Well i think it was a turbo, he hung on to the back of my TT dam well, it was fitted with i nice veilside body kit and it was jet black. Started of he pulled up along side me at some lights, so i pulled away steady then floored it, but he kept up, so then we come to the next set of lights side by side and both in the lanes to take us on to the A45, so again pulled of slowly as did he, then we hit the slip road and it was just a straight drag managed to pull a couple of car lenghts in front and then the autobox slipped nicely into third and before i know it im doing 120mph and the MR2 has dropped back some more, and that was it got stuck in row of traffic and he flashed me when i turned off. Best race i've had yet with a worthy opponent. (treated the zed to a nice victory wash afterwards) well chuffed:cool: :D

The MR2 Turbo is a very very fast car. But there are 2 different powers though. Some are 245BHP and some are 220bhp if I remember correctly. They are very light and because they are rear engine and rear wheel drive they lose very little through transmission. I would expect that a 245bhp Turbo would keep up with a Z to 60-70 mph before the extra torque of the Z had an advantage.

 

They way to tell the difference between a Turbo and NA MR2 is the look at the grill at the back. NA the grill is flat, Turbo the grill vents are rised.

 

Good story though.
