Re: Another important step in recording the MR2's History

150mph seems a bit well.....easy. I mean, my mate has a rev 3 turbo and we've had it doing 160mph.

However, for a good car that has been imported to the UK, you need look no further than this video:

It was taken at the Japanese Auto Extravaganza. The car is a special street racer with a massive turbo and intercooler. The car has been Rolling Roaded at over 600bhp from what I understand, but sadly on this attempt it blew a fuel pipe and then on the second run, it had a massive misfire on boost, probably due to the car being mapped for a different grade of fuel when it was mapped in Japan. On the second run it got a measly 350bhp.

Just listen to the tinny turbo whistle as it winds up.

Was awesome to see in the flesh.
