Ok so you don't like the look of the MR2 but you think a Tercel is better?
I understand that you want to be unique, but trust me, my lightweight FWD car has problems hooking up with just 155whp. You're talking about 350-400whp in a light weight car, which basically means you'll never ever be able to put that power to the ground. Ever. From a physics standpoint, the Mk1 MR2 is the best chassis to put an engine of that power into because the most weight is over the drive wheels. Plus RWD cars are way more fun to drive then FWD cars.
