240's arent that quick straightline, but they handle awesome, they run like 16 flat, na 300z's run 15.2 i think, and look around here to see the various VE runs. id take the 240 just for fun driving

240 best all around, most aftermarket following and best lookin' to me (after the gods at cwest or bomex, or veilside get a hold of it)

Maxima for a father

300zx na for an idiot... get the TT or the 240sx in my eyes.. it's heavier then sin man...

truly though in my heart a 5spd Z32 wouldn't be that bad.....I know its heavy as hell and all, but I love the look of them and they've got enough mods to get it going pretty good! but still the best all around choice is probably the 240, hands down!

I would say go for the 240. Best handling by far and a huge aftermarket following. It's easy to turn one of those into a beast (sr20det!) and depending on the year they're look pretty good. Of course the max is in a different category, but if you wanna roll around with several friends in comfort, look good and still be fast you can't beat it. As for a NA Z don't bother.

240

I raced a stock 91 240 5spd and he was next to me up until 75 mph. I am pretty modded, so I say go with the 240. But, you have to get 5spd. I also raced a 94 240 Auto at the drag strip. He ran a 17.80 in Vegas.
