I want a car that i can gradualy make into a 12 sec car and Ive liked the MR2 ever since i was a kid (Plus my friend has a 92 Eclipse GSX thats in the 12s so i want to give him a little competition :)) so I was wondering how much it would cost to get a MR2 into the 12's. .
Also, I was told the MR2 launches realy good for a RWD car, it can handle a lot of hp, it handles realy good, and it is very reliable, is this true?

Thanks

I forgot to add that i can do all the work myself so all the money can go streight into mods>.

To be well in the 12s you probably need at least 275 whp. To do that you'll probably need intake, exhaust, manual/electronic boost controller, better IC, and possibly bigger turbo. I would say $3000-$4000 should do it.

flip, if you check out my Web site ... go to Hyde and then "track history" you can see a complete list of everything I have done to keep advancing my times.

When properly driven, the MR2 can out launch many cars ~ including AWDs.

thanks that was very helpfull. about how much have you spent on hyde sofar?

That's a hard question to answer ... the actual number would be really skewed because of having 3 full sets of rims & tires (that's a huge $$ right there).

That and I have been very fortunate that my sponsors have picked up some healthy bills for me.

If I had to guess, there was between $6K-$9K of power mods on Hyde as of last season. After this winter, it will be more like $9K - $12K.
