IMO the MR2 is far better designed for this type of application. It's lighter to a degree that you can't achieve with a MKIII. It came with very close to the same amount of power as the 7M-GTE but carrying over 1000 pounds less weight. Shorter wheelbase more central moment of inertia (goes into corners like a madman.. the good kind of madman). MUCH better built. While fewer of these made it the US than the MKIII they're easier to find in good shape and have a lot more aftermarket availability. Quote:
MIATAS ARE FOR HAIRDRESSERS!!!! (So are MR-Ss.) |

dont get me wrong, miatas can be bad to the bone, and id love to smoke mustangs and porches in a miata, but i just dont fit...like, not at all lol. and an MR2...mid engine...that looks like a monster right there! imagine a 800hp 2JZGTE motor, in a mid engined, all wheel drive car as light as an MR2....talk about monstrous! and ive seen more men in the miata, by far, than women...scary...

Anyway, we're WAY off target now, it's my fault, my apologies. My point was simply that there are more reliable options which are far more nimble (which you really want for autocross) which can make a lot of power. As for the argument of the 1JZ or 2JZ being able to make 1000RWHP.... well, yeah, but it doesn't help here that's more of a drag race advantage. Building an autocross car for that kind of power is just throwing your money in the wrong place. |
