The Spyder (MR-S) is much more fun than the SW20 (mk2). Slower stock, sure, but the go-kart feel is there. Power is easier to fix than, balance and feel. I put a 2GRFE 3.5L v6 in my 2001 Spyder, and it puts down 271 rwhp (~310 at the crank) with a table top torque curve. The car is nuts and still handles excellent.
