My view of the MR2 was well researched - I said with a few cheap modifications you could blow away a porsche - Regli I have come to respect you and feel saddened you did not read the links to give me the benefit of the doubt for my claim. Go back and read the entire post and ALL the links - here is one of the original links - you can buy a toyota racing suspension kit = the sportivo - for less than 1K that does not void the warranty that gives the MR2 a 1.03 G rating that far surpasses the porsche 911 and 72.8mph in thier slalom. sportcompactcarweb.com Testing We've hardly done anything and this car already kicks ass. Our basic, entry-level suspension choice was good enough to pull 1.03g on the skidpad at The Streets of Willow Springs. Exceeding 1.0g was our goal for this part of the build-up, so we're stoked. Dave Coleman reports the most amazing thing wasn't the number, but the way the Sportivo suspension handled the rough, dirty, bumpy pavement of the Streets' skidpad. It was totally planted, easy to balance with the throttle, with no skipping, jumping sideways, or tail-out shenanigans. Furthermore, Project MR2 Spyder went through our 600-ft. slalom at 72.8 mph. The Axis MR2 Spyder was only 1 mph faster in the slalom with more than twice the power and adjustable coil-overs. On the street, this car feels as fast as it is. Everyone who has driven it is impressed with its grip. It's possible to spin the inside rear tire just slightly when exiting a slow corner in a low gear, but not to the point of oversteer. Though a traction-aiding differential would eliminate that, we don't plan to install one until we've seen big horsepower increases. Now Regli, 72.8 beats the porsche's 70.2 eh? For a lot LESS money too - I am always looking for VALUE. Don't fret - many porsche owners get upset when us cheapie toyota rice boys would blow past them around The DRAGON in north carolina - hehe.
