mk2 rev1 n/a (g-ltd) vs mk3 roadster (uk)

[mikee66]

I have the mk2 and my missus has the mk3 and i'm just wondering what the outcome would be on the 1/4 mile?

Anyone actually been through this??

Scared of losing Mikee

I think its quite similar unless she has the SMT box in which case you should be quicker

A mk2 rev 1 or 2 NA would murder even the manual mk3, I'd have thought, there's nearly a whole second difference up to 60mph, so can't imaging the mk3 being able to make up the difference after that

No chance... A mk3 is definitely quicker off the line than a naturally aspirated mk2. Its the turbo ones I'm scared of...

Imcicentally, what 0-60 time are you using?

Toyota's very own 0-60 times

Manual mk2 rev1/2 NA is 7.2 seconds.
Manual mk3 roadster is 8 seconds.

Manual mk2 rev1/2 NA is 7.2 seconds.
Manual mk3 roadster is 8 seconds.

That explains it... My grandma could do an 8 second 0-60 in my mk3... Evo magazine tested a mk3 at 7.2 seconds. Others road testers have achieved similar numbers and some cars have achieved high 6's without to much difficulty...

Given that then, perhaps your grandma could get 6.5 seconds in an early mk2 ?

Basically, they'd be even. FWIW, from a rolling start a Mk1 NA and a Mk3 NA are absolutely even all the way to 110mph - and yes, this was on a track - Bruntingthorpe

from a rolling start a Mk1 NA and a Mk3 NA

Where did the mk1 come from?
