Looks can be deceiving. They look lighter than they are. Since they are T-Tops, they have extra reinforcements. Kinda like a convertable. Only the non turbo models came available without T-Tops. Curb weight is around 2880lbs on the turbo model, and about 2650lbs on the non turbo non t-top model. Stock HP for the US spec Mr2 is 200hp and 168lb ft tq, so NO they dont do 0-60 in 5 seconds stock, and NO they wouldn't KILL a H22 Prelude (but it would win). Back when I had my 1G AWD, I test drove a lightly modded MR2 Turbo. My car had similar mods, but mine was definately faster. I'm not talking out of the hole either, I'm talking about from a roll where traction is equal. Don't get me wrong, the MR2 is a bad ass car with tons of potential, but it is often overhyped. Now the JDM MR2 turbo is a different story. 245hp stock ???lb ft tq, LSD, closer ratio tranny, etc. Those are the ones that pull low 14's/high 13's straight out of the factory. Every other country gets the good ****...


oh, and stock for stock, a MR2 turbo DEFINATELY WONT KILL our DSMs. The US spec MR2 turbos run low 15's stock, so it depends on who is driving

yeah the Mr2 is a good run for the Eclipse stock and modded once both cars are modded as well.. my friend runs 12.9s in his..

correction the US spec MR2 turbos only have 142lb ft tq....

Actually they have 200hp@6000rpm and 200tq@3200rpm. They weigh 2,888 so with equally good drivers a stock MR2 turbo will beat a stock GSX and GS-T in all areas as in from a stop, roll, corning, and braking etc. The GSX however will have a slightly faster 60ft. but the MR2 will reel it in fast IMHO.

I like the FWD on the GS-T. AWD would be great wit high end mods but wit the right driver and the same high end mods the GS-T will pull.
