the 2.8 wasnt exactly desirable in an F-body, but considering how small it was in a car that size, it didnt do too badly. My first car was a 2.8 87 firebird. That thing wasnt too fast, but it was indestructable. I couldnt kill it, and believe me. I tried. Yea, the MR2 is gonna have a little more power, but when the car breaks down, its gonna be a lot more expensive to fix. I have an 86 trans am and i just had a rebuilt 305 stuck in there for 4800 dollars. my neibor has a mitsubishi montero, a new one, and his engine siezed. (not the cars fault. When he took it in for service, the idiots at mitsubishi forgot to put the oil back in the car) he had his engine rebuilt. same engine, just rebuilt, which is supposed to be cheeper than having a new engine put in, and it ran him almost twice what mine was. Everything they needed to rebuild it had to be shipped over from japan, and they passed on the price to him. I say, go with the Fiero. Domestic cars are almost always cheeper to fix when something happens.
