stock vs stock?

the Del Sol Si might keep up with a Miata, but its not going to keep up with an MR2 N/A or Turbo.

Doms,
READ and RESPECT the forum Rules and Guidelines.

Search before you post/ask questions.

The MR2 is a bitch to work on. Trust me on this.

Miata is a cool freaking car. RWD, light, and lots of potential. Don't worry about people calling it a "girl car". Also a drop top.

Del Sol doesn't really hold much allure for me. The seats are nice and that's about it. Agian, people are going to call it a "girl car", but now this one doesn't really have any cool feature.

My old 1st gen was a PITA. Changed the waterpump, could not even see where the mating surface was, so could not probably clean it/seal it back up with the engine in the right position!

Del Sol S
MR2
Miata

Depends on what you want to do with the car... The Del Sol S obviously would have the most options to build onto, especially with all the Honda parts compatible and available Stock for stock though, I think the Miata was proven in 1993 to be the "better" of the three, but only during that year, according to Car & Driver magazine.

keep in mind the miata isnt really for racing, its more of a handling car.my manager has one and he will smoke my *** on a road course.i have a 91 hb si with a b16 and he just has a stock early model miata. there more for handling than anything else.

i never said a Del Sol VTEC can take out Turbo'd SW20. he's talking about a a stock MR2...if it was A turbo'd one, it'd handle the EG2 in a heart beat, but a stock 130HP, I dun think so

If I had more time for the track I would. I just can't seem to give up the hatch space of my car (just brought home a full headboard in it last week).

You know there is a STOCK MR2 Turbo right?

The Turbo model Toyota MR2 has 200HP and 200ft/lb Tq, it runs a 14.7-14.9 in the 1/4, and can easily be woken up with just more boost and an open exhaust. With good cooling and a better turbo, and tuning, low 12's easy.

even though I love hondas, I put my money on the Turbo MR2. Is the mr2 even in the same class as the other two?

depends on what you're talking about. For quarter-mile i'll agree that the stock MR2 probably takes it. But i've been to plenty of solo2 events and the MR2 and Del Sol don't even come close to the Miata there.

and for for..well, i've got a sweet spot for the MR2 personally
