have you ever driven one though?





your theory is retarded....dont be biased because you own a 1st gen....i admit that cars handle better than the FC..
My analogy is not stupid. A gslse with some half decent tires can handle as well as a 240sx. I will openly admit MY rx-7 cannot handle as well as a stock 240sx because my tires are **** and i lack an LSD. But match up both cars with both heavily modded suspension and the RX-7 will win. Sorry to say, but the 240sx's chassis is not as rigid as you think it might be.

Nope.



But I didnt drive a Hyundai Accent either, does that mean it could be a better handling car than the 240sx?

no that means having such "definite" opinions is useless.



i mean did you take an even poll of all the 240 models available alnog with all drivnig strategies and driver abilities? no you didnt.



maybe the rx7 driving style doesnt work in a 240, ya know they arent exactly built the same way or even in the same style, but you never drove one so this is useless.

So regardless that the RX-7 has a stiffer chassis, I should just admit that the 240, with its relatively un-stiff chassis is superior? I think I can tell wether or not a car handles well or not regardless of driver ability.



I'm sorry, but: RX-7 > 240sx forever.

Dude I understand your point and all.. but bust out the chassis strength diagrams and figures and I'll listen... All I'm hearing now is MAZDA RULES! Nissan drools.. .... And if that really was the case.... Why is it that D1 is mostly FC's and 240s?

and you never see any FB in jgtc .... but you see 180sx and s15s.....



so handling ... circuit races use the 240s, drifting uses 240s....no one uses 1st gen rx7
