The best moment would definitely be driving home from the dealership. The whole time we were talking to the salesman, i was grinning from ear to ear

so it lacks... quite a bit... in stock form. Well. now that i know where it stands, i know where i want to go with it. I will say though, that it IS a lot more sluggish than my acura. Rest in peace... well in about 4 months, once my nissan gets a new paintjob.

what color are you going with for the 240?

also, atleast you have a second car with some ***** to it...my second car is an 86 chevy celebrity-light blue, more rust than paint. 1 side mirror, no rear view mirror, the other mirror is tin foil to fool the police! paid $800 for her then destoyed it to were it is now.

my best moment.... was....

when i was doing about a buck20 on the hutch in upstate ny
i was coming back from court to pay off tickets and score some points on my license...
i was happy that the judge let me off easy so i was flooring it all over the place... ( yea im stupid )

i was hopping 3 lanes ... doing stupid shiet... and i exit out ... going to my friends house to have dinner...

when a cop pulls me over....

now... note... i came back from court... paying for speeding and * modified muffler *

i get pulled over... thinking to myself that shiet i got caught again!!! and on the same highway too.... so i pull out my docs and i ask what's the problem...

he says * you have a modified muffler* ....

i was like.... WTF? ... i mean i was doing 120+ and hopping lanes like an idiot and you pull me over for this? i was actually happy....


now why is this the best moment? ... becuase the cop who pulled me over was the SAME cop that pulled me over the speeding and the muffler BEFORE.... this guy .... don't you love him? hahahahaha it was very memorable...

I got a great one, and it just happend a couple of days ago.

So I'm slowing up to this stop light, but this stop light isn't your ordinary stop light, this one is mad uphill. Well I'm not a very experienced manual driver, seeing as how I'm only 16 and ive only had my 240 for a few days now. Anyway, Im a few feet behind the stop light so I decide to pull up to the line. I press in the clutch and start rolling backward (curse those hills!) so I panick and give it too much gas so it revs like crazy. I get to the line and I look around me, a brand new Corvette to my left and a BMW M3 behind me. I look over at the corvette guy and he looks back at me, but i look away quickly cause im pretty sure i just challenged him to race. Well the light turns green and the corvette guy takes off, and me pressing the clutch in again, starts rolling backward toward the BMW, I panick (ya i know, again) and let out the clutch too fast and my tires spin out. Well I start up the hill and the M3 guy gets over to my left and launches past me and as I look over at him hes giving me a dissapproving glare.

Whoops.

P.S. keep in mind my 240 is bone stock, so i dont have a whole lot to flaunt. lol.

My first drift...

going around a 90 degree left turn at about 45, and I turn the steering wheel to the left and let my rear end come out. I look in my rearview mirror and see smoke from my tires.

The best time ever so far.

I have around 200hp

I have cam, full exhaust system headers back, cam gear, shift comfort wire unplugged*, and other stuff.

All carpet, and most panels out, and rear seat out, and other stuff out, I dropped about 50+ pounds.

I have a auto tranny, until the sr20det swap.

*if you don't know, it lets the car shift hard, it makes my head move backwards and hit the seat.

I bought the car this way, I havn't installed any mods myself.

1/4mi @ 14.31sec. @ 114mph (after all mods)
1/8mi @ 15.49sec. @ 91mph (before several mods)
