(though being an SC+mods helps give it a bit more oomph so don't have to rev the nuts off it so much

It really does plaster a smile on your face! I'd recommend using a road angel or similar, helps to keep your eyes on the road.
I remember the mr2 grin.

the SC grin added another few degrees to the curvature of the smile.

I prefer to listen to the noise usually, its fun!
Always been a fan of pop ups since I was a boy, however, I'll take the fact it's mid engine, has great handling and has such a wild shape over the pop-ups as the
"main reason" I bought one anyday

Not bothered about people beating me of lights or down the road etc, just enjoying the car knowing it's superior stats.
Honestly, this has never happened to me, even with a few motorbikes
(in my old auto SC which was great from the lights).
I've kept up with everything from GT4s to integras

Anyway, enjoy the car
- I've had mine nearly 5 years now!! and it's been out of action since june last year
(no reason just don't need it as I work from home at the moment) but I'm getting ready to finally fix it up good and proper for the next 5
(until I can afford a nismo 350z or something
)
