5sfe Celica VS 5sfe Mr2 Options

[boosted_K2]

because over .5 seconds can be EASILY gained or lost depending on driver, track conditions, track, and any given run... thats the whole reason drag racing is even a sport. all that rating stuff is just baseline, benchmark stuff... imo if two cars are within .75 seconds they are comparible on any given day with amature drivers

I understand that, but I was hoping for a compilation of factory specs. When a car comes from the factory, they usually say "buy our car, because it does 0-60 in 5 seconds.

0-60 yes the mr2 will win, probably even 1/4 mile....top speed however is where the mr2's crappy airo package screws it up so bad that toyota put a limit in the celica ecu to make it slower.

I find it interesting that you criticize the way Manny answered your question when you continually bash people in your posts. Thats hypocritical.

Is this about the kid wanting to buy a stolen car? I usually only "bash" when it's really stupid conversation, and that conversation yesterday was by far the most extreme occasion where I have bashed.

That kid's question deserved to be bashed, it's common knowledge that what he was trying to do with his buddy is illegal. The question of the mr-2s 0-60 or quarter mile times, is not common knowledge because it's difficult to sometimes find accurate 0-60 times. I admitted that my info was inaccurate and asked for an accurate site for 0-60 times. I just feel some things are stupid questions, I answer questions like these sometimes in a mean way and if my question was stupid, I would have no problem with Manny giving me a reply typically reserved for n00bs.

Yea, that one. And, the one about Orville hitting the wall and suing his landlord. Also, the one about me posting an update that I was taking my car to get the front end done. There are a number of times where you are simply mean spirited. Don't get me wrong, I don't think we should have to sugar coat things or refrain from telling people about the search feature when a question is asked that is easily answerable by searching. Its best to just say: "Search on the word '_____' in the '_______' forum", rather than: "You are a freaking idiot for asking this question. Let me get this straight, you don't know what a 3sgte is????"

Now, I have said time and time again that people should not get their feelings hurt because something some a$$hole says to them over the internet, however, there would be less of that whining if people like you would just go a little easier when people ask something that YOU think is stupid. Manny (presure2) obviously thought your post was stupid but he didn't resort to namecalling or demeaning behavior. Perhaps his post may have brought home how stupid your question was and thats why it bothered you.

Also, I think its worse to be harsh to a noob than it is to a more senior member. The other day Dr. Tweak said something to me like "better do your research boy" when we were debating something. Was it offensive? You can decide that but it didn't bother me because (1) I have been around and know how people are on here and let the stuff role off my back; and (2) I knew he was wrong so it didn't matter (j/k Tweak).

Anyway, thats my $.02. Take it for what its worth - admittedly, not much.

I took a stock n/a MR2 from a 50mph-100 roll, back in the day

[My2Celi]

well we ran again today and this time i was driving the mr2. i like the feel of it, i did try to video it but my v3 black phone fail to saved it. i ran it behind Fry's, my work place. The security guys told me to stop and go home. O well i have both my dream cars.

Ok, your post was months ago, and it was you telling us you were going to do your project. I can't remember what I said, but if it was offensive enough for you to keep it pent up like this, I apologize.

Orvillescelica RAN HIS CAR INTO A WALL!!! I like the guy, he's a great member, but you should still be able to know where you can and squeeze your car. If I can't park between two cars, I don't park there. He should have told his landlord. "hey, that spot looks to small."

The guy last night wanted to buy a stolen car!!!

I never tell people they're idiots for questions such as What's a 3sgte. Two instances where I've bashed people

one of them ran into a wall, the other tried to buy a car his friend was gonna steal.

Sorry Orville, I don't mean to re-open this, and I'm sorry if I insulted you by telling you "you were the tard in the situation."

[Kwanza26]

People are stupid... just be tactful about your approach... like me sometimes...

[jgreening]

no apology necessary. I didn't cry about it and it didn't hurt my feelings. I believe in being direct and in some ways, I find your posts refreshing because you say what is on your mind. However, its easy to be direct without being a d1ck.

Isn't it ironic that I am taking this side of the debate when so many people have said I was being a d1ck when I answered a question directly? Oh well - just a friendly suggestion. Take it or ignore it - no big deal. I don't feel too sorry for the cry babies.

[jayi12-15psi]

I like what you said kwanza, because I used to think you were a dick, but I can level with you on most things now.

Guys like us tend to get really pissed off at people not using common sense. Sometimes I feel like this board is way to nice about some things, I understand that it's a family board and I try to respect it, but sometimes I can't control myself.

Sorry, I just think I fit into this community as the asshole that keeps everyone from going into la la land.

If anyone is ever bothered by my posts, pm me, and even if I don't agree with you there's a good chance I'll apologize.

0-60 yes the mr2 will win, probably even 1/4 mile....top speed however is where the mr2's crappy airo package screws it up so bad that toyota put a limit in the celica ecu to make it slower.

what are you talking about?!?!?! the MR2 has an extremely low drag coefficient... it was one of the selling points in the advertising they were doing for the vehicle, it was comparable to the F355 ferraris which was one of the reasons the MR2 was coined the "baby ferrari".


and to everyone else quit bitching, stay on the thread topic, start a new one in OT, or take it off the forums.

yeah really he made it sound like the MR2 is like driving a brick wall. And limiter in the Celica? My car goes its fastest at redline in 5th gear, if that's electronic limiting then my car must be capable of higher RPMs. A 5sfe MR2 would be close to the same top speed because it's the same engine and if I remember correctly the NA had the same gearing.
