do your 240s come with SR20DETs? i highly doubt that you raced a SR20DET 240. 180, silvia. Reason being, if it had that motor, it would eat you alive.

NZ tends to get everything from the twin-carb XT25s, Si and SiR - only the latter two are EFi. Mind you the JDM twin-carb 1500 is good for 105ps. From what I've seen, you guys take anything the Japanese are dumping - hell, you guys even import Commodores and Falcons from here :P

Gotta admit I'm jealous - our import laws have been incredibly tight recently - possibly because the Aussie govt. doesn't want our motor industry to collapse like it did in NZ :p

We have S13s,14s and 15s here too as well as the 180SX and Pulsar GTiR AWD - and yeah, they tend to smoke most semi-standard VTEC powered cars. Having said that, I've seen all 3 SR20DET varients owned on the track by a well modded DC2.

heh... there was no car industry in NZ to start with..
And its not just about the performance of the car... 90% of people with 'fast' cars cant drive for s**t.
