A couple of years ago before the Stangs my soon to be wife at the time had an 01 Viper. I was out showing my brother how the beast ran and was getting on an entrance ramp. Just as I turned and got on the long ramp an MR2 turbo thought he would be cute and jumped right on my bumper. I looked over at my bro and said hang on. I dropped to 5mph which really pissed the ricer off and then dropped the hammer. This of course produced some great wheel spin with some nice gravel and road bits pelting the poor fellow behind me. Needless to say he very rapidly got smaller and smaller in the rear view. It's amazing how quickly those Vipers will break 100mph. Oh....the ricer.....after I came back down to speed limit and even lower to get him to pass.....he refused.

 

Viper vs. MR2....what the hell was he thinking

Those cars are pretty cool though. I would love to own a MR2 for a DD/auto-x car.

 

Actually they are pretty cool.......respectable accel and hold the road like glue

 

until you try to brake, cuz the front end of the car is so light the front end tends to lock up pretty easily.

 

The old school MR2's are pretty ugly. The "Newer" one is kinda cool, and doesnt look half bad.
I believe the older one's are supercharged though. I would look it up, but im at work and this crap is dial up

 

You could get the older ones stuper charged, and the newer ones turdbo.

 

How fast are they stock? MR2 turbos? My buddy's got one and said he would beat me. But I was just wondering...

 

...this by far is not a typical one, but still a mr2 turbo
