The 350Z has weakness in its chassis so it isn't all that good.
Probably more aftermarket support for it though, I have heard there was a turbo kit in the works for the Rx8 at http://www.rx8club.com but no news of that just yet.

Oh and BTW, that Scion is a pretty funny car, there are people who has made em tank like, in the US there are meetings for Scion owners so you may grab some modding parts, both visually and engine wise if you go to a such meeting.
Even if you don't buy any, you will see a lot of funny Scions.

Id take the Z over the RX8 personally.

Why, exactly? It's pretty much a bunch of Benz parts under some new skin, I can't see how that's a problem.

Yes, its a bunch of OLD Mercedes parts under a CRAP looking skin.

I've ridden in one, and its not even in the same league as the 350Z or RX-8.

Drewb99 · Post by **Drewb99** » 30 Sep 2004, 02:53

That's what the SRT-6 is for, and even if it's an old design they aren't literally pulling junkyard Merc engines up and plopping them in new cars.

Riding one isn't quite the same as driving one either, to the poster, tell your dad to test drive all the cars mensioned at their respective dealers and pick the one that suits him best. Heck, coming a few specific Firebirds any of those cars would actually be a downgrade, what kind of F-bird is it?

DrewBoi · Post by **DrewBoi** » 15 Oct 2004, 00:14

umm the f-bird is a v-6 automatic... and he has bottomed out so many times that the chassis is f****d up...

all Thunderbirds are automatic... that's the sucky thing.

Im turning 16 in like 10 months or somethin, do you guys think that a 1994 Toyota MR2 Turbo 2.0L is a good choice? ive been looking at this car for a while and love everything about it.

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 16 Oct 2004, 16:41

Being 16 and having a rear wheel drive turbocharged 2.0 doesn't sound good to me.

marshallpre1 · Post by **marshallpre1** » 16 Oct 2004, 18:29

ya i agree... if u want something sporty, try a celica, or an eclipse... but honestly, power and looks of a car doesnt mean better espsecially if you are young...

Post by **TheStig** » 16 Oct 2004, 20:05

Looks like every 16 YO kid who comes here wants a turbo charged sportscar... preferbly RWD... what are they thinkinh...

noting personal to anyone.. but if you fit the discription... first get some driving experience.... after that... think about something sporty

NismoSKYLIN3R34 · Post by **NismoSKYLIN3R34** » 16 Oct 2004, 21:07

ok ill drop the turbo lol

Post by **TheStig** » 16 Oct 2004, 22:48

It's nothing personal Nismo...

we are here to help... even if things sound hard...
not that we are some old socks... (grez and I...and some others) but we have a bit more experience and we made some stupid mistakes... and well... we hope we can prevent that it happens to ohters...

but he... a MR2 is a nice car no doubt

ViperJay · Post by **ViperJay** » 16 Oct 2004, 23:00

yeah, I always loved the MR-2, since I "virtually drived it" in Gran Turismo

ok, without jocking, it's a really nice car, looks very sporty altought if stock

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 17 Oct 2004, 00:35

Go for an NA MR2, revision 5 models were gorgeous. Avoid the turbo until youve got some experience.

NismoSKYLIN3R34 · Post by **NismoSKYLIN3R34** » 17 Oct 2004, 07:15

ok thanx guys ill take that advice. BTW thanx for lookin' out for me! I have a guestion.............say u have a car that is a turbo stock(MR2 Turbo, Supra Turbo, etc.) could u put a BOV on a car with a stock turbo, or do you have to upgrade to an aftermarket turbo before u do the BOV. thanx. this question has been bugging me for a while.

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 17 Oct 2004, 14:40

You can put a BOV straight on. My turbos are both still stock, and I have a HKS SSQV BOV on

thanks a lot Grez!

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 17 Oct 2004, 23:51

No problem

NismoSKYLIN3R34 · Post by **NismoSKYLIN3R34** » 21 Oct 2004, 03:15

Pszeta, marshell, stig..........im takin your advice and ive decided not go with the MR2.

MR2 Turbo 2.0L RWD=bad for a 16 yr old

anyway i ve decided to go with the 2004 celica. i hopfully would liek to put either a Veilside, or that APR widebody (yea right, lol) like that one in Stig's signature. o well the celicas a great lookin car

marshallpre1 · Post by **marshallpre1** » 21 Oct 2004, 04:44

04 celica is an awesome choice.... gt or gts... and manual or automatic?

NismoSKYLIN3R34 · Post by **NismoSKYLIN3R34** » 21 Oct 2004, 04:55

im still decideing what model. but i want a manual.

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 21 Oct 2004, 13:37

Good choice, 1.8, FWD, handles like its on rails

Plus, 190bhp is not too much, Ive read a few reviews in car magazines here of 17 year olds driving them.

NismoSKYLIN3R34 · Post by **NismoSKYLIN3R34** » 21 Oct 2004, 22:36

yea one of the main reasons i want it, is because its front wheel drive. and if it rains i wont be drifting on accident. one thing i dont like is that the rear brake is a drum

. i didnt plan on getting new brakes. I was jsut going to paint the stock calipers red. yea 190bhp isnt much .......but i can fix that lol jp.
