He also has the equivalent of 4.10 gears in the diff. It really plants you
in the seat and takes off like a bat outta hell. Not defending it, but it's
one of the few ricers that I actually respect.

That is not a problem. Just add turbo to your Dakota and see what happens
again. But stock version of both, the Dakota has it beaten.

Don't knock them at all...they're quick little Nissans and can be easily
modified to have more than 300HP. A friend of mine in CA has a '92 240SX
with an aftermarket turbo making close to 280HP.

Well, I went to Wal-mart to pick up a poster board so i can put my project
on
it, and on the way home, there's this Nissan 240sx FLYING by me probably
doing 80 in a 45. (i was good, only went 45)

Anyways, we get a red light and i have my windows slightly down and I try
to
hear if he wants to go at it. so i just accelerate off the line regularly
(2500 RPM shift) and i didn't hear his engine kick in for about a second,
then I heard a low K&N air sucking sound 4 cylinders make and i finally gun
it and I downshift back to 1st.

Anyways. i should have just gunned it from the light because I lost pretty
bad. IT was a 240sx and he was power shifting pretty bad... i didn't even
hear him let off the gas to shift. I guess he just pressed in the gas and
dumped the clutch. On the side of the window. I saw a sticker that said
"jackson superchargers" then a couple other stickers.

anyways. got up to about 45 for me and he just started gaining more and
more.
 I don't think i would have been able to beat him even if I did kill him off
the line. how fast are the 240SXs? i know for sure this one had some mods,
because a stock engine doesn't sound like that!
