch out. The second way is by forced induction ie; turbo (fairly common), supercharger (unlikey) or nitrous(common). It's all about how much air it can flow combined with proper fueling. The easiest way to settle this is to print out this thread and call his bluff. Racing a young smack talking ricer has no glory. Beating him is no prize, you are supposed to beat them. It's the high performance stuff that they are trying to emulate and copy..... Choose a more lofty goal. I do have to say the 240 is a nice body style. The model on Japanese soil, the Skyline, is a genuine supercar with awesome performance. It however comes with a very hefty pricetag which really makes you question the value of it. If I remember, the price is similar to a new C6, the performance is not too far off either.
Bottom line is that unless he has dumped huge amounts of dough just to make it modestly fast, it's not even worth a thought. I still wouldn't even waste my gas or risk street racing. Take it to the track, put some money on the race and go home with some extra change in your pocket if you must.

I agree with you on that. The main goal in moddin my car is to have a car good for the street and the srtip. In other words a car that is fast but not too powerfull and just carry a set of slicks in my back seat for when ever i take it to the strip. Right now my goal is to run 12s it will take some work as well as some money but i believe if you do things the right way and dont take short cuts then things usually turn out alright.
