mr2 vs. ae86....which is better?

[alpine_aw11]

So I just got a first gen. mr2 a couple weeks ago. I was looking into an ae86, but after doing some research I decided an mr2 was a better choice. Cheaper, even in good condition, much better suspension setup, and just way fuckin cooler/more fun to drive. So my friend and I got into an argument, he thinks the ae86 is an all around better car. IMO you would have to be a drifter fag to say an ae86 is better than an mr2 stock for stock in any way. I think the ae86 is a bit lighter but that's it. I'm just curious to know what everyone else thinks.

weeeeelllll, ive never driven or sat in an AW11 so i cant really argue, but being an AE86 owner myself i will say they are better lol...and i see Lexi is in here also and he'll back me up...but if you let me drive it i can tell you whats better.

although i own an Ae86, and have never drivin an Aw11, im going to have to agree with you. the corolla is nothing special while its stock. you can make them great cars. the MR2 is set up to be a handling car. mid engine, rwd, peppy 4cyl motor, all-be-it the same as in the corolla. dont get me wrong, i love my Ae86, and i think it looks 10 times better than the Aw11, and i hate you, but you are correct

lolololol pwnt

[Me86Rob]

alpine, maybe you could specify that you mean 1st gen MR2?
the second gen is garbage

You hates me? Fuck you.

But anyway, I don't really understand why the aw11 doesn't get more credit. Toyota fucked the mr2 over. They built a better car, but because the ae86 was destined to be the "flagship" car it got all of the factory support with racing and popular exposure. Anyone I've asked who has had both says the mr2 is way better. My friend is the only one so far who disagrees, but he also thinks Nissan still makes 300zx's so I guess his opinion isn't real.

And yea I'm talking 1st gen. I don't know shit about the second gen.

lol i dont hate you ass wipe. but when you were alpinexj, you were mean to me
but yea i totally agree. dont get me wrong thogh, the hachi is a great car

lolol I know I know. I like the ae86, but I wanted something really different for my first import. I saw the aw11 and I just had to do it. With the straight out of 89 suspension it handles like it's on rails, I can't wait to actually start modding this beast.

[scabtastic]

alpine, are you going to paint it flat green? lol

[Elbow]

MR2

[alpine_aw11]

alpine, are you going to paint it flat green? lol

oh shit that was you that I asked about that haha. No, that was the plan for my Cherokee but that's gone now. The mr2 is going to get murdered out pretty much.

[scabtastic]

yeah it was me homie, it needs to be green

[Me86Rob]

dont murder it man. a nice sliver, or red will do. and 20V swap....DOOOOOO IT. omg that would be wicked

[alpine_aw11]

Nope. It's already black, I'm not doing the engine bay and all that shit. I found some rims that will look good. It's not going to be like douchebag Famous t-shirt havin ass murdered out, it's going to be clean. And the blacktop is going in over the summer.

nails r piercing (11:11:03 PM): that was another car ive wanted...aw11

that would be the IM that i just got from scabbtastic lol

[scabtastic]

i told you to keep quiet man

[alpine_aw11]

Seriously, this thing is so amazingly fun. I never thought I would be able to live without a radio, but I don't even care that I don't have one right now. Driving this car is just the shit. I really want to do the blacktop swap, but it's also tempting to find a SC for my motor and get it at around 180-200 hp and ride out. Probably be about the same cost either way.

MR2 FTW.

[Me86Rob]

just get a GZE man

[alpine_aw11]

MR2 might better than 86 because not ALL can drive an 86

stfu batman. its not a hard car to drive

[imbatman]

its funny how u think so shallow........really shallow

[Me86Rob]

its funny how u think so shallow........really shallow

its funny how you dont know what you are talking about. first off......when you are just DDing it, its nothing. second of all, yea they are dificult to learn to drift in...because they have no power. i own 2 batman. ive owned one since i was 14. b4 drifting was big. before inital D ruined them. so you cant possibly tell me that im shallow, when im fairly positive i got my first one long b4 you did. and unlike you, i got mine for what it was, not because i saw some initial D douchebag cartoon

[ttman]

mr2 + 3s-gte FTW

Terrible point. Most couldn't drive an mr2 for shit. Some just can't drive an ae86 because the stock suspension geometry is pretty terrible, plus solid rear axles? lol wtf

As I said in my first post, if anyone has some knowledge to prove that an ae86 is a better car then I'm open to hear it. If all you can say is "drifting" then gtfo because that shit's wizzeak.

[FasTech]

I stand behind my statement.

[alpine_aw11]

I stand behind my statement.

why?

[FasTech]

why?

I personally like them better. Regaurdless to being actually better in performance. But its funny seeing everyone getting so serious of this...lol

[jdmjohn]
