At the 2005 nationals, there were 37 entrants in the open E
Stock class.
18 1993 MR2 entrants.
4 1991 MR2 entrants.
No 1994 MR2 entrants.
No 1995 MR2 entrants.
No 1992 MR2 entrants.

That's half the class one model year of a single car model.
Only one other year represented of that car model.

There were 10 open-class trophies. 8 of the 10 were 1993 MR2
entrants. (4th was a Porsche and 9th was a Miata).

In the L class, there were 7 entrants. 5 were 1993 MR2
entrants. No other Toyota cars.

There must be compelling reasons why the 1993 is percieved
to be the car to have. (In the first-gen MR2 cars, only one
year had a rear sway bar.) There must be something unique
about the 1993 model year.

So what's the reason that other years of MR2 need not apply?
