mr2 spyder

HRPhtownSI · 05-22-2006, 01:20 AM

how well do you think the SI will fare against the mr2 spyder? with 197 v 138 hp but keep in mind the mr2 is a good 700lbs lighter..with the SI being around 2800lbs and the mr2 2100lbs..

Power to weight ratio, the Si is better. The Si lugs around about 14.604 lbs. per horsepower while the Spyder lugs around about 15.217 lbs. per hosepower. Unless the Spyder has tons of torque, Si probably pulls better off the line and definitely quicker in the 1/4.

haha yea i took a firebird 3.8l v6 by like 2+ cars and i had a passenger while he was alone and now just waiting for the mr2 to finally come out so i can show him what the SI can do

MR2 spyder has LOW hp.. but is no DOG by any means! I HONESTLY think the spyder takes the SI. I Used to own a MR2 spyder... THE FASTEST CAR I EVER OWNED UNDER 150 PONIES....

Funkster · 05-23-2006, 12:21 PM

Well, the new Spyders are not bullets by any means at all. They are leading the weight category at 2,195 Lbs. though.

You are looking at a car that has a 0-60 of a little less than 7 seconds and a total quarter mile time of about 15.5 seconds. As long as you get a good launch and arent a failure at shifting you will take it by a decent amount. I'll run ya in my deuce if ya want though.

HRPhtownSI · 05-23-2006, 01:18 PM

haha yea we started from a launch and i took him by about 3+ cars when we shut down around 80..both times..

i also had a 200lb passenger and he was alone haha...

vicSi · 05-23-2006, 03:41 PM

HRPhtownSI · 05-23-2006, 05:41 PM

hey funkster i love mr2 second gen, all my friends have them, i'm jealous of them sometimes. What do you like driving better the Si or mr2?

Funkster · 05-24-2006, 12:22 PM

I actually don't have my Si yet, I am probably going to order it sometime next week. However, of the time I have spent in the Si I love it. I feel bad comparing the two cars but that is because my MR2 is just superior because it has a fair amount invested in it. As far as a snappy little car and daily driving the Si is the winner, but at least for now my MR2 is the speed demon.

dafdemon · 07-07-2006, 02:13 PM

Being that i have both mr2 spyder and a 06 civic si i can gurantee the vtec will squash that spyders ass straight line but on the track you stand no chance the spyder handles like a go kart plus its rwd

Eric'sFG2 · 07-09-2006, 07:47 PM

the new mr2 sypder an Si could take, but what about the old good mr2's that had a turbo? I think they beat an Si

OHSiGuy · 07-09-2006, 08:34 PM

I had a '91 MR2 (non-turbo). If I remember, I think it was rated at 135hp. The car was a blast...torquey as hell. Not as fast at the top as my '92 Sentra SE-R though. Now that car had some stones for a 140 hp 4-cyl.
