I thought long and hard about a 240SX. It's a great choice if you want to be in ITA, and in a rear wheel drive car, and have a chance at a win.

Advantages: Power, good brakes and pretty good handling.

Disadvantages..not to fast until set up correctly. the reas suspension isn't for the newbie, LOL. And the comments on maintenance are true from what I've heard. These aren't Hondas, LOL.

That said, the knowledge base is around now so that the car should be pretty straightforward to build.

And set up versions are out there as well. If winning in ITA is a goal, and you need a RWD car, this is one of only two possible choices. (except for the unproven oddball)
