<< Guys,
Gotta face facts. There isn't a stock 4 cylinder MG sports car that
is really FAST, compared to most of the cars on the road. Handling
through corners and being a hoot to drive notwithstanding, these little
cars are not flat-out fast.

No real argument there. The fastest of the lot is the Twincam with 0-60 times
down around 9 seconds (as opposed to the sick ones that somehow got reviewed
at 12 secs. plus). This puts a Twincam in some pretty run of the mill company
these days. Even modified, the 0-60 times of racing Bs (and As) of around 7.5
- 8 secs. pale in comparison to, for instance, and becasue I'm familiar with
it, a V6 Fiero which does 8 secs or a tad better stock (my driver Fiero does
around 4.5, but that's another story and as much money in the engine as the
car is worth).
