Re: Thinking about it

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.

Re: Thinking about it

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

but what n/a are good for ?

Re: Thinking about it

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.

Re: Thinking about it

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

Re: Thinking about it

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.
