Engine in the wrong spot? I suppose that's why some of the top supercars are MR

mind you, the only car in that list that handles like a bag of dicks is the MR2. Mostly thanks to its transversely mounted engine, which is exactly what happens when you drive a civic really fast in reverse while facing the wrong way.

Lol, I love the amount of shit given to MR2s, but how many of you guys have actually been in one?

It handles beautifully. Never understeers. Never oversteers. Ever. Drop the clutch in the wet, sticks like shit to a blanket.

Can't say the same about the GTS(T)'s I've driven. No point arguing it here though, everyone is too closed minded.

my brother and i test drove a few when he was looking at them

noisey, sketchy in wet, understeered.... he ended up buying a v35 instead, wise move

turning onto sharpes rd in tullamarine once we saw a mr2 that lost it around the bend there, only car that i know of to ever lose it there

i would rather a gtst the weight is on the front for turning with the engine, and the rear wheels will have traction depending how heavy ur foot is

[krzysiu]

Jeremy I can guarantee you have never driven your car hard enough to oversteer/understeer lol

A lambo and a Ferrari will understeer and oversteer. I don't think Toyota put more r&d into a little supercar mockup 15 years ago then lambo and Ferrari do right now

fuck off. I've owned 2 MR2's. the first was a supercharged AW11 while you were still suckin on your momma's teat and then when the 15 year rule kicked in back in 2005(?) I bought an SW20 GTS. SW20 handled like a bag of dicks, even with all the TRD suspension on it, and I actually preferred the AW11 compared to that cramped up excuse for a shopping trolley.

Toyota totally bitched out with the second gen MR2. First gen was half decent, simple suspension layout, simple engine layout, no spooling of turbos or any predictability issues due to non linear power delivery, was awesome to drive on the limit and through the twisties. Compared to that the SW20 was just made for fat fucker white guys in the UK and US who couldn't afford a 911.

dude if you got 40k get a sweet ass daily and a sweet as weekender i mean you could split 50/50 and get 33gtr and like i dunno a bommodore, or vw polo (see homo spec) heaps of otpions. i'd be gettign something with towing capability myself.

thats what i'd be doing i dont see imports as dailys anymore its just not worht it.

edit: should have read ssxrichos post first lol. Spot on though.

well i forgot to add one thing i have no room for 2 cars at the moment lol. the first thing that came to my mind was 2 cars but i really cant do it yet. And id never own a VW i dont like any of them at all.
