you would be absolutely stupid not to get the 240. BUY THE 240! BUY BUY BUY! i wish i had that kind of money! I love the s14! Unless you wanna buy it and give it to me?

i believe the pacific blue is a 97 model for the 200SX and the 98 one is called deep crystal blue

well, personally, if you wanna go fast, the 240sx! Superior suspension setup, and most importantly.... RWD!!!! If you want greater practicality, get the 200sx; more rear seat room.

oh, thats tuff. The 240, but maybe only cause I haven't actually owned one. I'd go s13, but the s14 is sweet. 98 200 has no LSD, c'mon it's all watered down with emissions too. Laters for that.

I would say to test drive both cars and see what you would like. Gosh... I'm starting to miss my '98 SE-R... It was Deep Crystal Blue.

I'd say go with the 240sx, so long as you plan on swapping a DET in. I really wish I still had my old '91 S13 to work on:(

oohh, man that's not fair!! well, you could easily swap DET's into both, you could paint either one whatever color you wanted. but you could also get crazy w/ the 240 and create the first hampton roads Silvia! not to mention, the 98 200sx doesn't have a hot swap ECU option (will have to get a 97 to send to JWT). the 200 fells zippier than the 240, but the latter handles well. is this gonna be a daily commuter?

being a 240 owner and a sentra owner what do you think i would pick?

ok nevermind I picked a 240 of course, that car just feels alot better imho but to bad you didn't include a s13 coupe.

I guess for looks the s14 m/c is just a tad better:cool:

I'd ge tthe 240SX, I wanted one but I couldnt find any manual ones... I was also pressed for time, so I took my 200SX over countless Civics.

But the 240 will handle more power without headache... More sporty looking, rwd. Looks better hooked up, those headlamps say it all.

That is one of my choices for my next car, the other, a 98+ Subaru 2.5RS

well, for a det swap, id go with a 240 cause its rwd and wont be spinning the tires constantly, but if you just want simple mods, id say go with the 200.
