Without upgrading anything, all you can work on is your launch and your shifts (speed and at what rpm you are shifting).
Typical turbo MR2s hit 1.9-2.1s in the 60'.
I would not expect much better than that with sucha skinny tire.

In an ideal world you would have a set of lightweight wheels with drag radials mounted on them for drag racing.

what do u recommend i get as for tires and wheels. and someone told me that i should put both of the spare tires that i have on the front to save weight. just to confirm this for there sake. is that or is that not safe. they are not made to go fast are they?
