My friend has ordered one from japan (sw20 90), and it will be legal for importation here in march, it will then be placed in my garage for a full install of everything HKS under the red sun. I'll have a full report on what a stand alone tuned stock block sw20 pimped to the **** rides like

Re:Toyota MR2
MR2 turbo engine sucks at high Rpm unless it is the latest version. (the 94+ or soemthin?)
but it does haul *** under like 5K rpm
but once it hits like 90mph it just die off quick like that
like bamboo said. it`s def.ly not a good car for amture to take corners with. grip limit of the MR2 very unpredictable, they are senstive to every singal input. limit comes in very late, yet hard to correct because of the weight disburition. once it oversteer/understeer (depens on your input)there`s only a slight chance to correct. Not your typical counter steer on RWD could do. on corners it runs a complete different lines with different requirment of gas/braking/steering to balance it out.
but it will be a very fun car if u take it slow and learn how to tamp it

don`t forget the supra focus only on high speed/high rpm range
