My 180 felt like a dart, the center of gravity was definitely ahead of you and the rear kind of swinging along behind it. Even my GTR feels this way, bu to a lesser The supercharged first gen MR2 with the overdrive pulley wanted to rotate around a point right behind the shifter and tried very hard to do that a lot. I don't like this; it feels all wrong. No thanks.

Heck, some people even prefer FWD. Different strokes.

Nah.
Good Man! The MR-S is one of the hidden treasures of performance driving and the sole reason I do not currently own a FR-S.



I would really like to drive an older NSX but I have no interest in the new one even if I could afford it (which I am pretty sure I cannot).

When people called the CD office and asked to speak to him, they would know buy how the caller pronounced his name whether they should be passed through.

I didn't feel it was necessary since the article was basically a copy and paste of what was said in the video.

Just ask another Hungarian. I would have helped you.

The hard part is finding one to bring to Canada.
We have a few in Ontario, but generally they're over 8k CAD.
Not to mention a hard top is damn near unicorn status.

Nah.
I've never gone to an autox or the track with my MR-S but I really don't think this car is that easy to spin. I've broken the rear loose on accident a lot of times as well as intentionally in a big parking lot and it was always really easy to bring back in line. If a novice like me doesn't spin even when I try to, it can't be that unforgiving.

Okay, except that time I floored it, cranked the steering wheel one full rotation, and then mashed the brake. It spun around >360 degrees, and that was really scary.

I hear the earlier MR2s are much less forgiving though. Iron block probably has something to do with it.
