my homie has a mr2, im not much of a fan but theyre pretty quick for wut they put out. if u put a turbo on yer 5.0 then he wouldnt even be worthy to line up against you.

toyota turbo motors are sometimes a pain in the *** to get tuned properly, but, if you can get it tuned, a RIGHT mr2 turbo is pretty damn quick. mid-engine, rear-wheel drive. i kno guys that launch at 6000rpm's and dont even chirp the tires. theyre hell out of the hole, but, once u get a s/c or a turbo(if u havent decided yet), you should be able to eat him alive !!!! as long as he dont get mad at you for WHOOPIN' him !!! haha

I know if i turbo'ed or s/c'ed i could kill it, stock. He just bought a GT25 turbo and should have that on soon. Shooting for around 400rwhp, 350rwtrq...

I dont know ifi could keep up with that.

One of my friends has one and he said that they are not that light at all. Actually look at the door and you would be suprised at what it says.

those mr2's were deemed one of the faster car to 30 mph so with a turbo the o-60 would be that of a vette or supra

I doubt your car weighs that much. 03 Cobra Verts are like 3800-3900.
