Hybrid MK1 handling

So far I heard of the Mk1.5 and I seen online a man who stuffed a Northstar V8 into an MK1 and I know their are a couple of more swaps I missed for this car. I see the amount of horsepower that these machines are putting out but how good is the handling after the swap was made? For anyone who has a hybrid MK1 I give yall props, I started my project and hope to one day own a good auto-X hybrid :icon16:

I had the opportunity to passenger around the Fabi Circuit @ Shannonville Raceway (Canada) in Deno Plumley's MK1.5:

There is no complaints in handling.
That car is a beautiful monster.
It's the best MK1.5 I have ever seen.

At the Canada meet, there was also a MK1 with the turbo AWD Talon motor stuffed into it.

The V8 MK1 is being built by Bill Strong, the owner of mr2oc.com.

Turbo AWD engine :eek7: .......Thats amazing! first time I heard of a swap like that done on an MR2, Im gonna search around some more b4 I decide on a swap for the car. Thnx for the feedback.

1.5's handle amazingly :)

And I agree with Jeff, Deno's 1.5 looks amazing (but just wait till the end of this summer ;))

ForcedInduction509, the MR2 is not AWD ... it just has THAT motor.

I got that part :grinyes: Thnx for the remind though........Now that I think about it has anyone heard about any Mid Engine AWD car? cause someone told me their is a supercar with that type of set up. Just curious, that comment got me thinking about that.

I thought Lamborghini made an AWD Diablo?
(maybe I am on crack)

Yeah your right, the new Lamborgini Gallardo is a 10 cyl, Mid-Engine, AWD monster. Thats a sick combination, wish I can afford one :icon16:
