Either way you go, the car is going to outhandle any other car on the road that isnt $15,000+

I have out handled cars with a dead suspension in my 91 that cost in the upperwards of 75,000 to 80,000 a Corvette, (not sure if either were a Z06 or not) a Mercedes E55 AMG (complete joke) a BMW E36 M3 (not bad just not good enough to keep up with me) a Porsche 911 (I think that guy was surprised) lol. Yeah the list goes on and on.
The MR2 is considered by many to be one of the best handling cars ever built at any price. The only other car I know of that has that title which is so widely recognized is the Acura NSX again another amazing mid engine car. But when push comes to shuv I am an MR2 fan and I would much rather have MR2 Gen 5 MK2 with a 3SGTE with VVTI, a TRD wide body kit (which you can't really get any more) and a few suspension mods over an NSX. The MR2 is perhaps the most underestimated car of all time (as far as over all performance is concerned) tied with the original Mini Cooper S which was also an awsome car. As far as performance goes, the MR2 offers you what only a very select few other cars can at a much more ridiculous price.
