i doubt it to these cars are hard to make fast. they pop head gaskets like it's there job.

 

i heard..this guy..had money in his a lot...ask my boy toda..he was on the crew with him.. maybe a high a 11..but i know it was in the 11's..t

 

not trying to start anything, but be careful. you dont know who youre talking to.


and i think i know what this thread is about....

 

Forgive me for my skepticism. It's actually my JOB to know who has the fast MR2s, and the potential they have. I fly around the country installing engine management systems in primarily MR2s and Supras, and try to keep my customers on top of things on who is making the most power, has the best ET, etc.

I don't mind if folks are faster, but the only fast MR2s I know of in the area near Capitol Raceway are a white one (Greddy TD06...low 300s at the wheels) and Mike Ko's red one (Greddy T67.......12.37 best time).The white one is owned by an older fellow, and the motor work was done at Abacus down here.

There IS another high powered white car up near there owned by a fellow named Tom Ross Jr. Unfortunately for him, his 2nd gear synchro is bad, so he runs low 13s at 119 mph.

MR2s are SO rare, that when a fast one comes out of the woodwork, most of the MR2 community hears about it. Also, and MR2 with good grip and powerful enough to run mid-low 11s snaps axles on almost every other pass. Take a look at the MR2 1/4 mile registry:

Note how many 11 second MR2s are in there compared to all the 12 second ones. It's a sad truth that the MR2 community is NOT that fast in comparison to, say, the DSM community. Technological breakthroughs have been slow in coming, and drag racing has been frowned upon by the community as a whole for as long as I can remember.

By the way, the thread starter was just pulling your collective chain. His car is actually pretty slow, in comparison.

 

im talkin about an mr2 from around 96-97 thats the last time i saw it..im very sure the owner sold it..well i was told it was sold back in 2000..but i went to a shidosa meeting then and he claimed a 11's..and that he was one of the first in the area to hit that..he was pushing high 300's hp..but he ran that at capitol, which is a downhill track and is a faster time than mir

 

Cool, I was in the MR2 world back in 95, when I bought my first MR2. Did you see the car run in person?

What color was the car?

What turbo? What engine management?

Any bozo can claim a number, just curious as to why I missed a somewhat local 11 second MR2. The only cars I knew of that had run 11s back then were Kali Nahuaku, and Brad Bedell.

The only 10 sec car out of Japan was Harney down in Antigua.
