Hmmm...I think I met this guy at the SouthWest MR2 meet in Vegas in April. Super nice guy, he didn't have the supercharger in at that time. I used to love MR2's until a bunch of my friends started getting them. The motor can be a bitch, and they don't handle so well. They push into turns like a frontwheel drive car and then out of nowhere the backend will start to slide. For a street cruiser, they're awesome.

the MR2 turbo (Second gen): Great acceleration, Great breaks, the (Stock) handling can only be described as EVIL. that car is trying to kill you. A lot of them left the road/track backwards. Pretty car though. but threre are better performing platforms out there for simmilar prices.

once you modified the suspension properly, they were pretty good but never enough to be compeditive in there class (Autocross).

my friend knows this guy very well. from what ive heard he's a genious. he does all work HIMSELF in his OWN GARAGE. have u guys not noticed that car had an engine swap? thats no stock turbo 4 banger....its the camry v6. the 350z daytona blue one is his wifes car. his yellow one has a similar swap but on top of that a TRD supercharger. my friend told me he raced a Z06 and barely lost. cool thing about having that swap is u get responsive torque up the a$$. think of it as stuffing that little car's engine bay with a v8. except the v6 weighs no more than the turbo 4, and looks much nicer and cleaner resting in the engine bay
