Anyone have any insight on what is the best as far as what is considered the truest of a sports car? I know one of these threads of mine are floating around here somewhere, and I do not mean to post whore, however, I wanted to know if anyone had any experience with any or all three, to see which is the best as far as performance goes. I am starting to feel as if they are each individually special, pending on their usage, and the Toyotas MR vehicle, has never been a car to truly let anyone down or with a frown. Sure there are their favorites, as most guys who are into driving straight will prefer the earliest model due to cost and weight. The mid model do to looks and speed. Possibly the latest model for handling and weight (then I am starting to consider technology now, however looking back on other cars... Say like the RX7.. Totally out classes the newer RX8).
I keep going back and fourth with this because I do need and want another car while i fix this one up and once complete, thinking about the future if I want to dump any more money into this car once the conversion is complete. There is a good chance I could get an MR-S within budget, and I know nobody around where I live fixes those up.

I noticed the 1ZZ was pretty weak...140 HP didn't do much for me.

QUOTE (SwissFerdi @ Nov 24, 2009 - 8:53 AM)  I noticed the 1ZZ was pretty weak...140 HP didn't do much for me. True, but I hear you do a 2zz swap and that it is a beast. So far, I have heard no complaints with that swap, and of course with a turbo charge. QUOTE (turboinduction @ Nov 24, 2009 - 7:07 AM) I've owned all three. MK1 - get it for legacy purposes only. I still love this car MK2 - get for speed and exotic nature. The SW20's 3SGTE is very strong MK3 - get for handling. Note on the MK3. The 1ZZ sucks. However, the 2ZZ (think Lotus, Celica GTS, XRS models, etc) drops right in no problem. A gentleman by the name of Littlerocket makes a shifter adapter for the transmission. You can find him on www.spyderchat.com. If I were to stick with one of these guys, I'd take the spyder. Hey thanks for that. Because if I could get a Spyder for my budget, I am really considering doing that 2zz swap. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204
