He told me he only has around 5k in the whole car. Im running 12s in my ls1 i bet hes in low 13s. Id like to have something like that for the winter months. Thats all haha.

DO NOT BUY A MR2 FOR A DD!!!

Take it from someone who has owned 4 so far. They do not move in the winter time, theres not much room inside of them,it definately would not fit fshocars inside of it if he went to pick chad up for a date, or weekly facial whatever those faggots are up to now. Parts are scarce… and 5k unfortunately is not enough for a mr2 turbo now a days :(… might want to go a different route.

just dont buy an mr2 period.

correction putting 5k into a 3sgte powered mr2 would be a decently fast vehicle.

> what are you talking about? this dude could buy an 8v volkswagen for $500 and run circles around a solara… a solara is one of the dumbest suggestions ever… did you read this dudes mind and know that he’s a closet homo or are you just working from personal experience?

> buy a 16v volkswagen beater… an old audi turbo, a \*\*\*\*ty honda, an old mazda but why waste time on a piece of \*\*\*\* homo solara??? do those even come with real transmissions? my top notch cabriolet set me back $400… my other cars are just daily drivers. go \*\*\*\* yourself

Yes solaras come in v6 5 speeds like I said before, go through reviews toyota trannys atleast the ones on the v6’s(e153) are by far some of the best fwd transmissions.

there not bad cars for what it is worth, if he was looking for something to drive thats fwd and dd thats reliable for around 5k a solara is perfect. You can get a 99-01 for about 5k for a v6 5 speed.
