turbo mr2 sw20

[LEV_101]

can someone give me ideas if this is a good car to drive ? and safe ?

i heard from my friend that its a really danageous car to drive.

i want to know is because i will be buying a car soon and i have decided on mr2 as one of them.

cheers

Not at all dangerous, just not particularly forgiving to bad drivers. Once you get the hang of driving them, they're very rewarding and can corner very very well.
Just dont ever use cheap tyres, and make sure the suspension isnt rooted.

And be super, super careful in the wet.. they spin veeeery easily!

[LEV_101]

yea ... he showed me this clip

and then i kinda got scared that he told me that its really dangerous ...

do you guys know how much is an average mr2 turbo 92 - 96 ?

cheers

[eritate]

ive got one

Suspension plays a huge part

Being sensible also

Tyres are a must but if you have bad tyres then compensate

It looses traction very easy in the wet

All in all a very quick and fun car to drive

But i warn you. once you get used to driving MR then it is the best

Rubbish, you just start to believe you're in a supercar because the engine is in the wrong place

I reckon! MR2 = teh sux0r

[eritate]

LOL

im not saying mr2s are supercars

but look at all the supercars - lambos, mclarens, ferraris, porchses. engine is mr

[CozmoNz]

Porsche is RR

Still, fun cars.

i had one ( gen 2 GTS)

high speed cornering (140+ km/h sweepers) theres little that will touch them.

low speed corners theyre pretty average.

they don't spin THAT easily, i only spun mine once and got it straight again without too much drama. thats once in 3 months of driving it hanging the arse out on every corner in the wet

good cars, i liked mine but got bored of it pretty quickly, and the whole "you're going out in a group of 4 mates and need to take 2 cars" thing gets annoying very quickly

[Lloyd]

Porsche is RR

He said supercars though

[CozmoNz]

Im sorry, but a 911 is far more a supercar in comparasion to the mighty ke20 .

*runs around with hands on ears*

NUR NUR NUR DONT WANNA HEAR IT

[Lloyd]

No, 911 is a road car. The Carrera GT (which most would call the Porsche supercar) is mid engined

Many would classify the 959 as a supercar. Its rear mount.

and adamal saves the day! (cheques in the mail) ^_^

[Lloyd]

Haha, I just flicked back to this. The 959 is my desktop picture already but I'm sure most people here would say the GT. Personally I'd prefer a 959 any day.

[Adamal]

Oh yea, the GT is definatly much closer to the description of supercar. I think that the 959 just makes it into the supercar catagory.

Saying that, they've always been one of my dream cars too

that guy doing the skids is a tard.

depends, do you want a 92 mr2 or a 96 mr2, all in different price ranges in those few years.
Not dangerous cars, just have a strong personality

my old aw11 span out waaaaaaaaaay more than my sw20 ever did
