86 mr2 vs. 86 FC
 
i have an 86 N/A and my buddy has an 86 mr2 N/A. He seems to think that his car will beat mine but we can't race because my car isn't inspected right now. Have any of you guys with gen 2's raced any mr2's. What should i expect when the time comes and which car should win. both are pretty much stock with minor intake and exhaust mods. thanks

from what I know the N/A MR2s are pretty slow. You should win.

Travisty 04-25-04 07:27 PM

you'll stomp a big one into him. Unless hes a 3rd gen mr2 your fine. which he's not!

MR.2 will get a nice lil ass whoopin!!!:spank:

RX7WEEE 04-26-04 10:10 AM

What about the corners? Who do think would win on that....

ajsuper7 04-26-04 04:19 PM

i dont know any comparos between the early mr2's and 7's, i bet the mr2 is a quick lil mother in the twisties so you might be behind on that but you should have plenty of power over him. driver skill is much more nessesary in conering anyways so it will prolly come down to who can drive their car faster. take your cats off and he'll be seeing nothing but taillights and flames.

Travisty 04-26-04 05:59 PM

I'd say he'd more often then not take you in the corner, him being rear and rear. But I guess you'll have to find out yourself

JEC-31 04-26-04 07:33 PM

Don't forget cornering is approx. 75% driver, 20% tires, and then suspension quality/tuning, lastly engine/drive configuration. So which driver has auto-x trophies and sticky tires?

But in the good ol' fashioned drag the 13B will smoke the little 4-putter.

the 86 mr2 comes with a 4ag motor which is the same motor in the 86 corolla gts. my friend has a ae86 (86corolla gts) n it was runnin mid 18s... the mr2 is known to be an ass happy car so unless the driver realy feels the car n knows how to prevent/control oversteer, u should win wit ease

I beg to differ.. I own an 86 mr2.. and it sticks to the ground.. Its very stable coming into turns and out of turns... Its hard to slide those cars.. and they only weigh 2200-2300 lbs...

I also owned a Mk1 mr2 na, they run a 16.2 stock quarter when tested by spc. However, I would not underestimate this car, it is insane on a launch. I smoked a 1994 maxima, with intake and exhaust up to 100 with my mr2, I also beat a tibouron V6, up to 80

SirRX7 04-29-04 12:23 PM

Moving to 2nd Gen specific.


- All threads that ask about an outcome of a race such as "FD vs. Supra" that actually didn't happen are to be placed in that generations specific section if it involves an RX-7, all other "vs." threads that don't involve an RX-7 (and ask about the outcome of a race) should be in the General Automotive section. The kills section is just for kill stories, not for performance questions. We will stop moving threads and just delete them from now on. So if you are wondering why the thread you just posted isn't there anymore, you now know why.

frestylereaction 04-29-04 12:35 PM

the mr2 no doubt.....

115 hp at 2200 lb with a MR setup , all traction, pulls hard through the gears for the power it has

vs

140 at 2700 lb with a crappy driveline on a FR setup, itll spin a bit, really no acceleration here either

Dltreezan 04-29-04 12:50 PM

i choose my rex over my 91 Mk2 anyday, and that is my 86 base over my 91 mk2 with full leather and beautiful the rex still pulls better.

Dan H 04-29-04 03:09 PM

Hmm...I still want to buy an MR2 as a second car. They're so fun to drive through the turns (even more than my FC)

3RotorRocket 04-29-04 03:41 PM

You should win.

I beat a Turbo MR2 with my Turbo II stock to stock.

Good luck!

all 4 of those engines and cars are SOOOOO DIFFERENT that you beating an mr2 with your TII doesnt matter

were talking about an AW11 MR2 NA vs an FC 86 Base NA RX7

the turbo SW20 MR2 and an FC s5 turbo are two totally different machines, engine, drivetrain, and rear end, pretty much everything

theres no reason you winning vs the mr2 hsould have any matter in this guys race vs the mki na

jon88se 04-29-04 03:52 PM

Stock to stock would be a good fight...toss a full intake and exhaust on your NA FC (a good power jump) and it's bye bye MR2 ;) People give the 1st gen MR2's a lot of flack but I've always loved them...I actually looked at one before buying the RX-7!! It was black and had brand new paint and a rebuilt motor. I didn't get it bc the motor was rebuilt by the owner and I wasn't confident enough in his work...still the car drove well and looked good. You HAVE to love those millenium falcon lookin seats hehe

Your totaly right mike but I was figuring since a stock TII could beat a stock MR2 Turbo then a stock 86 N/A RX7 vs. a stock 86 N/A MR2 then the outcome would be somewhat similar.

Unless the MKI is Supercharged you shouldnt have a problem...

Oh and from my experience (and #'s) the FC and MKII MR2 Turbo are a drivers race, they have similar #'s.

d0 Luck 04-29-04 04:47 PM

stock 6 port n/a FC's are slow on the top end... they don't have the necessary juice to keep up.. their powerband is limited round 6.5k

not hearsay, as i drive my friend's stock s4 n/a most of the time

if you really wanna win, don't redline it.. shift round 6-6.5k.. past that mark.. it's ho-hum.. no fun

rotoboy20 04-29-04 08:22 PM

sure its ho hum with stock components, let the engine inhale and exhale with some simple mods and itll pull right up into the red with no problem and befor you even realize it you hear that annoying little buzzer.
