how does the SL handle?

hey guys everyone raves about the handling on the VR4 but what about the FWD 3ks? also should i buy a low mile 97 SL or a high mile sketchy 91 stealth rt/tt?

Test drive em both and you can decide.

I havent gotten a chance to drive a VR4 very much (yet) but the SL was fun for me except around tight fast turns somtimes I would get wheel hop. It accelerates with better traction than my mom's sienna but then again the sienna tires are thin and it has a bit more power I think. They'll both hold a good edge around turns but the SL won't be able to accelerate out of the turn as fast.

You must have had an automatic Thorun? If the SL is an auto, then i'd go w/ the TT. I like the handling of my 94 SL around turns, i'd compare it to being as good as my 92 Integra was for tight turn handling. But i'd test drive both first, if the TT seems good, then i'd definitely go with it over the SL anyday.

I had a 5spd.

The SL handles quite well, theres minimal body roll and with the tires i have understeer reall isnt that bad.

My ES handles great.. ive drove many other cars an i like drivin mine the best. I think it even rides smoother that my moms 96 ls400 :)

handles fine, but awd id better

yeah it sure id.

:iamwithst: yes awd id better. but my 93 base 3000GT has upgraded sway bars and the difference is night and day from stock. handling is awesome now!

as igovert500 said, drive them yourself and you make the decision.
i think thourun is about right, going into corners at a faster speed it might get a little jumpy on you.
but at the same time, i've only driven 2 sl's and i didnt do too much cornering so


thourun tends to have an unbiased opinion, which is a good thing, so take into consideration of what was said, go drive them yourself and then make your decision

i can tell you its a smooth ride :)

Also remember that every car is differnt since the parts wear differently because of the different lives the car's have lead. Go drive them and you'll get a better understanding than anyone here could impart on you with words.
