Yeah... But, how much does a TII put down stock?

If you really want to know who will win, go out and collect some "data"...

Stock mr2 turbos run 14.7 to 14.8ish... Stock TII is 15.2. HP isn't everything!

mr2 turbos had 200HP stock. And weigh in at only 2657 lbs. And have a MR drivetrain. I think those are several advantages they have over the FC.

I dunno where you're getting 2657 lbs from, but stock mr2 turbo's weighed in at over 2800 pounds. Maybe you're talking about the n/a mr2's??

Frpm my experience, MR2s are overrated. One of my friends MR2 had nearly the same mods as my 7, and he said that he wish his car was as fast as mine, and another MR2 owning friend put 10K into his car and ran a 13.2..

it will be a good race but those damn toyota engines can handle dumb amounts of boost. If he has traction I think 15lbs is going to walk you, without missing shifts and all the other things that can happen while racing. Give it a shot

Not anywhere on the internet I've seen. I've seen countless times it quoted as 15.2 for s4 and 15.0 to 15.1 for s5.

I think the "stock" 1320 numbers are just a guide line. Most of us have better tires than they tested the car with way back then so the numbers could go up or down.

14.8-14.9 is about average, i believe the original 15.2 was underrated.

MR2 will outlaunch you over and over...
the superior traction on the rear allows for a low 60ft - hence the superior ET
the actual power should be similiar between a stock mr2 and t2....
stock per stock.... from a 40ish mph roll, the T2 should shine.

I couldn't agree more.

All the threads about "how fast is my car" or "how much power will this make" or "can i beat this car?!" get really ******* old.

I only posted because you did. The intention of my point was more that a couple of tenths isn't a big deal.
