Which would you pick out of the following and why?
1) 1992 - 1994 240SX with SR20DET engine and some light mods making 230 - 250HP.
2) 1992 - 1994 Talon/Eclipse/Laser AWD with some light mods making 230 - 250HP.
Which do you think would cost more to do and maintain? I think that the 240SX with the engine swap would be more expensive because of the, well, engine swap, while the DSM would break far more often (although better handling because of the AWD?).
And yes, of course reliability and money is a concern, as well as handling, power, etc!
Well, I think the Talon might be a winner! Why?
'93 Talon TSI AWD: $2093 (Edmunds private seller)
'93 240SX SE: $3643 (Edmunds private seller)
And, that's before any SR20DET swaps. Even if the talon breaks more often, that's a huge price difference. What do you guys think?
