mk2 mr2 turbo what is it?

Post by Sanchi »

Before anyone states the obivous and says "a car" i know LOL

Just wondering is it like a circuit car, a drag car, or what ? i know its not a drift car lol...

Although i have this download of one of the japanese drift kings drifting it and even he spun it twice lol... But thats a good download called the drift bible, big file but worth it if you want to learn how to drift!

But would someone like to enlighten me lol... As some people i talk to always seem to have more negative things to say about :roll: lol

Thanks..

I would say the MK2 turbo is a drag/circuit car.

hmmm... i was under the impression it was a drag /circuit car as well... just people say things like its an old car now and isnt much competition to the newer cars handling wise...

personally i think they handle well in the dry...

I have seen the MR2 being used as a drift car but it's not easy so I understand, people tend to go for the Nissan 200SX S13 instead.

I would say that the Mk2 is just a sports car...or more particularly a sports grand tourer (considering the storage, comfort, and weight).

AE86 Trueno, is what you're thinking of..

I'd say the Mk2 MR2 is what it is - a Grand Tourer from the 1990's ;)

I can confirm from experience that the MR2 is a great car for touring track and drag. May not be the best in any of those fields, but I wouldn't swap mine... well, not unless it was for one with an engine :lol:
