Thinking about getting an MR2 turbo Options

[Phat_99CeliGT]

Last night i drove a kids 91 Mr2 NA 5spd.
i loved it. for being an NA i was suprised at the power it had. I drove it for about 30 minutes around town. got on it in 2nd and 3rd and came back with a big smile on my face.
for being a big guy, i was REALLY suprised with the room it had in the cabin. i fit nice and comfortable in it.
I drove a Miata a lil while B4 that and my head stuck out over the windshield.
lol

Another friend of mine bought this Mr2 T a couple months ago.

Cardomain
he got it dynoed at about 250 to the rear wheels. the guy he bought it from took some of the aftermarket off the car when he sold it. i forget what.

im gonna try and see if the kid, yes i said kid(just turned 16), will trade me the 2 plus like $2k for my Celica. if not, then when i sell the Celica, im gonna try and find an Mr2 T for a good price. and if the price is right, ill buy an Mr2 na as a daily driver and leave the 2T for my beast car.
lol

just figured i would share

its actually kind of a myth that they are "easy to spin out"

they are very easy to get greedy in... especially the turbo model... the car just grips and grips and grips and you dont notice how close (and most times far away) you are to the threshold of your tires/suspension... alot of people just get complacent and over confident (AKA think they are a bad ass) and just push it over its limit. they ARE hard to figure out how to regain control if you have never driven a MR layout before... the snap oversteer is very interesting and can really scare the crap out of you when/if it happens for the first time. ive only spun once between the 2 MR2s i had... this was at a DRSCCA event at the silverdome last month, it happened on a quick switchback and the rear just BARELY peeked out... i tried to stay in the throttle, but i had to make it back around to setup for the slalom so i lifted the throttle a slight bit and it was enough to have the weight transfer slightly forward and the back end came around... thats racing... and i did end up second in class that day, so no complaints.
