Jack, i totally understand what youre talking about.. but 240s are really good cars.. they just dont have the power... ive always thought about getting an 850, but first off, i really dont have the money, and also, they are front wheel drive.. i like the handling of rwd much better... but ive also been thinking about ways to get a little more horsepower out of my n/a b230.. the only thing ive really done to the engine is put on an electric fan.. its made a little bit of difference with throttle response, but its totalled my electrical system.. i wouldnt do it unless you get a bigger alternator... i only have a 150x2 watt amp, and with the fan, stereo, and lights, there isnt enough power.. if you are going to keep the 240, i would recommend going to turbobricks.com..they have tons of performance mods... but for me, i find handling much more important than going in a straight line.. if i want straight and fast, ill drive my olds.. but i hope you get something good if you dont keep the 240... catch you around sac sometime... at the track...haha...
