Re: Most underrated car(s)?

i really really hate these cars, but v6 probe/mx6's. i've seen these cars throw down some serious numbers. also (i can't believe i'm saying this) 24v contours and SHO taurus'. seen good runs by both.

My friend had an MX-6, and it was slow as hell, I smoked it in my V6 Camaro.

3000GT VR4, buick gnx are under rated?? I don't think so...

I'll agree with the turbo 4-cyl chryslers, and the mrk1 mr2.

I'll add the RA20-RA65 celica, RWD compact, good low end with the bulletproof 20R/22R/22R-E engine, proceeded the nissan 200sx/240sx by over 10 years...

i think that the sprite r/t and the early 90's eclipise's (awd, turbo only) are some pretty underrated cars


also any rotory car is underrated i think as well.

Re: Most underrated car(s)?

Two cars that come to mind are the omni GLHS and the chevy caprice 9C1. 9C1s could be had with LT1s and an even better suspension than the impala SS.

Re: Most underrated car(s)?

hmmm, toyota yaris t-sport.
it's only got a little 1.5 litre engine.
it isn't that fast.
BUT
it's cheap
it's cheap to insure
parts are cheap
and you can use every last ounce of power from it.
it won't beat many cars off the line (0-60 in 9secs if you're lucky)
but on the move, it'll take a brave driver to get the best of you.

Re: Most underrated car(s)?

Underrated: Miatas, first gen probe/mx-6 turbo gt, Protege ES (put some racing beat sway bars, springs and tires and you'll be able to keep up with vipers on on-ramps) Third gen rx-7s (the most versaitle car out there)
