ggzilla Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Why are you against 240Z? It's not that bad of a car. Quote Link to comment
85720Bullet Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 LMAO I have owned 2 X 240SX first one was a fulldrift S13 with RB25 and the second was a S14 with a RB20 in it.. Just a stab at the 240 folks used to be one but its just like the honda scene its played out... Josh My sticker is for 240SX not the old school 240Z that is just wrong to disrespect the origin.... :) Quote Link to comment
