Maxima Comparison ?

Which car would handle better through a turn. A 97 Maxima SE 5 speed with 225/50R16 rims or a 95 and up 240sx with same tire and rim combination?

Re: Maxima Comparison ?

If everything else is stock for stock, then the 240. RWD has better balance. if you add an FSTB and RSB to the Max, however, then that should bring the Max much closer to the 240, and still be more powerful, smoother and more practical. Best of both worlds with the max. 1 world with the 240.

I am thinking more of Maxima with 225/50/r16 rims with fstb vs. 240sx with 225/50r16 rims with fstb, rsb, and fsb.

In that case the 240sx.
