alright boys and girls, i was just thinking about this today. Which is better? the 240 or the altima? Same engine, but which had the hotter cams, better compression and more usable power band? who had the better trans? whos brakes and handling are better? just general discussion on this topic.
KA24DE, that was in the altima and the 240 at the same time i believe.
before the altima came out i think they had a KA24E (until 1990)
then in 91 they came out with the KA24DE wich they put in the altimas (93-01) and the 240's (91-98)
the 240 was RWD and the altima was FWD. short of that, i always heard that 240 brakes were bad..altima brakes were pretty good and had better pedal response.

i know, i love the factory brakes on my altima, i don't think i'd ever change them unless i got a really good deal on something else. they've seen me through a lot.
100 to 55 in less time it takes a cop to notice, people jumping in front of me, work great on the snow and ice... good times.
depends on whether its kept stock or whether your talking potential.
I'd think the 240 has more potential. Too bad it's not still in production... i'd like to see what it would look like since Nissan's been redesigning all across the yard.
