I can tell you one thing, I have the same crappy model, so I can tell you first hand, it handles crappy
HOWEVER, to quote a certain Rasta AFTER a spin in said MG at Dex, "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyysah! mg mAN CAR HANDLIN TOIT' :lol:

Difference is no smog stuff (removed) and handling kit to lower / compensate for dotish american spec 1 inch higher requirement
also those damn bumpers are HEAVY
the car actually raised nearly an inch when I removed them

If I had the money I prolly woulda do the Sebring kit or chrome bumper conversion

MG Man,BANzai Rastafarai, Et al

His brother had it away and never used it. "Covered down in the Garage forever" was how he described it. His brother passed and the wifey had no desire to keep it and told him to take it back to Trini with him.
