Thinking about it

I am thinking about buying a Mr2 2nd gen and I am wondering if this car as good performance potential

thanks

very good... but it depends on what you want to do with it.

well, I want to have fun working on it.
I want to have fun driving it and beat my own records on a circuit.

if it is stock, is it any fast ? Because I watch some videos on internet and it seemed slow to me...

what about the accel ?

It's pretty tough to tell how fast a car is just from watching videos on the internet...

Stock, a mk2 turbo car is decently fast. especially for someone that doesn't have too much driving experience in that platform of streetcar. the mk1 SC cars will probably FEEL faster than they are, but are still quite quick. and if you are looking for speed, the N/A cars probably won't give you what you are looking for.

well I want speed, but not too much I don't want to put 20k in it you know.

I want a good drift car, and also good on circuits. I want it fast, but not too fast because I want it street legal :p

but what n/a are good for ?

n/a are good for good gas mileage. if you want a drifter, go get a 240 or an rx7. the mr2 is not something that i would suggest for drifting... ever.

what about circuits ?

circuit/solo/hillclimb... i'm not sure you can find a better car for the money (on average) than a mk2 turbo mr2.

well thank you for your answers, I really apreciate your help.

another question I have is, what is different with the Mk2 and the normal turbo model?

biggest difference is a fuel efficient engine in the NA and a sporty engine in the turbo car. i think there might be something different with the brakes too, but i'm not sure.

and I guess the turbo is the fastest version ?

under stock conditions, or without engine swaps.

Well, I am planning to mod the car so...

which swap in which version of the car ? :p

just get a turbo and mod it, they go fast enough.

alright i'll go for the turbo, i'm done with my questions, thanks a lot for your help :)
