Okay, you may or may not remember my car. 89 LX convertable vortech, ported heads, trick flow manifold, cam, built AOD, etc. Im going to miss the car, but i sold it to a true car guy, one who is going to fix the body, the interior, make more power, all the stuff my budget wouldn't allow. Well i replaced the car with a new car already. a 93 MR2 turbo, this car is red with black leather. For anybody that doesn't know the car it's a two seater turbo mid engine car. it makes 200 horsepower and only weighs 2700 pounds. Having had the Mr. 2 for about 2 weeks, i must admit that this is a different kind of fun, it's not a torque monster, it's all high end. But don't get me wrong, this thing brakes better then any mustang ever built (107 ft. 60-0, stock) It handles awesome (I have read articles of .94, i would guess at around .90~.91) it's really slow out of first gear, in second with a whimpy chirp it takes off and keeps climbing. It's a highway car, not a off the line car. Well im open to your thoughts and your critism (for deserting the mighty mustangs) What do you think?
