240sx in STS

STS is a good fun class for the 240sx, don't expect to win though. You will be competitive..., but not enough to win. There are some exceptions a 240 won a Regional Champship down in TX and I think another in the north east. I haven't placed better than 4th (we ususally have 30 in the class), I consider myself a good driver, but the 240 is heavy compared to the Civic I run against and I have 2 less LSDs than the 2.5RSs. I'd recommend good tires either Falken Azenis or BFG KDs.

There is a possibility of the 240 in STX but I doubt a LSD and 245 tires would make up the low HP numbers compared to the rest of the class. I could see a 240 doing ok in DSP. For myself I'm kinda scared to run DSP, I saw one of our local hotshoe's (David Fauth 4 time nat'l champ?) BMW 328is raise a FRONT tire through a turnaround, scary how much torque that car has. He placed 2nd in DSP @ Nat'ls in Topeka...
