I'm not sure what point you're trying to drive to, but having owned both cars, I have an entirely different view. I purchased my new 1998 240SX SE in August of '98.($24k) I drove it for 11 years then sold it.

Minus the power, there was not a better car in its class. It was lowered 2", had an Enjen intake, front STB, custom catback exhaust, Hawk brake pads along with Brembo cross drilled rotors, steel braided lines, a Centerforce stg II clutch and Z32 hard bearing tie rods . On top of that it had a functional rear seat and I was able to get around in the snow on all season tires. I've no recollection of a "rattlebox."

I can only hope my FRS lives up to this.

LL-FRS!
