I had one. They handle fantastically (better than my blobeye WRX did), but are a little low on power. I fitted a TTE bolt on turbo (TTE SPORT PARTS) and the car was awesome. Although it had about 50% less power than my WRX, it was 2 seconds a lap faster (on a 2 minute track) and great fun. Never once had brake fade on the track (oem brakes).
I've got a Classic STi Type-RA now, but haven't had a chance to get it on a track yet. I'm very interested to see how it is compared to the MR2 and the Blobeye.
