what are the specs on the Toyota MR2

the one i had a race with had a twin exhaust, standard item, and it wasnt the new model

Well, it could be a Jap spec turbo model as there are a few kicking about in the UK and they have a twin exit zorst as standard.

A guy near me has one and they are quick!

Ive ridden in a Jap-spec turbod MR2 on a trackday at Castle Combe.

Its quick. The driver was one of my kart-racing colleagues, and he was moving on.

Funny thing was, it was actually quite boring. The thing was on rails, we COULDNT get the back end out, no matter how it was driven or what we did to the suspension. I could quite easily sit in the passenger seat with a video camera on my shoulder (stupid I know, but it seemed like a good idea at the time) and give a running commentary while we blitzed absolutely everything.

Never been in a non-turbo version, but the turbo version would be well worth having, in my humble opinion.

i think the normal phase 2 2.0 gti-16 is 167bhp

make sure its the late spec... the earlier Mk2 Mr2s have a tendency to be crap in the handling department... the late Mk2s are an awesome tool.
