The MR2 requires more skill to drive than a front engine car. The minute you hit the apex you have to adjust for the weight of the rear end coming around, otherwise you spin. I remember everyone warning me about the snap oversteer on the MR2, but I was flying through an autocross, hit a sharp left hander sloping down, I flew off the track and spun 3 times, the Viper behind me had to start over.
Those damn cars are great handling machines until you are 9/10's at the limit then they can be a handful.
I drove a Solstice on the track and it was a breeze to whip around the track, I never once was worried about the rear end coming around.
Hey this pic looks identical to my car, except the dork in the front seat LOL:
