Sorry I just had to dig this thread up.

I have a '96 3SGE MR2.
My brother has a 2006 G25 (350GT here in NZ) 6 spd manual.

It DESTROYS my car. I have driven both. 350GT is much harder to drive (get traction) off the line, but his tires are pretty bald.

Both are completely stock.

If you want a straight line race, get a solid rear axle car like a Mustang.

Otherwise, you SHOULD be doing suspension work. My 1MZ MR2 would wipe up the G35, but that's not the whole point and it really doesn't matter much to me.

What does matter to me is that I can have fun in my car without quoting magazine-esque numbers. I think people get too bogged down in those.

I've always wanted to beat this guy. his first car was a 93 FD rx7-turbo. After I beat him then I'm ok with str8 lines.
