Default toying w/ a supercharged mr2

I got behind an old mr2 with a fart box on a four lane. Bored with easing around all afternoon, I deceided to have some fun. I passed him very calm and cool and pulled over in front of him. He got back beside me, mashed it and got back in front of me. I got on his tail taunting him to get on it. When I heard the rice flying I kicked it and passed him before the four lane went to two. I could hardly see him in the rearview so I slowed down and waited on him. I downshifted and eased into the throttle in 3rd to see if he wanted to play. As soon as he pulled to my bumper I left him sitting as if he had hit the brakes. He didn't hit the brakes so I let him catch back up again. By then I had to pull off to look for some parts for my daily driver at a junk yard. As he passed me he sounded off cause apparently thats all it would do.

I know it was cruel and usual punishment but I had to do it.

Some of the old boxy ones from the 80's came with blowers from the factory. They have a "supercharged" sticker on the back. Still slow.

My boy with an LS1 ran an MR2 a few weeks back and the outcome was very similar to your.

Nice Kill
