Are 240sx good in coners, Cause I don't thinks so Options

So I was coming home from work on saturday and there is a one lane mountain road that I use to get there.I take it all the time to go hom and out of nowere a 240 pulls up on my butt. so I hit the gas and so did he (it has been a while!). the road consistes of 6 back to back hairpin curves towards the end. when we hit those I said oh no I am finally going to see how good these cars are in the coners( I had not seen them in person). so I go in as fast as the celi will let me into the first turns. and the 240 gets on the side of me and I am like oh s**t he is going to pass me but infact he brakes before I do and I see him ( from my rear view!) taking the turns like a newbie and I lose him. then he catchs up to me and we end up talking at the gas station at the end of the road(me and him had no gas). anyway to get to the point he tells me he is into drifting and that he one of the best aound my are. here I am with a st front wheel drive and bald tires and I out handled a tune 240 with what looked like some who knew what he was doing(I tested his knowlege of course. I know I am not that good hell I need more pratice on moutain type raods but to me I should have been left in the dust don't you think? or is the 240 over hiped.

not to be rude but 1975 technology has NOTHING on new millenium stuff, 260Z with new parts or not...

didnt say how well they handled

just that i was amazed that a car made in 1971 and sold everywhere in the US was good for something other than 1/4 mile

and i meant my 260z should handle better than his 240z

on a side note, i have another friend with a 1970 240z that has the same engine my 260z now has, he has 220 rwhp, with new shocks, bushings, coil overs, wheels, tires, rear sway bar and camber plates.

it really cool to see him drive around the track, passing corvettes, vipers, WRX's, sti's, evo's, 300zx's, 350z's, etc.

a lot of what makes new cars handle so well is tire technology. you could have the best suspension in the world, but stick on a 1970's set of tires and the car will grip like a 1970's car
