I watch these videos to feel good about my 1ZZ MR2 I bought this year for $6000 with 125k miles. All it needed was CV axles. Has new tires and brakes, kinda shitty sounding exhaust, cold air, HID conversion, and runs like a top. I've had some fast straight-line cars like a Charger R/T ride my ass trying to challenge me and I put 5 car lengths on the guy by swinging into a 60 degree corner in 3rd with no braking, accelerated out of the corner and the dude was gone. He passed me on the freeway going about 120MPH later on because he mad. It's just a cool quick car. Looking like I'll be driving on the dragon this fall with my buddies before my friend's wedding. Gonna be a tight one. GTI vs 350z vs MRS vs possibly a Cadillac.

Do these cars handle corners better than a ZL1 1LE? Is your engine and transmission stock basically? Do they have oil pan baffling or something to prevent oil starvation from the Gs in corners? Thanks

@@334trax2 I can't compare to a vehicle I haven't driven but otherwise yes it's basically a stock MR2 with a little extra bracing. The factory oil pan is baffled. If the oil pan has been replaced with one for a 1ZZ Corolla, it will not have baffling.

@@ES350gitgapped thanks, do you feel it is fun on track or to slow in total lap? I know it isn't a barn burner on straights but I mean considering corners for overall lap time. Do you need an LSD on these cars? I appreciate the reply, thanks.

@@334trax2 absolutely fun but a turbo would make it a lot better. It's like a slightly faster Miata. All serious drivers seem to have the 6 speed LSD transaxle. I personally don't drive mine so hard that I have any problems with the factory 5speed open diff transaxle. I've never even squealed the tires throwing it into corners in fact.

One of the most satisfying uploads I've seen in a long time. Don't get me wrong,I love the exotica you are playing with, but I've said for so long now that less can be more in scenarios like this and the moral Victor is this very well sorted little fire cracker...love it. Never heard the 1 z engine sounding so pumped as this, really would have thought it was a 2z conversation if you had told me. Would love to hear about the specs,until then....go off and slay a few more giants Jack!
