The MR2 however, is a better sports car (note I did not say faster) because of a simple few fact;

- The engine is mounted where it belongs. Between the front and rear axis of the car, in this case, behind the driver.

- It handles and more importantly, feels better than the Supra.

- It is far lighter than the Supra. Even with only 245hp, it has a similar power-weight ratio. Lighter is better.

Have you ever driven a mk4 Supra twin turbo?

I'm sorry i just can't agree with that statement except that the MR2 is a great car but not better then the Supra, are you high.

If you lived here in Toronto or come by in the Summer, give me a shout. I would gladly show you how the Supra preforms, although my brother owns it now .
