If you can find a turbo MR2 that cheap - go for it !

A very rare and very desirable sports car.

An MR-2 turbo is a deathtrap for inexperienced drivers. With the suspension geometry and everything they'll spin around before you even blink. I would have to suggest the supra.
Mr b00st
Dakian- the earlier MR2 Turbos are known for their "snap oversteer" characteristics, but I believe model year 92 introduced revised suspension geometry which all but eliminated this trait (except on wet pavement, of course...)

They didnt elminate it completely. They helped but they're still dangerous for someone who isnt used to the back end snapping around.

wow, i like it here, quick replys biggrin.gif
Mr b00st
i'm not so sure you can get a Supra Turbo worth owning for under 7 grand...

5.0 no explanation needed.

Corrado!!!! An absolutely stunning car to look at, and with that 190 Hp 2.9 liter VR6, they're damn fast too...mmm and that VR6 exhaust sound *drool* thumbs_up.gif biggrin.gif

Also, according to Top Gear, soon to be a collector's item wink.gif

i would have to say the MR2, cause they are such good cars. I especailly like the older ones

I'm confused by the appearence of the Eagle Talon on the list. It doesn't seem to fit in with the other cars.

MR2 Turbo!!! Very quick mod friendly cars!!! thumbs_up.gif


(Of course a 5.0 would be a lot faster), but I think the MR2 is a better "all around" car.


cool.gif
nocondorfx
a talon is up there becuase it is a very easily modded car that is cheap


i prefer the corrado and toyotas over it of course, but i just want to hear stuff from people who have used or know about all of them

eagle talon TSi=Eclipse GSX

eclipse GSX= 2.0L turbo 4G63 and AWD= 0-60 6.4s.


That's why it's up there.

Corrado with the VR6. Don't get a G60 because they tent too have problems and the VR6 is faster... smile.gif

the G60 is horribly unreliable. Anyone who buys a G60 Corrado=t3h fail IMO.

I agree with you; a VR6 Corrado would be rawesome.
White RSX
i should start one of these.

i said supra, cause i like them.

but clark, i heart.gif corrados
A32
I would go for the supra. thumbs_up.gif
It is before the remodeling that was done in 1993.5 therefore the price is a bit cheaper than the newer 1993.5+ mkiv. Toyotas are very reliable cars too.
Mr b00st
oh... but then again, MKIII supras suck ass. Get an MR2 Turbo; it's faster and better looking. And it has teh engine in the right place.

...like I said, no supra under 7k is a supra worth owning.
White RSX
you still bother me.

5.0

5-speed 5.0's are really fun to drive... i've had 2 5-speeds and an auto, and they're soooo much fun.
fallon
either the supra, 5.0(i like the latest fox bodies, 93 was the last year of them i believe) or corrado, if you can actually find a nice supra for 7k go for it, otherwise pick from the latter two
E'ron
5.0 is the way to go! tongue_orig.gif
