It’s timeless advice for us all to live by , and advice that was heeded by Motor Trend in the creation of their Nissan “240SS”. The car is essentially what it sounds like: a 1993 Nissan 240SX, plus a Chevrolet Performance 6. 2 liter LS3 crate engine. In this episode of Motor Trend ‘s Ignition series, presenter Carlos Lago takes the recently-completed budget Godzilla through some winding mountain twisties to get a feel for it. The conclusion. “I might be a little biased because of the time I’ve spent working on it. maybe this is kind of what it feels like to be the father of a newborn. But this thing is the best thing I’ve driven,” says Lago. But then, it is a 2,800 pound car with about 430 HP. The 240SS accelerates from 0 to 60 in a scant 4. 1 seconds, and manages 1. 02 G of lateral acceleration. Carlos Lago and gang found that it even takes the figure 8 quicker than the BMW M3, Porsche Cayman S, and unbelievably, the Ferrari 458. Talk about bang for your buck. Source: gmauthority.com
