Default blew away an mr2

I ran with an mr2 today on the parkway and it was no match for the s, after a
few wot prances in 5 th gear and shifting into sixth at 110, it was over. I always
liked the waythose mr2 look but iguess they have no high end. A porsche cabriolet
also played for a short while but he gave up early. The s has so much balls and never ceases to amaze me. It keeps going and going, perhaps they should use it in an energizer battery commercial. Happy v-tecing!

You must have driven some really slow cars before the S2000.

good kill on the MR2.....little doubtful about the Porsche though. more than likely it was a typical Cab owner, one with a giant windscreen and the windows up all the time....an 996 body carrera will take an S pretty easily.

Nice kill... I have raced mr2's that I tie or barely win/loose to in a drag race, but the same cars I can take on the freeway, there top end isnt that great. One owner says when he runs too much that his turbo's get hot or heat soak, something along those lines.

Was it an early 80s MR2? a 90s MR2? A 1991 Turbo MR2? A New Model MR2?

There are so many!

The turbos run something like 240 horse though, it would probably be close with one of those.

No, not really, but let's review what is going on here:

Poster has been here 17 days.
Poster is posting in the street encounters area and insinuating that his S2000 is faster than a 911
Poster believes the S2000 has "balls" and is very fast
Poster for whatever retarded reason decided on fast and furious as his member name.

How can anyone with a brain not find humor in picking on him?

Despite my stock S being scary fast the BPU deuce always crushes me, every time, any speed.

I seriously doubt it was a 91-95 MR2-T, from the sounds it was a MKI, or MKII NA model. The newer ones dont really count IMO, theyre turds.
