i am going to race an 88 mr2 this friday and the guy keeps saying that he gets a 15 flat in the 1/2 mile. He said he got it by droping his exhuast and with nitto tires. According to him his car weights 2200 with 145 hp and 117000 miles. I have a 93 240sx with an injen intake. Now we are gonna keep the race street legal so he will keep his exhuast on with street tires. I am a pretty quick shifter and usually in a race i shift around 6500. Do you guys think i can beat him and any tips will also help?

That Weight number on the MR2 Seems a Little Low, i was under the impression that they were more along the lines of like 2450 or so, but i could be thinking of a Different body style, so i dunno, them lil MR2's are Pretty damn Fast, got a friend that had a 90 something one, had all the Yoda Trim and stuff, top model or something, it was Pretty damn Quick, My old Eclipse Would Beat him, but only Just, so i dunno, if your Stock it will Prolly Be Close to a I doubt it.

Well if he runs a 15 in the 1/2 mile then you will. BTW did you mean 1/4mile? LOL

It depends on what model his mr2 is.  I can't remember when they started making the Supercharged model (I *think* it was 88).  If he's got the n/a model, and all he's done is drop his exhaust then there is no way he's running a 15 flat.

The mkII (90 - 95) mr2 runs low-mid 16's and an 85 would have less power stock.  So either he's feeding you a load of B.S about his times or his mods.  If he's stock and you've got intake, he's got no chance.

I believe that if he has 145 he's got the supercharged mr2 engine. You can read up on the competition here http://www.mr2.com/

Good luck &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

If he's supercharged, you won't beat him.
If he's not supercharged, you should beat him if you're a better driver.

Mr2's have less HP, but less weight too.

Did no one else pick this up? haha I found it quite funny. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> If he ran 15 in the 1/2 mile, he would RAPE YOU!!

Also, since when has there been such thing as "street legal" street racing? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sigh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp;... &nbsp;if he does have the rare 4AGZE supercharged engine, then I would put my money on him.
