^Okay i gotta ask, do you still have all 7 cars in your sig? That's a NICE collection of cars.
yes, (my absolute favorite is the M Coupe).

The s2k is much more fun though in the twisties. Much more fun.

The STI is scary fast.

In a race to 100mph, I'd pick the STI to win all the time.

I'd bet on the M... I haven't lost to an Evo / STi yet! If the Sti has some mods then I agree with you Sti > 0-100

Wow, it must be nice to own 7 cars at one time.

Well I guess if your MR2 is relatively stock, then it has no chance against the STi. But I'd thought your 03 M3 would put up a pretty good fight, especially after 60mph. Unless your STi is modded. I have a turboback on mine so far, and I can keep up with M3s pretty much at all speeds under 120mph(will be getting something to fix that soon ) But from a dig forget it, they don't stand a chance.

ooops. I meant to say that a straight contest "just" between the STI and S2k only, the STI would win.

I would bet on the M as well. all the time.

Okay which M are we talking about here? Not the M coupe right?

And just to clarify. This is what I am trying to say.

M3>STi in 0-100. STi>M3 in 0-60.

STi(full exhaust)=M3 in 0-100.

You just reminded me that I do need to install the remaining mods on the MR2 to find out what would happen against an STI. It just has intake and exhaust at this point.

Regarding the spirit of the thread. We need to find documented races b/w the S2k and STI. This topic has me very interested now.....

The 02 M coupe has the same M3 engine (S54). It would make sense that it is faster than the M3. However, I have not read up on any races b/w an S54 M Coupe and an S54 M3.

This appears to make sense to me!

Yah I would think that the M coupe should be a hair faster too.

What mods are you going to put on the MR2? I think nothing short of a turbo upgrade is going to make them even. Or maybe catless DP/exhaut/MBC will do?

Z06-Killr ran Frans2k... Z06-Killr ran 13.4 @ 105 1/4 mile

Frans2k was S/C they were dead even from a roll, but the s2 would get ran out of the hole.
