The MR2’s were woefully undersold. At least in my neck of the woods. Always heard they were a ton of fun. A friend of a friend put a JDM engine in his first gen and it sang very nicely.
A better engine on the first gen is the answer.
What engine did your friend use?
Unfortunately , I don’t know. It was 20+ years ago and I never got the chance ask specifics. I just remember my friend mentioning it and then hearing it drive off after a quick visit.
