I thought they were more like 180bhp and 175ft Ilb torque...... I stand corrected. A guy I used to work with had both a SC MK1 and a MK2 Turbo.

plus insurance on that will be £££££££
mk1 t-bar 1.6 is about £600 with the mrs on the policy
mk2 t-bar 2.0 is about £1000-1000 again with the mrs on the policy.
mk1 with super charge will be a ass lubing situation

Mk1 Supercharged aren't that much more to insure than a normal one, about the same as a MK2 NA. And it won't be anywhere near as fast as a MK2 Turbo.

mid mounted engines and RWD give a false sense of security to inexperienced drivers.
they get stacked if you drive like a twat!
its that simple...

thank you for your input but it wasnt aimed at you 
this whole post people have been banging on about how how dangerous MR2's are
was just clarifying why they get written off all the time
