Re: Another Kill to report......EVO
Mr2's are bitch cars. It must be pretty cramped in that little shitbox while your going down the road trying to put your lipstick on.
Top five biggest bitch cars of all time:
1) Toyota Celica
2) Mitsubishi Eclipse
3) Volkswagen Beetle
4) Toyota MR2
5) Acura RSX

Re: Another Kill to report......EVO And since we all like to post websites to prove points, check the one below and see what a Camaro SS did on the track to supposedly superior cars.

Re: Another Kill to report......EVO It is such a strange phenomena when someone pulls their head out of the world of "internet speculation" and posts some reality....how a once lively thread, just dies!!! Long live American Iron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Re: Another Kill to report......EVO
I couldn't help but to compare the SS and the MR2... the SS annihilates it. Try it on that page.
Lets look at the comparison ...
------------- 98 Camaro SS ------------ MR2 Turbo Coupe
0-60 ---------- 5.2 seconds ------------- 6.0 seconds
0-100 -------- 12.7 seconds ------------ 16.7 seconds
1/4 ----------- 13.9 @ 105 ------------- 14.8 @ 93mph
Seems to me like you'd have a real hard time "outrunning us".
Oh yeah, camaro kid, I completely agree on your list of women cars. The rs-x is pretty nice, but other then that all the others are *** cars.
Re: Another Kill to report......EVO Btw, after lookin at my own stats alittle closer ... i see that the MR2 looses top end significantly as you get towards 100 ... notice how long it takes it to go from its trap speed of 93mph to its 0-100 speed, almost 2 whole seconds, to get less then 10 mph. Thats pathetic. I dont know about you guys, but my car runs like a bat outta hell until 140+ where I start to notice the accelleration starts dropping alittle.
I think you should be comparing your car with a honda civic, and not ours 25psi.

Oooh yeah... as soon as I hit 3 grand, I'm feeling all 9 lbs, and my car is a rocket. I know exactly what your saying... MR2's should come stock with the words "No *****" painted all over in classic ricer sticker-style.

Re: Another Kill to report......EVO Well, in fairness, I'm the one quoting Car & Driver. Who came up with acceleration figures just like Phantom's a few posts up.
The "manliness" in driving a 2nd-gen MR2 comes when it's time to correct all the toe-out the rear suspension induces under compression while cornering. Evidently, you need some hair on your chest to keep the f--ker from swapping ends on ya.
Toyota supposedly corrected this early on, but the quoted JapCar MR2 reference posts make me wonder.
Kinda puts a serious crimp in the whole handling superiority angle. I'd have to guess the Evo VIII is a better poster child for that argument...

Re: Another Kill to report......EVO Looks like 25psi needs to find him another hang out . A ls1 would murder his *** 
and many of the trucks running on here would own him and his friends. Why come to a gm website and argue us about a bunch of damned imports we all know they are . He is such a looser I would like to see him meet up with blown chevy and see him get his *** waxed by a truck.

Re: Another Kill to report......EVO Dude..
25PSI, you say that the MR2 will out handle any Mustang or F-body...so let's compare the MR2 to a 2003 Altima.
http://www.car-videos.com/performance/track.asp?track=1
Hm, what's this? The 2003 Altima (rank 29) ran a faster lap than the almighty 1991 Turbo (rank 32) MR2?
Apparently, all you need to out handle an MR2 is a 20003 Altima *family car*, or pretty much anything with wheels. But hey, it's only one track... it doesn't prove anything, right?
Oh damn, I was wrong. Here's another track where the MR2 (rank 27) gets outlapped by the 2003 Altima(rank 22.)
http://www.car-videos.com/performance/track.asp?track=6
In conclusion, Nissian Altima > Toyota MR2..we don't even need to bring any real cars into this argument. The MR2 has enough trouble with family cars. Here's the comparo for the two. http://www.car-videos.com/performanc...05&ID2=258
P.S. - That track website is very, very informative.
P.P.S. - I don't know much about the tracks involved, but if the MR2 can't outlap a Maxima..what CAN it outlap?

ROTFL ... What a MANLY CAR !!! Hey 25psi .. how ever do you manage to control that beast?
I'm thinking that they mean it takes a MANLY man to stay awake while driving it ... most of us would probably pass out driving something that cant even handle an Altima/Maxima.
Dont worry 25psi, I know what its like to have a slow-*** car ... the first car I ever owned, was the one my parents bought me. 82 Trans am, 4 speed (stick). My dad took out the 8cyl and threw a 4 cyl in there, especially for me. I had that thing floored everywhere I went, and grandma's would be taking me off the line. I'm sure that explains why you spend most of your time on here telling us how fast it is, instead of being out on the street/track actually driving it.
