So does anybody know what I'm up against. It looks real light, but it sounds like a 4banger with a good fart can on it so I don't think I'll have a problem. So please resond and thx in advance. Can I take him? I'm pretty sure I won't have a problem, once we hit about 60 I should have him easy, but I really don't know.

Just wanted to add, i don't think he has much other than the exhaust that sounds like a** and I know for sure its not turbocharged or anything.

it was/is the newer version of the mr2 (both are not inproduction anymore). but they call it an mrs because it's a mid engine rear wheel drive spyder. it comes with a 4banger indeed. but as always, with the right person modding the car they can be made fast. i remember a while back when they first came out someone on the mr2 forums swapped in a 3sgte engine (i think that's the right code for the mr2 turbo engine) and turned mid to low 12s with just the swap and on conservative boost. but off the show room floor they were na.

I don't know what kind of car YOU have but those 3rd gen MR2's are slow as ****. Unless your car can't run better then low 15s, in which case you probably shouldn't be wasting your time racing anyways, you'll have zero problems beating him.

yup, you're right i run low 15s at best.

Yeah they need a better engine to do anything really. The swap is very common though and relatively inexpensive. Buddy of mine has an older body style with the motor swap and he runs high 12's.. puts down 306rwhp.

You shouldn't have a problem with that one though, I am a Toyota mechanic at a local dealership and personally I hate those cars (that body style).. but I like the older ones with the "supra-esque" rear spoiler.

You should have nothing to worrie about.

MikesTorched05GT

Like someone said above they are from the factory slow as hell.....but it all depends on what kind of car your driving

I beat those in my 96 GT.

I only see chicks/secretaries driving those TOYS around here! It's a "cute" little car, according to them.

Ok thx guys and I drive a 2000 z28 with LTs, SLP lid with K&N, y-pipe and a mangaflow catback. I think it's safe to say i'm putting 335-340 rwhp. And like i said i've heard him driving around and i don't hear a turbo. Thx for the responses guys.

Unless your plan is to run it on an Autocross track don't even waste your gas.

Paco, LMAO @ your avatar.

Well I was thinking the same thing. I gave him are you serious look. But he keeps saying let's race, so i tell him anytime anywhere. I want him to give up before we hit the speed limit lol.

Socalmach

Tell him to put up the money and should shut him down. If not, you have some mod money.

Yea that thought entered my head!!! I'll ask him, so what have you all done to it so far? and if he doesn't mention a turbo then I'll be like...so whats 500 sound like to you? i'll take a look under the hood for good measure

Chaotic Firebird

They have the same motor as the Celica of the same years. Unless he turbocharged it or swapped the motor for a turbo one, it's slow.

dailydriver

IF he did not build/tune it "right", for high boost, it would still be slow, despite it's lighter weight!
