integra vs mr2

[redline_13000]

me and weaponr met up with some friends tonight...asked them for a race...so we ended up racing a couple times..won every race but the mr2 did pretty good..it was bone stock...took one race up to 180kmh actually

Sweet races!

Okay good. I was gonna raise a huge if you said it was an MR2 Turbo 'cause my friend had one and it raped, and I mean RAPED a 5th gen Prelude off the line.

[redline_13000]

i know dude of course it would....

[Weapon_R]

Ya it was an older one - those things are surprisingly peppy off the line, but they couldn't compete after that...I steadily pulled past him even with some headstarts! Then he does some ricer flyby on 16th ave, I had no clue we were racing, he gets a good 2 car lengths ahead befor I shift down, and I still got him.

I know those MR2's are fast , but Was that before or after all the Engine mods though?

weren't the really old mr2's supercharged?

Yes the older ones came supercharged, and then they came with a turbocharged engine in 1991 and above. Those ones were pushing 200hp...Good levels of torque, and small frame = fast

When I drove my car down to Calgary, I did a couple stoplight to stoplight runs against a highly modified MR2 Turbo. The guy I was racing seemed really cool with the fact that he lost.. probably not something he was used to. Those MR2 turbos are like little NSXes/F355s and are definately sweet machines.

[Redlyne_mr2]

Yah I love mine, i wouldnt trade it for anything, when I get my NSX the MR2 is still goign to stay with me!

88 and 89 had the supercharged ones...

i believe it was more around the 180 hp mark... and for a damn light car like that... approx. 1500 lbs, expect the thing to fly...

hahaha... ever try getting the supercharger kicking in reverse down crowchild at 3:00 am

but yeah those old lil go carts are hella fun and pretty damn peppy N/A. hehe bol and I certainly had fun with that 86 mr2

The 88 and 89 SC MR2's had no where near 180HP...they were at 145. The turbo's, 90 and above, had 200HP. Either way, quick for a go cart!

[2000impreza]

the old supercharged mr2's are actually pretty fast. i had a friend with a 93 prelude srv with bolt on mods that got beat by one. not sure what the mr2 had besides exhaust.

[Redlyne_mr2]

You put the hks pully, intake and exhaust on those old supercharged mr2's and it makes it just as fast as a stock turbo mr2

[Weapon_R]

I think it's the weight advantage that the MR2's have over other cars. Between the older pre-88 style, and the newer 90 style, there is so little weight difference and they are all quite light. I have always loved those cars..my ex had one and we used to have so much fun with it...they are probably the funnest cars to drive!
