12 sec 1/4 mile MR2 Turbo?
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>. Last edited by flip888; 03-03-2005 at 05:37 AM.

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.

Re: 12 sec 1/4 mile MR2 Turbo?
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.
