IIRC Evo were one of them. But you need to hook up the launch and use all the revs.

I hate it when car magazines quote figures where they short-shifted  How much, btw? I'm probably not that keen really but when figures look tempting then you do start to wonder...

I'm finding it really sodding hard to resist an MR2 at the moment. I've already been to look at a facelift one near me, if they had more luggage carrying capacity I would probably have bought one by now.

MI5 have confirmed he had committed suicide using the traditional Russian method: He shot himself 3 times in the head then hid the gun.

Looking at Autotrader, £3.5-4k.
It's got a Jobbo interior and a bluetooth USB stereo with handsfree, 4x OEM Bridgestones, underseal, and an uprated clutch.
And probably some bad bits, too.  Have you got anything interesting in the Jobbo fleet to swap?

maybe the boffins from toyota bunged on some pre-heated slicks, extra soft rear suspension and raised the rev limit so the sprint suited the gearing while they weren't looking?

Evo have form for ambitious 0-60 times. They claimed the m coupe did 60 in 4.3 seconds.

Probably for the best, my sand wasn't really sand, it was used cat litter.
If it was fresh cat litter, he could use it to stop his walking boots from stinking.

Sorry, would need to be more comparable in price to my MX5 than the Boxster I sold to be a goer
