I could laugh at those who have spent thousands to squeeze a few extra horsepower out of an engine in a car that rally doesnt need any more power

 Brian

Rev1s

& 2s have better 0-60s? On what planet? All the ones I've driven have been dog-slow compared to even a standard healthy Rev3

(yes I know there are many tasty modded Rev1/2's on here before flaming commences!).

You don't need to spend

'thousands' to squeeze a lot more than

'a few extra horsepower' out of these cars

- that's one of their best points.

And once you've tried an extra 50 or 80 bhp you will soon realise how much better the car feels to drive.

I can only assume you haven't?

For me, I just don't really understand the whole

'status' thing.

.I find it pretty sad.

I replaced my MR2 with an SLK.

.

.why? It was the only car me

& the wife could agree on

- not because I was worried about the badge.

We've also got a bashed-up Micra and I'm just as happy tooling around in that

- I really couldn't give a t0ss what anyone else thinks.

Modding the MR2 for more power was something I did because I wanted to

- maybe the same as adding a Ferrari kit in your eyes but in my opinion only the same if the gentleman just really preferred the style of the 355 to the MR2 and really wasn't bothered about making people think

'he'd made it' or whatever.

But personally, I'm none too convinced.
