streight line speed shouldnt be enough to sell you on the car... make sure you drive both.

lol yupp, opinions are like @$$ holes, everyones got one. i remember watching C&D TV last month and they had Jay Leno test driving a WRX STi and an RX-8. he had nothing good to say about either car. lol, well no **** thats what you expect from an american muscle/classic car purist

alot of times toyota itself will issue a statement saying as to what class they design the car for and what cars it was most ment to compete against.

the only problem GReddy, is that the GT-4 isnt sold in the states lol

on the other hand, USDM MR2 Turbo.... 0-60 in 6.1 >> the JDM 94-99 MR2 GTS is MUCH faster. >>

ok i see what u guys r sayin about how the mkiii is outdated/tank etc. i guess they arnt that quick. besides a 6th gen gt, do any of u know a car i could get used for kinda cheap (under 7k) that is somewhat quick? i was thinkin integra but they seem to hold their value really well

ya, integra is a good choice, and you can find em at a good price because how abundant they are. also 240SXs are good cars.

Wait your an auto...he must have been auto too or couldnt really drive.

7 grand could get you a first gen turbo DSM with money to spare for some upgrades, be it sound system, rims, or performance. You could even sneek up to a second gen if you waited a little bit i bet. other than that, yout just have to be paitent, you are more than likely to be able to find an integra or prelude within that budget...

5sfe, I've taken on over 23 civics, and I've lost to one turbo'd. They're slower than our GTs, ok?

You're right, I should just take your word for it against my first hand expierence, thanks for a keychain.

the GT4s were not brought here b/c of an executive decision by toyota to not water it down and bring it over b/c of the lack of sales from the 5th gen all trac. im starting to compile a list of Toyota engineers/front office members who deserve to not wake up tomorrow morning because of stupid front office and engineering decisions. lol jp.

MR2 is a great car, but theres quite a bit of upkeep, and it isnt really a daily driver depending on what climate you live in.
