OK, I am pissed. lately weve been having meets in the south jersey area. we just started 2 weeks ago. we have 5 to 6 240s. most of us have 91 and up. but there is this one guy that has a 89 240sx. and everytime he races us, that car always wins by 2 cars. isnt dohc 155hp faster than a sohc 140hp.

I confess all of our dohcs are pretty much stock but in great condition. All he has is headers and an intake. and like most us know. those mods dont do much to the car.

I found out that sohcs have a lighter flywheel compared to the dohcs and the engine is more lighter. but still, dohcs have 155hp. most of us are a little pissed behind his back. cause we have the dohc engine, can anyone justify this. and yes we all have 5 speeds and know how to drive. most of us  owned 240s over 3 years.
