some punk round here bout an mr-2, and he doesnt even know where the spark plugs go. it's a second gen and he already blew the motor by hooking up n2o wrong. he says they run 14.5 stock? is he right?

 

MR2's run pretty fast stock. Turbo MR2's did pretty well in the old A Stock class in Solo II and especially Pro Solo (and should do pretty good in the "new" B Stock). NA MR2's rule E Stock, and the new MR2 Spyders do pretty well against the Miatas in B Stock.

14.5's? Damn, your buddy must run on a small lot.

 

I think its one of those strange lots with no turns.

A turbo 2nd-gen MR2 (200hp) ran 14's stock. But not the nonturbo version (140hp?)... that's probably a mid-high 15 second car.

But hey, with NOS, anything's possible. I saw in a movie that NOS will make any fwd car on street tires do 10's in the 1/4.

Hope that helps,

Jon

 

14.5's is a good foundation

Word.

 

Dude your "flow" is coming along nicely! All your effort is paying off.


I have nothing of value to add to this thread.

 

This is totally true. I put NOS on my Big Wheel and did an 11.374 @ 135mph, and that was on those plastic tires! NOS RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well... I can't be takin' all the quan. My brass monkey peeps are keeping the word fresh for me.

 

Then why did a CRX win nationals this year?

 

E stock is now the playground for NA MR2. G stock is the Carpenter class now.

 

lol, yeah, i run with him here, he won GS by 1.6s this past weekend, and got 9th overall out of 84cars.

He is listed under pgs (Pro G-Stock), we have a pro class for some people to run in to give others chance.

Well grasshopper if you would have looked up a few spots on the results page you would have seens C-Stock (otherwise known as MR2-Stock)

 

Where have you been Andy? That was last year. You should know this word well by now, if not get used to it! Say it with me....C...e...l...i...c...a.....G...T...

 

MR2 second Gens. weigh like 3,100 lbs ...... the turbo model does NOT run 14's stock.

Stock they are around 15.2-15.5 typically, and the 140 hp model is dawg azz slow in a straight line.

But the turbo model is VERY easy to get much faster.

 

Oh. Let me try... S... e... n... t...

Ack. Once more... S... E... R...

Dammit. I knew I shouldn't have fallen asleep in Hooked on Phonics third period.

 

That's OK...I'll be glad to "School" you!!!

 

Eventually, the teacher becomes... my bitch.

 

OOOhhh...I loveths it when you talk dirty!

 

9 days...

 

...and counting! then 7 more days...then, well you get the point!

 

who said anything about estock?

 

Perhaps TWO Mr2s. They are not even close to 3,100 lbs. Unless you're weighing them on Jupiter.

I really think they do. High 14s but still 14s.

Slow, perhaps. But dawg azz slow is a bit of an exaggeration. And when you go about turning the steering wheel while accelerating like most of us here, they are most certainly not slow.

Finally something I agree with!!!

 

for real guys answer my question. does it run 14.5 stock, this is the turbo model. maybe i should haev posted some where else.

 

Yeah, with a good driver, ideal track conditions, they will run 14.5...

 

Perhaps someone can do a search on the internet.

I'll try to run by my storage unit tonight and find the original Road & Track issue with the road test.

If it's a turbo in good mechanical condition, it should have no problem running mid-high 14.'s, IIRC.
