Toyspeed

Pretty similar cars, visually and speed wise. Mainly the turbo models.

Both have the tagra tops and come in that bright red.. colour

So what would you take? (both manual and stock)

The mr2 2 litre turbo (240HP, 1250kg) or the big 300zx v6 TT (300hp, 1550kg)

Their performance is very similar mr2 has a wieght KG to Power Kw ratio of around 6.9kg/per kw,

the 300zx is around 6.9kg/per kw so they are matched for power on the ground!

Only difference is ones mid engined and the others front. Plus the z is like a boat.. to some people

Id prob take the MR2 , always go for the toyotas!!

I'd take the Z.. Aslong as it had suspension mods done.

MR2. Faster for less dollars. I'm assuming by 1993 model you mean the 10.93 and newer which is 241hp. 0-100 under 6 seconds. 1/4 mile mid to high 13s out of the box.

yep that mr2 model. not the 225hp one..

hmmm tough choice. I would go for the 300zx though.

Get the ZX if you want a big car with no space, or the 2 if you want a smaller car with no space....Both of them have about the same potential, both of them are a pain in the ass to work on

And are you going to poll every car known to man before you buy one??

Yes, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Get an S14 Silvia.

An MR2 for sure, Z's are an understeering pig of a thing. Plus if you think MR2's are hard to work on, look under the bonnet of a Z

lol. na i just like to see what people think of other cars.. here on toyspeed

Isnt the mr2 alot lighter than the z??

an would putting the z up next to a gto be a better comparision??

GTO are bester.

HAHAHAHHAHHA @ pretty similar cars.

Ones a cruiser, the other is a cruiser thats made to go quick .

MR2 turbo for sure, alot more room than you think, (and a 300zx can only take 2 people comfortably anyway).

and Mr2 would whop on the 300... big whales off the mark, just.. ug.. no... and the mr2 can corner!

I agree with cozmo!!

I also agree with CozmoNz, the Z is alot more of a cruiser than the MR2 and is rather small inside.. the rear 2 seats are a joke! Plus due to the weight the mr2 would corner slightly better..

GTO lol there the most hideous cars ive ever seen! Just a typical big dumb mistubishi.. that breaks.. They have Gay writen all over them.

I think a better comparison for the Z would be the Supra TT, but it never crossed my mind when i made this poll.

I would take the turbo mr2

I would definately go the 2 seater Z. You can get a lot of extra power out of a zed just by changing the ECU.

Go drive an sw20 93+, then go drive a 300zx.... slightly dosnt describe it

Any car enthusiast would cringe at the thought of a Z. The old ones were pretty cool, but the 300ZX is a big fat whale, you'd might as well get a Commodore or something, atleast then you can have passengers.

Also I think the 300ZX and GTO are a great comparison, both big heavy 3L V6 Twin Turbo POS.
