aw11

i think im going to hold off on the frs until there is a used market for it. i have found a nice hardtop n/a and a nice ttop supercharged. anybody have experience with either and any advice? i know the s/c has more power but it really does come at the cost of much more weight and a longer tranny. not sure its too much sportier and will just cost more in mpgs...

I don't know much about MR2's, but why the Mk1 over the Mk2? I was looking at MR2's as a possible project and was wondering if there was something that draws people to either one.

Is it just price? Or is it further than that?

Opinion only, but having experience with ancient Toyota removable roof (Mk3 Supra Targa) I would stay away from the T-roof. Leaks and flexiness in the Supra. Probably worse leaks in the 2, and not quite as shitty flexiness.

the sw20 doesnt really appeal to me at all. i think its the fanboyism (its not that i care what other people think but when it comes with a price...) that surrounds them combined with the fact that they are heavy. i really like the 4ag and think the sc is cool enough just to keep clean stock but an na would be a nice place to dump a 20v. i think id rather have a spyder but when i get out of school i would like to have my next sports car to track often but i dont like having to go through all the work to make a convertible track ready

Never realized how expensive the aw11 and sw20 mr2's still are. Both are still attractive cars to consider
