Me vs. MR2

It was so fun. I was going down the road around 12:15am looking for some fun, and here comes this MR2 riding my ***. Looked like a pretty nice car, thought I was gonna get my *** handed to me. We pulled up to the light and waited for the green. Green light, he came out strong. When I put her into 2nd he was about 3 cars lengths in front of me. When I got up to about 4500rpms in 2nd, I was getting closer and closer. I put it in 3rd and he was dust. He kept wanting to race me...so we kept going at every light. Every race was the same. We pulled into a gas station. He wanted to race on the highway. He said "I KNOW I can get you on the highway." So we went...I let him go first. When I got upto around 60mph it was over. My spedo only goes to 85, but when it was past 85 he was a tiny light in my mirror. My first kill! Woo!

i'm guessing not, but was it a turbo? cuz if it was a turbo, i'd say that you might have gotten beat, but i dunno that's just me talking, i hear that the turbos are pretty quick.

Oh, it was one of the older models, like around 91 or so. Not a new one.

I read on MR2.com; the 90-95s were both turbocharged and non-turbocharged.
