So anyone see the 240SX racing on Speedvision?? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I looked pretty nice. Was a white 240SX (S14) with a blue hood/front end painjob. What really looked nice was that the center peice between the taillights was painted body colour. I wonder how that would look on my car..would it be easy to do?

That said, the 240SX was doing very well (think it was in first) till the Celica hit it while trying to pass it and the 240sx ended up spinning out and hitting the boards on the side.

anyone have any specs on it?

Yah. Crashed... stupid celica.

Yea I have seen that race... that was gay shit!!  I don't know who was at fault.  I'd like to think the Celcia, for my affinity for Nissans, but problably just being too aggro.

I think the Celica was at fault, it looked like an act of revenge to me. The Toy tried to go inside on that right-hander and the Nissan wouldn't let him squeak in so the Toy just nudged his rear and spun him out. Unsportsman like on both parties, but the Nissan wound up with the short end of the stick on that one.

Didn't anyone happen to catch the name of the team? It would be nice to know what he was packing...something tells me it probably was a Sunbelt or Rebello engine though.

It was John Saurino no #57. You can find some more info on his cars and other 240sx on the SCCA GT3 website. Ihad it bookmarked but cant find it anymore.

i saw a gt5 race with a sentra.  he won against a lot of minis and stuff.  it had a smaller engine was heavier and it still beat those minis on the straights.  those minis kick ass when they get to the twisties though but the nissan was able to hold its own and win.

i was pissed when the celica took the 240 out, it was like right at the end of the race too. i bet the driver was more pissed than neone though.
