I can only imagine the kind of car the W30 would've been with a GZE configuration on that suspension/chassis. Would've been sick.

If I had the spare money I'd street tune one up for SCCA in a heartbeat.

thats one thing i was thinking also, its not like they didnt have a 2ZZGE w/ a super charge, the corolla sport is sporting a 2ZZGE compressor supercharge.

the owner had the right state of mind putting rally rims on that sucker.

That bodystyle screams Rally.

that looks pretty good.

isn't that spy shot severely old? Like possibly the spy shot of what was to become the 2000 MR-S?

LOL, at the magazine editors

I remember a shot of a camo'd MR-S on the ring, sporting a fatter rump with massively increased rear-track from some years ago.

MtnDrvr86 · 11-30-2009, 12:14 AM

they may be refering back to the mrs in the article...or possibly using it as camo for a rediculously early revivial project

if they were to come back out with an mr2 I think it needs to use some of the styling from this ft86 concept, could look pretty sweet. possibly even using the same engine options to keep the center of gavity low

Looks interesting...

It'll be my kids problem, not mine :P

I would personally like to see more Diesel performance oriented engines instead of electric vehicles.
