240sx comparison to 300zx

well, i got my 240 and am quickly learning about it, but what i was wondering was how the 240sx compares to the 300zx... all i know is it seems to be a bit bigger and a lot faster. educate me please.

I used to have a 300zx. It was very fast in fact way faster than my 240, however the z was a pain in da a$$ to repair/work on. The big v6 (VG30DET) was so tucked in the engine bay it had tobe pulled out for certian repairs which made it costly. However i loved my Z and i still miss her.

I found that the 240 is actually easier to drift than the Z you have more controll which makes it a whole lot funner
