My mate just rang me up and said he cant afford the 300zx so is going for mr2 turbo. he said he is even happier now as it will beat my tt auto.

 

if this is the case then good for him and bummer for me. he has allways been competitive with me on cars.... allways

 

i dont know about mr2's but if it is quicker i guess i dont mind losing for once. hehehehe ^^

 

what you guys think

Yep he will beat you off the mark but get a long enough bit of road and you will reel him back in.

what speed do you reckon i will get it back?

 

providing their is a long enough road?

0-60 he will win, but 60+ you will demolish him!

ok well i can live with that. it will be good to see him in something that doesnt sound like S&^t like his beemer does at the moment. although he hasnt looked after it. i think this mr2 will cost him big if he doesnt look after this car ^^

0-60 is about the same.

60+ Zed is quicker.

he cant afford a zed??? but hes buying an mr2 turbo?? Good luck to him, everyone i know whos had any MR2 has had nothing but trouble and expense!!

oooooh dear. reckon i should let him know. surely its gotter be better than his banger. i will advise him on the expenses that may occur

I've had my mr2 turbo (rev2) for nearly 3yrs, hasn't missed a beat.

Probably the most reliable car i've had.

As for performance against a tt auto z, it will beat a z upto about

80mph reasonably easy (it is modded though!), then it will give it a

good run upto 100+, then the z will leave it for dust.

The book speed for an mr2 tubby is 149mph, although anything over

120'ish is frightening to say the least.

Agree with side show, I had one for few years; great fun to drive, but scarry at high speed, too small. everything was ok until the engine eat the turbo!!! big bang!

MR2 turbos are pretty tough, although a presume lots of them are badly abused. A much more resilient engine than a Z.

£2 worth of mig tips and a chipped ecu and you,ll eat him ;)
