I was just wondering if this is true for any other MR2 owners. I try to like American cars, but there owners really turn me off with how cock headed they are. They will compare 427's to 2.0 turbo's as if its a fair comparison to begin with. Last night I ran into not the brightest crayons in the box, who would not stop hassling me for having an import. Calling my mr2 a peice of ____ (despite ford recently recalling 792,000 pickups just last week) and blah blah blah. I asked them if there all about the quarter, and whats fastest, than why not go out and get a 4000 dollar R6 that runs 10's from the factory? Afterall if this about what can go down the quarter the fastest and I cant think of one american anything that does 10's from the factory. They simply ignored that and said "oh my brothers,uncles,dad's formers roommate has a v8 that eats motorcycles". If your gonna swing from another racers nuts, than are they even worth my time?
Im not biased against american v8's, but people who like v8's and think nothing else compares is what causes me to hate them. And japans answer to the big block is the bike, not 1 american anything can do 9's from the factory like the suzuki hayabusa can.
Oh and by the way, the stock 91 MR2 turbo could smoke every stock American v8 in the same price range as the MR2 post gas crisis up til about 1993 for those that dont know (of course this is on stock boost, a simple boost controller and 4 more lb's of boost would still put it at the top) http://www.pr.streetracing.org/whats_new.html#Chevrolet
Any1 else have this problem with ignorant individuals like the ppl I ran into last night?
