The MR2T was more fun than my 03 350Z by a factor of 100%. The wholesaler I bought my Tokiko Illuminas from raced a 1st gen MR, and he said the 2nd gen cars would pull away from Nissan 300Zs on an oval track because it stuck so well in the curves.
If I had a 3 car garage, I'd buy an MR2T, but I don't leave my cars outside, ever.

Yeah, all in all the Miata has nice handling but thats it, it really isn't a performing sport car, it is more of a convertible with a bit of handling spunk. It isn't fast, even the new speed is slow in comparison to the new MRS and the MRS has 30 less horses and no turbo. If you are interested there is video on youtube which is a race between the MR2 with 220BHP, an NSX, RX7, Mitsibishi 3000GT VR4, Nissan Skyline, and an MR GT (I think that one was 170 BHP) When this video was made the MR2 with 220BHP. I can't fint he link right now, but I will look for it if you can't find it. It is on there though. It is worth watching and will definitely make you proud to be an MR2 owner.
