I love my R56. It's way underpowered but has a really fun chassis and a 6-speed manual that's an absolute joy. Running some errands feels like a little Montecarlo Rally and the risk of losing my license is quite small

Yes easily. Weight dist / anti sway setup would probably be a good idea and gas mileage won’t be great. This is over 10k pounds, no issues though it’s short distance and limited seasonal duty.

I also have a 4Runner for off-road use & because I am kind of an idiot I added a supercharger/exhaust. Nice to see others have off-readers as well, I am good at justifying vehicle purchases & mods.....

A supercharger for the 4Runner is tempting. It does not like uphill on ramps. None of our Honda Pilots and Odyssey's ever felt slow but I've read up on the Magnuson supercharger a few times.

My plan was to install the supercharger right when I bought the vehicle, but I drove for about 3.5k miles before install, so I can tell you - power up hills and passing on 2-lane highways are where you notice the most improvement. It feels substantially more powerful, the back wheels will chirp if I slam the throttle under 20mph.
The 4runner is mainly for certain days where I know I will need ground clearance for work, or for family trips where we need the entire cargo area, or going off-road, so mileage was not a concern ~ 5k miles a year. I was initially going to buy a 6MT Wrangler or 6MT Tacoma, but both were a little crammed for my cargo needs, Tacoma backseat is too small, so I decided if I can not have a manual I will try a Supercharger and it has been a good/fun experience.

I had a Magnuson Supercharger installed in 2019 and it really changed the dynamics of the 4runner, more responsive, more power, more low-end TQ, and a great noise.
