I would hope a MR2 would take down a prelude haha

Prepare for disappointment, lol.

You'd be surprised, very similar p/w ratio. He was pulling on me at the end, I just launched a hell of a lot harder.

Yep, beat him fair and square too. This outing did cement my desire for more power, though. Good motivation.

I need to get to a strip sometime, sadly all the local tracks are 1/8.

It was a bit of a drive, about 70 miles, but it wasn't too bad on gasoline. I would go anyways, 1/8 mile are fun too, and a lot easier to upset better cars on.

Is yours a turbo MR2?

Reigntastic > offroadkarter

Yes, stock ct26

What times did you run? I really know nothing about the cars in the picture.

offroadkarter > Reigntastic
05/26/2014 at 21:06

what was your best run of the day?

Reigntastic > Jedidiah
05/26/2014 at 21:08

I ran pretty slowly, I didn't drop the clutch at a high enough rpm to launch well; Mid 15, with a .3s reaction time.

Reigntastic > offroadkarter

This run, 15.64 with a .3 reaction. My first time taking the car on the drag strip though, so it was all kind of new to me.

I bet you'll be back though

That's not too bad. It's fairly normal for most 4 cyl cars from that era. I'm curious about what the turbo or supercharged mr2s run.

Reigntastic > offroadkarter

To be honest I am more excited for the upcoming autocross events.

Reigntastic > Jedidiah
05/26/2014 at 21:23

It is a Turbo, I just ran slowly. Supposedly I should be able to run into the 14s.

Jedidiah > Reigntastic
05/26/2014 at 21:29

I haven't taken this particular Cutlass to a strip but I always ran slow because I never liked to launch very hard.

i believe that's called y 60ft times

Reigntastic > Jedidiah
05/26/2014 at 23:14

I didn't want to beat on my transmission too hard, so I only ran 5 times. Once it's built I'll have more confidence in it, but I had to drive it home afterwards too.

Reigntastic > unpredictable_swerve
05/26/2014 at 23:16

I ran a 2.4 for my best 60ft time.
