Rep Power: 0 Hey my friend just took one for a test drive. But they are sort of hard to get a hold off. I think they only make 5000 a year and they sell at or above sticker price due to demand. The one he took for a spin was one of the five in the entire New England area!!!

Rep Power: 0 The old mr2s are extremely over-powered big go-carts. I had a friend that had the turbo. Man! That thing was wicked fast and handled awesome. The new ones look good, but they forgot the hp.

Otherwise, I would be concerned about that.
BTW, the new MR2's aren't exactly cheap to work on either.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]
