    Fun Fact: the MR2 was never sold as the MR2 in France: MR2 or 'Emm Aire Deux", phonetically, sounds like Merde, the french word for Sh*t.
    Moog's MRPoo is, therefore, weirdly accurate.

It outmaneuveres Miatas all day long and because of the rev happy N/A 160 HP 1.8L, big 4-pot AP Racing brakes and low weight it'll give a GTI a run for its money on a twisty backroad.

      same deal in the UK mostly, rough ones still rarely show up for cheap (like 2k) but really you're looking at 5K(10k AU/ 6k US) for a decent one. and the w20s are now starting to be consistently as or more expensive than the w30s.

      Snap oversteer is just a word people use for the thing that happens when drivers who aren't used to mid-engined cars try to drive them like the usual RWD car. It'd happen on pretty much any mid-engine car but the reason you only hear about it whenever someone mentions the MR2 is because it's just about the most accessible one

If you research this you will find out that the MR2 Turbo GTS was actually faster in a 1/4 mile than the Supra... the flagship sports car for Toyota... and the Supra was destroying Ferrari's of the day.

      @@Dsilver024 false, they haven't. It's all you idiots that have never owned or raced them that say this. Snap would indicate that it happens without warning and this is just not true. The engine is in the middle/back meaning that the car in most situations handles much much better than a front engine car giving the false sense of security so granted the window between feeling the rear go and having time to correct is shorter it's not as bad as instantly snapping. Most people out on their brakes as the response this unbalances the car. Anyways I wish internet warriors like you wouldn't feed false info... But in all honesty if you do then it keeps the cost of spare parts down for me.
