well the geo metro has ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm what does it have over the mclaren? ooooo i know~ you can buy around 200 of them for the price of one. now all you gotta do is put them all together and make one giant geo planet and it will crush the mc laren. that the only way i think of it.

could it be that the metro has much better road handling - i mean the mclaren might have it on all out lateral g's but the metro has a much more liberal and direct road feeling

im thinkin that if we lowered the rear diff. gearing we might be able to get the metro to take the f1 to school in the quarter - what do you guys think?

anyone tryed a conversion like this b4?

im really suprised its not much more popular!

well, im preety sure the geo could be lighter, maybe take out some screws and stuff, it should be a light car- an inline 3 right?

yes - seems very logical

which brings me to my next point

Most people look at the well-formulated Geo Inline 3 and see it as a High Rev Engine - And while it does have awesome hp numbers at these higher revs it has very nice low range torque for its modest displacement. This helps off the line greatly as well as to take advantage of the short-throw close-ratio 5 speed transmission that is above average even in this class of exotic's.

hrmm
im not sure if this would be for the best

could it be that this might offset the balance of the metro.

I mean the car has been precisely tuned straight out of the factory, i dont know if it will take to being gutted really well since it has been made as a factory built race car

what do you think?
