From a performance/ build up standpoint (including handling!) which do you guys think is a better platform. Looking at the options of building a highspeed cruiser with a midengine layout... cause, well I think they're hella sexy.

 

id say go with the mr2, its newer. which means it has more innovation and technology that went into its design

 

Which MR2?

 

depends on what mr2 hes talking about. get an mk1 mr2

 

88 gt fiero all the way they cam with the same suspension as the lotus's of the same year if you want big power you and drop in a 3800 H.O. engine out of a newer gtp grand-am or a 350 out of... every chevy ever made lol

 

well I was thinking about a newer model mr2 just because of the decent after market, although the older model would definately make a pimp og ride. Fieros on the other hand can squeeze an ls2 in the bay. I'm looking for something that's stable at high speeds though.

 

wow thats a tough one. im going to say go with the mr2. you probably could make more power by swapping engine with the fiero though.

 

okay now older school mr2 or the newer ones? I caould always swap in the newer mr2's motor into the older body style...

 

go with the newer mr2s (90-95). there's more of them around, easier to find misc parts, no need to swap engines. but if your budget only allows for the older ones, they are just as good. rust on the rear quarter panels pwns the older models.

 

yeah I've noticed the rust problem. maybe i'll just get a mustang :P
