Where did you get that number for the SX ghost?

I dont know about other 240sx owners but my 92 240sx auto weighed 2780 with the spare tire and everything in it stock.

With the rear seats and buckles ripped out and the spare tire kit removed it weighed 2700.

they tell me the Auto to manual swap takes at least 60 pounds off the car. I cant verify that my self, but that should give you a good idea.

these are weighed in front of my own eyes.

Two reasons. 1) The entire drivetrain is 100% Integra Type R. 2) Davis Acura offered to sponsor me, and as a racer you take any sponsorship you can get!

thats sweet..i bet thats a fun little car to drive

Caster angles on the old Z cars favored the Zs for forward high speed driving not drifting like what we do today. Sure its done, but with patience and practice even moreso then other cars that are more proper for this motorsport.

Those weights are subject to differences on the web. Usually there's a 200 lb difference give or take on the net. So what you say you saw is correct I would guess.

Also, I just don't think the old Z's drift that well. From what I have heard and seen, not the first choice for drifting. Love em though.

Ah its cool.

Actualy mine is a base model coupe. so its one of the lighter cars, actualy it had the auto and AC so im surprised its as light as it is.

Actually, I have my own parts supply company. I'm working on a deal with Eibach as we speak to carry their line.
