>>> I see the same thing here with good Mg's quicker than the TR-4 cars.  EXCEPT we have a couple TR-4's that are better prepared with the engine (bigger) and they are much better than the M.G.'s.  I also think  the MG's are  a lot lighter in weight for all seem very quick out of a corner. I also think that the MG engine is a lot better design to start with than thee TR-4 engine.  Way back in years I built MG engines and they were excellent in using high revs and very reliable.
