They're not exactly fast (like a GTR) or anything, but still got a bit of punch. People expect them to be as slow as an S13 or something but they're not
The GEN2 MR2s were nothing to write home about, but the GEN3 motor made 182kW from stock. Not bad for a 4-banger that came out in 1994 and weighed ~1200kg.
I've got the GEN2 body (with no PS or anything) but GEN3 engine, so best power/weight ratio
Being mid-engine they're great for launching, just like the WRXs. Just dump the clutch and it grips like sand to a wet vagina
