Oh and with the wrx, if he didnt have awd and/or a turbo i would have passed him. I was actually gaining on him and I was going faster at the 8th mile, by 2 mph. But he stayed ahead because he had a much better 1st gear roll out, and launching skill lol. But whatever it comes down too, he beat me anyway. haha.

thanks for the comments. I wasnt dissapointed, I mean its only a 130 hp car, so i dont think it did bad. I know i could get into the 14s, 3 or 4 magazines did, I launched terrible both times. But Im getting rid of the car soon anyways....trading it in on a trans am or FD rx7, whichever i can find and like a lot. Or im just going to sell it and stick with my supra like old days.

I have driven an 02' Spyder and it felt strong but not what I would call fast. Bolt-ons don't do much for the 1ZZ, if you want to win at the strip you're going to have to go forced induction or 2ZZ swap from a pre-02' GT-S since the fuel cut was higher than later models. I doubt you will break 15's without some serious mods...those cars have never been about straight line though, just go hit up some corners and you'll leave most cars in the dust.

Cool vid mann not ragging on your car at all but a wrx would kill an MR2 spyder no matter the driver, unless of course a real newbie, like first time racer, was in the wrx ..

If I ever learn how to drive, and change my rear tires, Im confident I can get that car to do a 14.9!!
