<p class="MsoNormal">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.<br clear="all">
