My MR2 ran a best of a 15.9 @ 82mph. It's only performance modifications are a K&N drop-in and ditching the muffler.
In reality, he should put at least a car length on you at the launch, and then you'll slowly close up the gap from there."Never run out of real estate, traction & ideas at the same time"

yeah, if you do that, the MR2 should still get an advantage through 1st and possibly 2nd.
To launch a NA MR2, even on the street, you basically drop the clutch somewhere upwards of 3500 rpm."Never run out of real estate, traction & ideas at the same time"

From what i've read a stock NA MR2 should run a mid/low 16... i'm gonna agree with Jesse that if you'd both launched from a stop the MR2 would have jumped ahead for a few seconds._________________________________

8.5 0-60 for the N/A model. A DOHC protege should be a bit under that with a good driver.Last edited by Natural; 01-13-2005, 11:30 AM.

A stock N/A model is capable of high 15s. I know, I have one, and it runs a high 15. A stock Protege isn't...
