You might as well. New driver or not, a stock 240 is only running 140hp. Go teach this chump a lesson.

i thought it was 155hp? the stock 240 is pretty fast with lots of torque.... if he knows somewhat how to shift he probably has your beat....

The gear ratio is very week on the low end of a 89-93 240sx, they are not that fast... But your jimmy is probably auto and you won't get that good of a start of... As long as you guy's do a straight race and no turning, you probably will beat him..
That for the four cylinder, I think they might make a 6 cylinder in that year...??? Thoughs would be faster.

those 240sxes are slow. i have no idea how fast a jimmy is. probably not too fast either.

dude, theres only 1 way to find out. race him. and try not do anything stupid....

I hate people that will only race if they know they'll win.....race anyway....if you lose, so what?....it's fun none-the-less

Haha, I say race him. For you, it's a win/win, and for him it's a lose/lose.
You'll probably win anyways.

240's aren't fast:

Never had 6 cylinders. Silvias and 240/180's all were 4 bangers.
