Message	purchasing an MR2 Mark 2 Turbo before I bought the Z32. From all my reading on various MR2 forums, earlier Mark 2's had an issue with the car spinning out on you if you let off the throttle during a turn on a track. Later model years of Mark 2's had revised suspension components that prevented this from happening. I suspect that might have something to do with it.
