The mr2 is very lackluster and light on its feet. It doesnt have the power and the steering feel doesnt feel right compared to my gsx. I feel at home in the gsx, too bad I cant afford to track it.
Thats probably because you are so used to driving the GSX.... i've driven several 1st and 2nd gen GSX's, and autocrossed a 2nd gen with springs/shocks/swaybars and lots of boost - plainly, it sucked. Didnt want to turn, way too heavy, etc. Freshen up the MR2 and its a blast to drive - no it does not have the power, but also be warned that when the rear starts to slide, it will most likely spin - not much fun at 100mph

Those are going to be way too heavy... keep the stock rims and put a set of Falkens on.
