'91 faster than a '97? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Got two questions for all you 240SX gurus!

I have a base model '91 fastback (120k miles) and a base model '97 240SX (40k miles).  The 91' seems to be quite a bit faster, especially when doing hard accelerations on the highway.  Is that normal?  I know the '97 is about 200lbs heavier than the '91, but I don't think it should make that much of a difference.  The '91 is out of commission right now so I can't do a GTech test or anything.  Can someone enlighten me?

Also, when I floor the accelerator on the '97, there's a squeal for about a second, sounds kind of like a belt slipping.  Can't really tell where the sound's coming from though.  Anyone run across this happening on their cars?
