A fair enough opinion Noone, but I can prmise you that the MR2 can probably out-accelerate you vortech charged 5.0 to a point as well. For comparisons sake it weighs 940 kg (tare) and has 170 bhp (127 kw), and runs 0-100 in about 6.3 seconds. The cornering isn't 'on rails', but is very exploitable and progressive, making it exciting without feeling like it is about to bite you. I have been in some faster cars before, but it made them no more thriiling. Also it pays to remember that proximity to the ground enhances the feeling of speed. A caterham or lotus can feel faster than it is because you sit lower in it.
