YACT: Help me pick.... two sportscars...

[flot]

As much as your Z related posts drive me up the wall, I will point out that the Z is a far far superior car to either of those...

Why dont you just buy from Ebay?

Yes I highly recomend you get a Farrari 348 instead.

anyone with that much camber should be shot

Probably just did that to get the enormous wheels inside the fender.. 240sx people do that too. It looks like shi!.

It handles even worse.

My guess is that its a drifting car.

If the MR2 is in good condition, it might be a good buy. The 93 should have the newer suspension, giving you more predictable handling (great for those not used to mid engined vehicles). They changed the rear trailing arms, the bushings, and the factory toe settings. The 91-92's had a nasty habit of toe'ing out the rear wheels when you hit a bump midturn. Unless you're really driving at 10/10ths, it wasn't dangerous, but it does cause you to pucker up. Do it in the rain or in a high speed off-banked turn and you may have to double-check your shorts though. They're fun cars though. It's difficult to find something more rewarding (and teaching) than a normally aspirated mid engined rear drive car. The weight distribution on MR2's is ideal for performance, which is to say 42% front, 58% rear, not ideal for marketing (50%/50%).

Here's a pict of my 91 mr2 turbo:

Alas, I'm going to have to sell it now that we have a baby. Thankfully, I didn't sink THAT much money on mods.

I've seen the Nissan Sentra SE-R at Infineon Raceway for the Speedvision challenge thing, and they seemed to have that much negative camber on them. I don't think the Realtime Acuras had as much negative camber as the Sentras did. Their wheels weren't nearly that big.

Alright,
since i cant find a TT z around i found some other decent cars:

'89 Porsche 944

or

'93 toyota mr2 with only 62k miles (!)


the problem is now which one to pick?

What do you do for a living?

I would go with the MR-2 because of its lower maintenance costs. Also there is a lot of aftermarket support for this car.

But if you can find a 944 turbo....
