Came across a very stock looking MR2 tonight and heard him revving at the light. Naturally I took the bait. We took off from the light and all I saw was tail lights til he was out of sight. Damn that car was fast. It was bone stock looking with a mildly louder than stock exhaust note. He handed me my a$$. He pulled away from me like I pull away from a stock 89 Civic DX.
He was in Orange City over the weekend.

I believe it. Stock the MR2 turbo's were fast and some are really tweeked. When I was out at Huntington Beach CA a few years age I stopped over at Rod Millen Motorsports. He was making CA emmission legal MR2 turbos with over 300 rwhp! That is a serious power to weight ratio.

I think this guy was much faster than 13s. I have raced 13 second cars and never got waxed like this. My car was running great and I shifted perfect everytime too. It was just plain fast.

There is a bad sumbitch here. Its red and has a ram air deal on the top of the roof and to the side a little. Functional I assume since the motor is in the rear..? Its gotta body kit also, but not sure what kind. Anyway... it almost loaped. More of a pulse. Sweetest sounding import I have ever heard
