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.
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
