pulse brakes sharply if you're too fast on a curve. Induce oversteer. Hope like hell that you can channel Walter Rohl for a few seconds

That's true. First car I drove in snow was my old Explorer 5.0 - 220 hp, AWD, and still broke tires loose under hard acceleration in snow (I had proper snow tires too). first snowfall, went drifting, learned the limits of the beast in the snow. Probably the best thing you can do when you get a new car, IMO.

I am impressed by this fact

It just struck me... If I'm not mistaken, BRZ is"fast" in Serbo-Croatian (not sure on the spelling though)...

its lighter than the SW20 MR2 as well - Dare I say it? I think toyota's had an attack of common sense!!!

They haven't said so yet, but two things make me think they will

Turbocharged 4A-GE blacktop would like to have a word with you ;)

Fellow AW11 owner here. 100% agreed, way more fun to weave in the twistys than to just hammer it in a straight line.

my mr2 makes maybe 90 lb-ft on a good day. It's still a blast to drive, at 2200lbs. Granted, I am looking into a turbo for it, but it doesn't change the fact that I love the car as-is. and Im sure TRD will offer a turbo package for this car.

250 hp in 2600lb car is pretty damn good. Better than the MR2 Turbo, in fact, and that car is a blast to drive. and I'm sure that with the whole TRD package (cams, injectors, ecu flash, turbo, FMIC), this thing will break 330 at the wheels

Ignoring the fact that a 2600lb car with a rev-happy 200hp motor isn't supposed to be a stop-light monster, there is a solution for people who feel the same way as you

How so? 2600lbs and 200hp is pretty damn good. it might not be a torque monster, but it'll still get up and go, and it will corner like a dream. This was engineered to compete with Miatas and Gen Coupes. I think they actually hit the mark perfectly on this one (or missed it completely, if you think they were aiming…

I dunno about better than the 2JZ, but it's certainly a solid engine. Maybe even worth calling the new "3VZ"

2GR is a pretty damn good engine already. Swapped into an MR2, it'll wreck most cars under 100k. The supercharged version is even better, and while a GS is somewhat heavier than an MR2, I'm certain it still gets up and goes pretty well. This package just means that it can now corner and brake just as nicely.

Camry. More specifically, any of the rare 3vz-powered, 5-speed equipped Camrys. 0-60 in 6.5 seconds if you row the gears right, and will chirp the tires at 120 km/h. Rated at 185 bhp, but will crack 200 with 5 minutes of your time and a screwdriver (adjusting afm). 240 with a replacement y-pipe, and DIY port/polish.

SMARTUKI!!!!

Fuck yeah sith!!! >:D

Seems like someone's gonna have a shitty drive to work

Jerk.

Looks like an MR2...
