We have heard of MR2 going up against Murcielago (iexit where are you?), Ferrari 460, F355 on KL roads but I always wondered how it will fare against M3.....
I had a short spat with an M3. I was driving leisurely on the high speed lane at less than 2800 rpm on the Kesas highway when suddenly a M3 sticks on my rear view mirror, he must have come from afar and speeded on seeing a fellow sportscar. Since I am alone and he is alone, it was a hot day tyres felt very sticky, what the heck, I stepped on the accelerator, the turbine started to spool, I was not even at full boost yet but started to pull away from him. I can see behind the black tinted glass and black car, he is dead serious and all his electronics are in play and on full alert. Obviously in no time he caught up with me again. I have to signal out as my exit is coming, naturally I missed my exit as I was flying over undulations, his stick to the road like a rock (again all the traction controls AYC, YAWs blah blah...) I let him through and did not resume our spat but was surprised that a 20 year old stock standard car can pull away from an M3 and this was the real deal M3 (Z monster may know him!!!), big fat tires, 380bhp on wheel, latest electric gizmos and all, obviously in the long run I could not keep up but now I know given a flat & straight road, a MR2 can out accelerate a M3, 350Z.....what's next.
Here's an inspiration to help lil piggy and Chris decide, what a 1.1 bar MR2 can do!!!!
