Coors Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Don't like MR2s? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCRO Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 MR2's are kinda rare. I would suggest the S2000 or Miata for a compact/sporty track/daily. Those two would be perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I like MR2s but I've only ever seen one for sale here. Nearly bought it but I didn't have enough money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 RSX Type S or Toyota Celica GTS (these might be just out of budget though), S2000s fall right in the same league as the latter two. MR2 is something I don't normally think to mention though it's kinda older now. (Though an MR setup would be pretty sweet) Honda Insight first gen (70MPG ftw lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekiM Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Thoughts/opinions? 0-60 in 2.XX seconds plzkthxbai. My opinion is you shouldn't get a motorcycle. At least not one anywhere near or over 600cc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfett Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) My opinion is you shouldn't get a motorcycle. At least not one anywhere near or over 600cc. While I wouldn't say don't get a motorcycle, I agree with ekiM. Have you ever ridden before? Edited March 28, 2012 by oldfett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCRO Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) My opinion is you shouldn't get a motorcycle. At least not one anywhere near or over 600cc. +1 Stick to four wheels because if you've never ridden a bike, you'd kill yourself or have a fall that'd put you in a wheelchair.. trust me I've seen it happen to friends. I say S2000 my last opinion. That car fits perfect in your category of a track/daily driver. Edited March 28, 2012 by MJCRO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) I've ridden before, but it's been a while. Used to ride my dad's bike in France, I forget what it was though. It's an older Yamaha, but it was pretty quick. Nowadays, I just ride around on a 150 cc scooter to get chores done. I love the scooter because it's really slow, but it feels like you're going so much faster, it's a lot of fun. How are the power gains on the S2000 once I start working on it? It's got a good amount of horsepower, but only 160-something torque and it's all the way up at 6800 rpm. I'm used to low-down torque. In the GTI, I've got peak torque from 1700 rpm all the way to like 4800. Edited March 28, 2012 by l33t p1mp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
