What would you choice?

I am really thinking about selling my celica and getting a nissan 240 and doing a sr20 swap. but i really dont want to leave the celica family.

What would you do?

Pro's about the celica w/3sgte

Semi fast or what i have seen so far. havent relaly been impressed yet.
Light
Good looking
nice inetior
not to many where i live.

Cons with the celica

FWD, is probley the most major one.
no one really likes them for some werid reason

thats all i can think about for that


Pros about the 240 with sr20det
Very fast, ive seen some crazy speed's with that swap.
sr20det is a awesome motor comes with forged internals stock
RWD > fwd

Cons about the 240
On the heavier side
not that good looking. unless you do a sliva conversion ( then its sweet)
alot of people have them
not that nice of interior.

Kamix, thats basically what all the consumer reports said. Not that the back flicks out quickly, but rather that the steering simply FAILS if you're driving straight at speed and then swerve; back when the 240s were popular I saw a short news story about it- and if you look in any car consumer report magazine that line is still there.
