Better track car? 370z or 240SX

1) The main reason you don't see many in track days, etc is most of them do not have the power to keep up with the bigger cars.

2) They do handle and it does not take that much to make them even handle better. I know someone who is a instructor that has one and races it. He loves taking the vettes, and other cars without a issue and he never did much with the suspension till recently.

3) Most 240s are into Drifting than anything now.

By the time you get everything done, you either have a car that is not streetable or you would have spent so much money that you are better off buying a new car. The only good thing about those cars is that you can crash and junk it and not feel any financial hurt from it. Heck, that's assuming you will be alive after a crash given how old and poor the chassis is.

If you don't believe me, look at any professional racing series, see how many 240sx you see. I don't see any in autox, track days, club racing or any other.

Drifting is not racing.
