Is a 240sx a fast car?

Not at all. If you're looking for fast, stylish and economical try a domestic not that jap crap. Try a mustang fox body or 3rd Gen camaro. While they may cost you in gas, parts are dirt cheap and you can do it all yourself, saving labour costs. Those 302's and 350's will run until the apocalypse as long as you change the oil every 3 thousand miles. The same can't be said of those little 4 bangers in a 240. Don't buy one
