People seem to think that the MX5 is about sideways action and they're just not! They're a good car to actually drive, not to be a chav in...
After being driven in and having a quick drive of a MR2 turbo (admittedly ~400hp) I can safely say that mid engined isn't for me - much too snappy - maybe with less power than the MR2 I went in they'd be a cracking drive...
The 4AGE is a bloody cracking engine I know that much, a silver/black top 20v conversion would be epic in one for a bit more punch. Typical Yamaha based engine really.
After driving and being in/around MX5s for a while, I have never been impressed with the engines, thy definitely feel to need a bit more character and oomph, they feel old and a bit stale really, seeing how easily they're boosted I can imagine that really helps them...
