I second that. This is good reading for the noob that I am.
I'm still researching and reading about which bodystyle I want to dive into. I've been told that the 240 has a 'weaker' frame for those who want a powerful engine. At this point, I'm not sure which S30 I want to go with, but it sounds like I might lean towards a 280. However, I'm also following another member on here who's inspired me to look into the 240 frame.
