Im beginning to think these MR2s are slow having a pop at the little sports cars big brothers all the time.

It seems if you can hear an external wastegate on a supra, it going to be 600+ bhp and the momentum they can generate at speed cant be matched by many cars on the road
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
!
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
So here I am tootling along, I find a silver Supra in view right up my Jackson, for a short time, I held back, not to be rushed
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
( getting on a bit now
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
> both me and the car
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

)

.

.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I even pulled over to let him past
he follows me in
I could make out a roll cage in view with a clear view of a front mounted intercooler
Still there and driving relatively closely, I thought hes messing with the wrong MR2
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I then moved back on the outside lane and stuck it in 4th with the turbo starting to spool, boost controller set to 1.2 bar
I find him pinned to the rear bumper.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Planted the throttle and pulled some 3 car lengths.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
into 5th.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
then he rapidly reels me in
we get caught up in some traffic
thought
okay
wrong gear, its got a bit more power than your normal Supra
stuck the boost controller to 1.6 bar and ruthlessly nailed it after the car moved over in 3rd
catch me if you can
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
!! 4 car lengths out of it
into 4th
all the way to 8K
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
@ 1.6 bar, into 5th cars pulling like a train
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
then bl00dy hell
this thing just starting pulling on me
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
and pulls right up along side me
and past
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Get caught up in traffic again
round 3
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
This time Im behind.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I see a puff of smoke as the rear squats, mid range cant be matched by the Supra and I find myself backing off, pulls on the inside lane.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
but by then.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
too late, the big turbo on the Supra has spooled and left trailing in the smoke.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Rapid rapid machine
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Eventually caught up with him side by side
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
( he must of ran out of fuel or sommat
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
!!!
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
) to give him a little acknowledgement.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
and nothing
didnt look over, no emotion, not even a grin
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
!! Hes either a very shy man or a real ignorant one
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
!!
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Couple of facts
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
> Mine at 1.6 bar usually is pulling between 450
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
> 500bhp in a 1300kg body
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
( depends what Ive eaten the night before
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
!
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
, so its not the slowest
.what Ive failed to mention is this very car I saw a film clip of it 2 weeks before on a set of rollers producing a genuine
wait for it
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
1625 bhp
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
**Sarcasm**!!
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Turbo would start to spool at 7000 rpm.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I dont know much else about it, but can find out
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
( pump gas
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
/ nitrous.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I dont know
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I do know he must only have a 2K power band which must be like the Star Trek Enterprise going into warp drive
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
!!
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I dont believe the full 1600 bhp was/can be used on the road
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
( unless he wants to go back in time
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
) as it didnt pull on mine for something 3x more powerful.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Nevertheless, definitely a long going projects thats finally come together.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Youll probably start seeing this at dragways in the future cleaning up as its a great straightline tool.
