Going from Z and back.
 
I just want to share my observations from one RWD Nissan to another RWD Nissan.

So I finally got my 240SX back to its stock KA24DE setup (was turbo'd and rice'd up). I forgot I haven't driven the car for nearly 6 months.

I remembered when I drove the Z, a lot of things I've noticed compared to my 240sx:
-feel more planted to the ground.
-more power on the wheels.
-cornering feels slightly heavy, but very controlled.
-interior is almighty beautiful.
-eye turner whenever I go.
-great potential for power, but feels right on stock power.

Then I got back to my 240sx again and noticed:
-omg, I feel light as a feather.
-I forgot sliding around is fun.
-I don't feel bad about pushing hard & gas mileage.
-car feels quick in its own right.
-really agile car (not Miata status, but still good) and would only need 250HP for it to be really fun.

Here's an image of my Z under the tent right next to my 240sx.

My plan is to do some light upgrades to the 370z, but afterwards, I would like to restore my 240sx into nearly "new stock" look with some performance aftermarket. I had a 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S, but I've driven RWD since I first driven my 1985 Toyota Celica GT and never felt "right at home" with FWD...though I would make an exception with AWD.
