I test drove one and liked it...just not enough to buy it. BTW I have the brochure still from Honda when the new EP3 first came out (2002). I have no need for it, so I bet someone would give it a good home.

True. Most nissan owners think their 240's are hot ****, but in reality, they have pathfinder engines in them. Unless they've swapped the SR20DET, but how many people really do that? Not many.

Actually there's more and more, and those nissan owners that are stuck up little bitches probly have something done. And sr20det engine+tranny+ecu are fairly nexpensive these day. Runs around $1,250.

You must not know, THERE IS MANY. It's the only true-way to get that silvia feel. Id take an old school 240sx w/ an sr20det over an rx8, but that's just me.

Also, the specV guys that talk **** can, there can take an sI w/ no prob (stock vs. stock)

I know someone with a 240sx 1992 !automatic! coupe model. He thinks its hot ****, he even stores the peice of crap for the winter.

Spec V is hella fast I just don't trust the reliability. And the looks hmmmmmmmmm. But looks are subjective.

Its not that expensive to have an SR20DET swap in an old 240sx, its quite a but cheaper than buying a brand new Lancer raliart. So if you'd take a 240sx/sr20det over a RX-8 there is nothing stopping from taking it over Ralliart or a Civic.

Yeah, one thing stopping it is personal prefrence. I would take a enzo over the supra... but that's not the topic of subject.

Enzo over Supra(one car is over 500k where the other one is less than 1/10th the price) isn't like compariing 240sx/sr20det with a Ralliart. Both cars are attainable. Its not about personal preference you said yourself that you'd rather have a 240sx/sr20det than a RX-8. You have a ralliart which is more expensive than getting a 240sx/sr20det but much cheaper than RX-8.

So according to your analogy 240SX/sr20det > rx-8 and there is no doubt that RX-8 is > ralliart. So cost comes into play so if you like the 240sx/sr20det so much more than the rx-8 it makes no sense to own a Ralliart.

You see its easier said then done, I'm sure you considered the pratically issues of owning a tuned car like a 240sx/sr20det in North America. Incldung all the complications, of legalities emmisions and all not to mention the maintenance.
