Default 120mph fun

I encountered a turbo MR2 today. (i believe it was turbo, no vents over the engine hood which means it's turbo??) Well regardless, he passed me in a 45 and i was doin 60. So I let him go by and the next straight shot i got next to him at 75, dropped and went. he pulled hard, but by 120mph he was well behind. fun fun fun.

good kill, ive never raced a MR2 like that before. Usually i dont mess with turbo cars. If i had no choice, i'd go for it, but i pray to not get caught with a supped up one at a light.

I dont think there are a lot of souped up cars around my area. Wisconsin isn't really a "huge" import state. I mean, I'll race people who wanna race, and if I lose, I lose. Then points to the other man. As for our interesting speeds, yes... at least there wasn't a cop around to agree with our "interesting" speeds.

Hey, Str8 6, how do you like the HKS hiper exhaust? Any hp gain? Is it too loud??

The way you tell an MR2 Turbo is the engine cover is raised about an inch or so above the surrounding body panels instead of sitting flush with the surrounding body panels as in the non turbo version.
