Mr2 vs M3
- Thread starter soff
- Start date
come end of december.. i'd seriously need a favour from ya'all... i need to test with an MR2... but... using my heavy ass-ed beemer... straight line... 400meter... can ah...not for dignity not for money nor pussy.. just out of curiousity...
BLaCkHoWLiNG, i volunteer, like i said i like benchmarking . Unless u feel my car too stock lah...
Hey all, I know u guys settled already..but just my 2cents.. from being a drag slut here :p
I dont think a stock/std SW20 turbo can pull away from a E46 M3 that easily if they both giving it a good go. However with some mods ie. ECU, exhaust and more boost (say about 13psi), it will. I tried this against a E36 M3 3.2 ..so the newer E46 is just slightly faster.
Around the track, you will find that it might be easier to steer the BM comfortably..but over a few laps, the tyres and brakes will fade quicker than the SW20 ..purely bcos of the weight.
Now then, this was in a fairly cool climate..say about 23 deg. and when compare with KL where temps are in the 30s, i think the turbo will suffer more from the heat than an NA.
Whereas drags with the Supras, check this thread:
www.MR2.org.au - Heathcote Drags with Supra Club Vic ***RESULTS***
But you MR2 drivers out there know that the MR's launches is where its at :)
Similar to an All wheel drive but not quite lol
Wished I was back in KL to join you guys for TT :)

Lol..I think I will have to fall in same category of all show and no go...hehe

Dont know if my clutch can take the abuse though...hehe

wah... see, MR2s are faster than Supras as stated in the link GTII has posted... ... but i didnt know the Supras down under were that slow... 13.6..
lol..hey fren.. i wouldnt say 'faster than' by itself .. cos Supras are bloody fast once they wind up! The times here are only for the quarter mile..and we know that Supras are damn difficult to launch bcos of traction probs.. more so here where temp is cooler and road surface not as harsh.
My fren has a 287rwkw Supra TT (also a Msian downunder)..but he has probs cracking the low 12s :(
I thought this battle was resolved long time ago... but if theres still debate I shall whip out my meager 110BHP machine to settle any dispute with anyone :ridinghorse:
