240SX competition

Why hasn't europe built a competitor to the 240 SX back then?
or to the whole asian cars that were like that in general? (cheap, rwd, lightweight) like the Miata, silvia?
I mean I would have asked why no continent built a car like this, but we all know american cars wouldn't be able to comepte anyways to these criterias, so lol??

>tl;dr why is there no competition to the 240SX that isn't from asia

>lightweight
>318ti
>powerful
also couldn't drift thanks to its retarded short wheelbase. It would have basically been better off as FWD in this state.

92' 240sx was $14,785
92' 318is was $23,600
92' Mustang GT was $20,199
92' Miata was $14,800

They both weigh 2,700lbs retard.

how am I moving goal posts if I'm not OP to begin with. I'm a different user. I'm just telling you how it is. Pontiac Fiero GT's aren't desirable at all and if they were, well then they would be!

Attached: 6i7EPoY.jpg (1500x1000, 232K)

I never said the fiero was desirable.

OP asked why America/Europe didn't make any lightweight, cheap, rwd cars. I was simply proving that they did. Why is that so hard to understand?

you didn't say powerful in the OP

>I never said the fiero was desirable.

yeah but you suggested it to OP, as if anyone wants that terrible car.

i think it was implied that you compare cars that are the same power, otherwise you could just say "hurr durr a smart is lightweight and RWD" but no one in its right mind would compare a 240 to a smart car

you're talking about a miata, which is down 20 horsepower to a 318 118 vs 138

>ugly
What's it like having shit taste

What if I told you that clean Silvias are overpriced these days and not worth the money if you wanted to buy in today's market?

Because Europe has something that's better in pretty much every way.

how is it better?

it's a good thing they're overpriced or they'd all become drift cars

>also couldn't drift thanks to its retarded short wheelbase

it's the same wheelbase as a non-compact E36 you retard

I wish I could delete dr*ft from history.

Euro SX was Calibra like in cheap sporty shitbox, it was insanely popular but no rwd, only fwd and 4x4.

>implying GM has no aftermarket

>later models had lotus suspension and four-wheel discs
what's it like being retarded? Fieros are a strange car, but to pretend they can't be fun is inane

but the Pontiac Fiero is ugly and undesirable for the most part. Its the white trash MR2, which is an already a poor mans Boxster/Cayman.


>Overpriced
>yet people are buying them like hot cakes.

Do you know how supply and demand works?

>lotus suspension and four wheel disccs

PHWOAH dude. And yet it still isn't desirable. GM has always been garabge. Stop trying to save face.

the 3 series compact had exactly the same wheelbase as the regular 3 series you fucking retard, and a longer one than a s13 at that

>not getting the 4WD tarbo

BMW but only if stripped out and tuned or M.
Honestly stock ones are slow as fuck, overweight and turn like boats, but they are cheap, abundant, rwd and nobody but fanboys really give fuck about them so its the ideal european entry level tuner

opel omega

this BMWs are THE dirt cheap disposable drift cars, nobody uses s chassis, its retreated to be jap classic rarity

Sounds like you have never been to a grass roots drift event in the US ever. While E36's are starting to become more popular. S-chassis are still in use by most people.

>why didn't Europe bother competing in a shitty market segment only a few models can fit in while they were making shitloads of bucks selling overpriced 'premium' sedans all over the world

I'm pretty sure he's a Euro, since he mentions E36s being the drift car of choice.

nice sensemaking eurofag

I guess. It's just that people on Veeky Forums don't seem to have a clue about what 99% of the normies care about when they buy a car, and it sure as hell isn't 'rwd' and 'lightweight'

yeah but there are also brands who make cars for enthusiasts, for example Alpine, Alpha Romo, and the Dodge SRT series....

Does the E46 rear have the same sheeting off the unibody issue that the E36 does?

Attached: 1503331462528.gif (278x234, 46K)

*sheering

are you still shitposting about your """superior""" taste with the only 10 images you have saved? That's why nobody likes people who are into S-chassis, because almost all are complete fuckheads. Congratulations.

You mean the cracking subframe mounting points? That was only the E46 afaik, not the E36.

No, the E36 rear had an issue as well
Shit, Richard Hammond's E36 in the Top Gear challenge for best affordable Euro sports sedan vs the Ford Sierra and the Cosworth E190
The E36 M3 was inspected by zee Germans and they said it failed because the rear was rotting out and he was scared shitless when he had to drive it hard in the challenge

>10 images.

that's even more sad, just putting Kouki aero on it and Ganador mirrors and hood doesn't make it super beautiful. Just because it's from Japan, literally a Weeb

I'm surprised someone on Veeky Forums know's about Ganador mirrors.

That being said as much as I like OEM+ cars like the one you posted, I love this style as well.

>Just because it's from Japan, literally a Weeb

I like the kouki aero and ganador mirrors because it makes the car look more aggressive. Same with the Type X kit.

YOU SHALL NOT PASS

Nissan is by far my favorite car brand and the S-Chassis, especially the S13, is my favorite and my dream car at the same time, but I fucking hate what Nissan has been for the last 15, soon 20 years.

youre right. a friend of mine just converted her vert to manual with the help of her boyfriend. finding the parts is ezpz assuming you aren't in bumfuck america.

type X aero = Type G + wing = Type S + sideskirts

why is the pigfat 370+z the only thing nissan will make?? nobody likes it yet they insist on pumping them out

imo the 350 and G35 was the only alright thing coming out of Renault Nissan and the interior sucked in both cars

Side note before you complain about weight base models were around 2800lbs
Also enjoy your crash in the s13 ill go ram into a brick wall

Nigs, any of the V6 rwd Alfas is a quicker car than the 240 and even the 90 sedan is lighter than a 240. That's just one manufacturer.

Okay, just to recap
>Why hasn't europe built a competitor to the 240 SX back then?
and then the guy mostly focuses on wanting to drift, a form of driving that wasn't popularized until about 10 years after the 240sx went out of production.
In short, OP is a faggot.
