I went to test driving one today and it out handled my rx so dam much! I'm thinking of getting it, its a 91' NA for $3400$. it's got 225k miles on it though.

We got an 86 MR2 with crapyp dunlop A60 tires or whatever it can corner pretty damn good... but it is a non turbo version and really has no power..... it cant even smoke them or spin them even unless it is in water and it is a 5 spd! with a brand new motor brand new clutch brand new brakes exhaust and everything.......



But it can corner like a ****!

You could go the way of an old Pontiac Fiero. They are similar in design to the MR-2 and a lot cheaper. They even sale complete V8 conversions for those suckers. Damn a Fiero with a V8 would be something else.

I moved very recently and my old neihbor ( <--bad spelling) had like three fiero's and his dam fiero buddys would come over. The whole steet covered in fiero's :madgo: . That's a good idea to get a fiero, but i'm heard they have bad fuel line or some **** like that and they catch on fire!! :wow: (just what i heard) and I'm not the american sports car man :tounge: .............. but now you got me thinking.... :dontgetit:

you would be replacing the fuel lines anyway and probably even the fuel pump! No more concern there!

So they do catch on fire???



If so, or not I found a 85' w/the 2.8 V-6 , 4 speed, and 65k miles . Better than a 4 cylinder w/225k on it. Plus I could get a turbo kit....or just drop an V8 in it :sigh:
