The dude was asking specific to Auto-X, and I agree 240sx's can hold their own on a track but if the dude was in the market for a car specifically to Auto-X it and nothing else then I still would have to say that there are better cars to Auto-X... but you can't beat the fun of a 240SX for all-around.

Good luck with HPDE... I've been looking into that over Auto-X, since I'm not to sure I'd be satisfied with running in 2nd gear around cones all day

If I was getting a dd for autox that would be competitive I would go eg civic or b13/b14.

Both get diffs.

Both would be fun.

I have a P10 and love it to death. Damn motors swap from chassis to chassis so keeping the SR healthy and fun is easy.

If you crave power turbo the de or get a det.

you dont come up to those do you??

stock - s14's definately have better handling. But s13's can handle just as well with some suspension work

I think your thinking of the wrong E-town nsn, I believe your thinking about Elizabethtown, PA.

I believe Stan is referring to Englishtown, NJ
