You don't really have a chance. Mr. Two's will own an MSP. Actually, come ot think of it, I've driven my buddies 91 Converted Turbo MR2 quite a few times. Definetly a bit quicker than the MSP.

They actually are a lot faster than people think. A lot faster. Heh. We converted a 91 to the turbo motor last winter. A few upgrades with it, apex downpipe exhaust, apex'i s-afc, etc etc..Enough to suspension mods to make your head spin. But its an awesome car. I was actually considering buying it for myself, but winter won't allow it. So, hopefully it's a P5 for me.
Check out this MR2.

Actually MR2 turbo's are pretty heavy, especially the t-top version the hardtop version only weighs 2600lbs and the t-top version weighs in at 2800lbs it's because of the reinforced frame, plus all the coolant and a/c lines that goes from front to back. it's almost as heavy as the msp!
Yes and all that wieght over the rear wheels, mid/rear engine=traction like a MOFO! Well compared to FWD anywaymister2 said:Actually MR2 turbo's are pretty heavy, especially the t-top version the hardtop version only weighs 2600lbs and the t-top version weighs in at 2800lbs it's because of the reinforced frame, plus all the coolant and a/c lines that goes from front to back. it's almost as heavy as the msp!
I have a friend at work who owns one, a non turbo, but nice. He wants to buy a J-SPEC turbo rear clip and install the drivetrain in his N/A.

fast but too small for me..
My mum has an 89 supercharged. Even that stock for stock would be a close race. the older models were a lot lighter, and 165hp stock revving to 7500+ (no idea on torque) it's a quick as hell car. Can't drive one after the other because it's in Vancouver and I'm not ... but from memory it would be very close.
Edit: that's in a straight line. We'd kill it in the twisties.

friend had an old 89 supercharged mr 2...i had a 92 lude si (h23a)...i could keep near him...he'd have a length on my by 40-50 then he'd slowly pull away...when we'd road race them i couldn't stay with him in the corners or under braking as his car so much lighter than mine (they are ~2000lbs while my lude was 2800lbs)...good car but small...great little weekend racer and car for lazy saturday drives through the mountains
