Nice car to be in your garage, but I don't race it, its like my jewel I will not use it.
The 240Z deserves a LOT more credit than that!!!
Although most people see the 240Z and say, "150 HP? This car sucks! ... What the heck..." buy it and never use it. This is not the way to treat the 70's equivalent of a Lotus Elise!
100/100
Even when stock, the 240Z can beat cars in the 245 HP class, and can top out at over 130 MPH. Although fully tuned it reaches only 319 HP, the car can actually keep up with the pack of 542 HP cars. I took it to the Laguna Seca Pacific League and got 2nd place. Not bad for an old underpowered car, huh? It easily demolishes the competition in the 493 HP class.
Now, about the handling. The car is so light it turns on a dime. Adding a Limited-Slip differential gets rid of the quirkiness and turns it into a combination drift/race car. Tune the suspension for your liking. Also, this car is Naturally Aspirated and is one of the few cars that can benefit from a Bore & Stroke upgrade.
Now as for rally, this car does not have the benefit of AWD, so launches are a bit slow. However, it more than makes up for the loss of acceleration traction with its impressive cornering. For rallies, you win it in the turns in this car. Drifitng is quite easy off-road in the Z.
Truly, the 240Z is the perfect underdog car.
On a last note, the racing mod does not include a carry handle wing or an airplane spoiler, so muscle car enthusiasts enjoy the Red White and Blue...
