Car is way fun!  Absolute best performance modification was discovering
that throttle only opened 2/3 of the way when gas pedal was floored.  This 
was not a linkage adjustment problem, the actual gas pedal needed to be
bent upward to get the full travel.  I enjoy various club track days at Portland 
International Raceway, the last with the Porsche Club.  The MR2 was never
passed!  Many a 911 was caught as they breaked earlier before corners and 
often weren't as fast through the corners.  Great way to spend $65-$95 and 
several hours.  Cheaper than most tickets, I believe!

Modifications:
